University of Southern Queensland and GDLN Asia Pacific Sign Partnership Agreement
The University of Southern Queensland (USQ) and the Asia Pacific Global Development Learning Network, through the TDLC, have signed a Partnership Agreement in March 2007 to undertake a range of collaborative programs. This partnership will contribute to enhance education, learning and development efforts in the region as well as the capacity building of GDLN Asia Pacific.
Envisioned are the joint development and delivery of a blended learning GDLN program which meets regional development needs; the review of options for using university research infrastructure as the basis for a regional “GDLN Knowledge Bank”; the exploration of ICE, an open source content management system developed by USQ for use within the GDLN.
USQ is a world leader in the development and delivery of distance learning programs. It has a large number of students from the region studying on campus or through distance learning, and is dedicated to regional development through education.
