In recognition of the importance of strengthening cooperation and reinforcing the impact of activities of the International Council for Open and Distance Education (ICDE) and its network of members globally, ICDE have launched a regional Operational Network.
The ICDE Operational Network has been launched in partnership with the African Virtual University, Kenya, Swedish Association for Distance Education, Sweden, The International University UNINETTUNO, Italy and Universitas Terebuka, Indonesia. The launch of the regional Operational Network will come into effect from January 2016. Its launch was announced by outgoing ICDE President, Tian Belawati, President of Universitas Terebuka, Indonesia, at the 26TH ICDE World Conference that was hosted by UNISA in Sun City, South Africa on the 16 October 2015. Over 900 delegates from over 67 countries were in attendance during the event.
The purpose of the ICDE Operational Network is to strengthen ICDE as membership driven organization and offer a regional localised support structure. In addition, it will strengthen the visibility and representation of ICDE around the world and increase ICDE’s operational capacity, global insight and it will support global knowledge exchange. Gard Titlestad, ICDE Secretary General said “We are very much looking forward to working in partnership with the regional ICDE Operational Networks. It enables ICDE to offer a more localised, personalised on the ground, support network system and offer its members regional tailored events and resources, something that is very much needed”. For the regional partners, the benefits of being an ICDE Operational Network is extensive. It enables them increased regional and global visibility, access to ICDEs’ extensive global network and insight into the daily operations of ICDE, the leading global membership organization for open, distance, flexible and online education, including e-learning.
The Operational Networks are known as:
- ICDE Operational Network Mediterranean and Southern Europe
- ICDE Operational Network Boldic
- ICDE Operational Network Asia Pacific
- ICDE Operational Network Africa
Outgoing ICDE President, Tian Belawati said “I leave my capacity as ICDE President with confidence that the ICDE Network will cater to the needs of members and grow, galvanise and invigorate online and distance education regionally.”
