    Learning resources in the training of Third World educational administrators
    (Jan-Apr. 1985) Rodwell, Susie;
    This paper presents some of the findings and experiences of the research project "Training Third World Educational Administrators - Methods and Materials" funded by the Overseas Development Administration. It looks first at the training of educational administrators, suggesting a number of problem areas that will need to be tackled if new training initiatives are to have a significant impact in the future. One critical issue is lack of training materials, and an overview of methods and materials used in training is provided, as well as an examination of questions concerning materials development, dissemination, and utilization. The materials developed by the project are described and some of the findings from the field trials are discussed. An attempt is made to synthesize the various strands of the discussion in order to present some more generalizable conclusions concerning learning resources for the professional development of educational administrators in the Third World

    The application of distance education to training in labour administration: The Caribbean experience
    Leslie, A. N.;
    This presentation describes a collaborative distance education project between the University of the West Indies (UWI) and the Caribbean Labour Administration Centre (CLAC) which resulted in CLAC using the UWI Distance Teaching Enterprise (UWIDITE) network to offer a training course for labour administrators in the Caribbean region. In addition, UWI offered a one-year full-time certificate course in Labour Administration. Three different courses were offered by CLAC over three years--Labour Inspection, Employment Service Operations, and Conciliation Methods and Techniques. The presentation begins by providing background information on the 21 countries served by CLAC. It then addresses the need for training of labour administrators; CLAC's partnership with UWI and UWIDITE; the comparative cost of these distance courses and the traditional seminar format; and technical preparation for the use of UWIDITE. A recounting of some of the experiences of CLAC with distance education courses concludes the paper
