Workshop aims: The workshop should help you to:
1. Clarify what teaching techniques you are looking for in open or distance
learning materials.
2. Improve your ability to develop effective learning materials by sharing
the experience of:
(a) commenting on other people's materials;
(b) considering other people's comments on those materials; and

development in your own organisation.
