Tiivistelmä
This publication describes the basis from which the structures, strategies and teaching and learning processes of open and distance learning were created and implemented for the first time at Tribhuvan University in Nepal. JAMK University of Applied Sciences has collaborated with diverse organisations in Nepal for several years. The development collaboration that this publication focuses on concerns the Training of Trainers for the Teacher Qualification Upgrading Programme in Nepal (ToT Nepal) funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, HEI ICI programme. The main goal of the programme was to strengthen the expertise of Tribhuvan University in order to establish an open and distance learning system, and thereby to provide more flexible studying
possibilities to teachers who are already working.
This publication provides viewpoints, concepts and some practices that have been discussed and worked on with the personnel of Tribhuvan University during the workshops. The concept of learning and pedagogy forms the foundation for the development of education. Therefore, the issue of learning
shows as a cross-cutting theme in the articles. Furthermore, the context of the development of open and distance learning has a fundamental impact on the content of the development work. In the case of Nepal, the technology infrastructure is still rather weak and, therefore, starting from the basics reflects from the articles.
The writers were the experts in the above-mentioned project from JAMK and Häme Universities of Applied Sciences. The writers of the articles cover their role and expertise areas in the project.
