中国非传统高等教育与学习型社会建设 ─ 在”2008年世界开放与远程教育论坛”上的主题报告

Trends, Innovations, and Opportunities in Open and Distance Learning

应论坛组委会邀请，今天我给大家汇报一下关于”中国非传统高等教育与学习型社会建设”的一些思考。我想从中国非传统高等教育的发展历史角度，看看能够给我们带来一些什么样的启示。
人们常说历史是一面镜子。今天很高兴看到出席本次会议的ICDE主席正是一位从事历史学研究的工作者（历史学家），我想他对历史研究一定非常地深刻。借今天这个机会，想和来自世界各地的同仁们一起来审视中国非传统高等教育的历史这面镜子，看看我们能够发现些什么。我今天的报告分三个部分，先从未来开始，从现在和未来来看我们有什么样的要求，然后我们通过这些要求和需要来审视我们曾经走过的路，最后看看我们能够得出什么。
