| Sumario: | New ways of providing access to education for a much higher percentage of the population are being devised. The most dramatic examples of access to education are the 11 distance-education mega-universities located worldwide. The basic delivery system for these institutions is television, augmented by other technologies and some on-site instruction in developed countries.

The writer discusses his predictions for the impact of technology on educational institutions. |
