Abstract En este trabajo se pretenden establecer (no exhaustivamente) articulaciones entre: 1) los aportes de los estudios sobre las TICS y sus posibilidades respecto del conocimiento y la comunicación; 2) la mirada específicamente educativa (y en cierta medida psicológica) sobre el hecho educativo; y 3) los saberes generados a partir de los usos de las TICS en educación a distancia. De este modo se van identificando rupturas y continuidades respecto del aporte al derecho a la educación. Se parte de pensar la educación como lucha por el reconocimiento - deseo de aprender y poder de enseñar – (Cullen, 2005). Por ello, cuando se habla de garantizar la igualdad de oportunidades es fundamental pensarla desde la dignidad de los sujetos de la educación. El derecho a la educación como un derecho humano “significa una obligación para el poder político y los poderes sociales de garantizar la igualdad de oportunidades para todos, sin que medie ningún condicionamiento.” (Cullen, 2005, pág. 59). En este sentido, el trabajo constituye una reflexión que plantea diferentes temáticas orientadas a comprender y profundizar las rupturas en pro de una educación cada vez más orientada a construir una ciudadanía crítica, justa, equitativa y fraternal.

Abstract The future of e-Learning is on the way to be constructed within ICT standardization international instances. The sub-committee 36 of ISO, which is responsible for standardizing educational technologies, is certainly the most prominent of all. The authors of this paper, who are official delegates of the Agency of French Speaking Universities (AUF) with this structure, highlight the strategic importance of active monitoring of e-Learning standards for preserving cultural diversity, linguistic and equal access to education for all.

Abstract While availability of information and access to it enables education in developing countries, information alone does not secure transmission of knowledge—especially to remote learners in low-tech, infrastructure-poor communities. For this reason, 21st century distance education tools require innovative mechanisms for accessing the hardest-to-reach learners. This paper explores an ethnographic case study from Nepal as a means for illuminating the possibility for expanding the right to education in developing countries through an innovative approach: the microfranchising of microlearning centers.

Abstract The goal of ‘teacher quality for all’ is proving difficult to achieve in many countries, especially in rural areas, yet teacher quality is a key determinant of students’ participation rates and achievement levels. It also affects the attainment of social justice in terms of equity in educational quality for students. One contributor to teacher quality is professional development though limits on its availability and quality create inequity for many teachers. This paper describes how distance education and ICT improved access, equity, and quality in professional development for rural teachers in one province in western China, viewed through the lens of a ‘rights-based’ framework.
