Abstract | Global civilization means simultaneously progress for everybody and destruction of the ethical and mythical nucleus of individual cultures. The role of education in the global world would be to start a universal dialogue between all the cultural groups of the world. Education will save the values now in danger, because a multicultural dialogue may rescue endangered cultures. Computer-based distance education and training in developing countries ought to fulfill the same goals as the whole educational system to prepare people for the oncoming globalization. A virtual college is one expression of a growing virtual society that also includes virtual corporations, telework, telemedicine, and teledemocracy. Many new technologies have a potential application in education: the Internet, intranets, World Wide Web, electronic mail, groupware videoconferencing, workflow, CD-ROMS, and interactive television. A virtual college project based on e-mail has been proposed. The structure includes a virtual classroom, subscription to lists, virtual library, virtual administrative office, and virtual company. Courses are organized according to a schedule that includes dates for registration, distribution of lessons, and evaluation. Students are always given a manual with course details, scheduling, curricula and specific instruction, bibliography, and information about homework evaluation, certificates, and qualification.
