The SERENE program, coined as an acronym
for South-South Exchange of Research and Education Network
Experience, was a series of activities that applied what is
called the 'blended learning' approach, using a
combined variety of tools such as web based discussions,
live multisite videoconferences, and in person study visits
and workshops, as a program of the global development
learning network. Given the global and collaborative nature
of contemporary research and the digitization of knowledge
resources, access to internet and to research networks has
become a pre-requisite for the provision of quality higher
education in a country. Yet in some South Asian countries
access to internet is poor and still very expensive, leading
to academic isolation, exclusion from global research and
low quality of teaching. The objectives of the program were
to assist the participants in producing country policy plans
for building research networks in their own countries and to
encourage the establishment of a regional association of
South Asian National Research and Education Networks
(NRENs). The eventual outcomes of the program were, on the
one hand, a conviction by the participating policy makers
that an NREN was essential for the development of their
higher education systems, and on the other, a series of
policy notes to their respective governments on how to go
about establishing and managing such a network. |
