Abstract This Paper reviews current research on how well distance education helps to provide access to education around the world, drawing from the Papers published to the ‘Distances and Access to Education’ website to date 20 June 2008, plus some recently added or related papers. This review takes the format of a meta-analysis of all these published works, and draws conclusions from them. These conclusions are : 1. Develop free and open education resources in the native language of each student - including student-created content in local radio and television ; 2. Externalize examinations away from the teaching process to regional supra-institutional accreditation agencies ; 3. Use scaffolds to provide collaborative group learning as the core structure in distance education courses for critical thinking skills for job mobility and social capital. These three conclusions derived and presented here can be interpreted as suggestions or guidelines for the future directions of distance education.

The author explores the contribution of the different articles to the five main themes by which they have been classified, and highlights their main interest. To conclude, she draws some lessons related to one of the leads proposed in the editorial of this special issue.
