New Learning Technologies and Women: A Two-day Workshop to Unveil Recent Research Findings & Discuss the Implications
In 1995, CCLOW developed the Janus Project to examine new communications technologies as they related to women's learning. The Project was conceived in two parts: the development of a discussion paper on issues surrounding new technologies and how they affect women's opportunities to learn, and a two-day workshop to discuss the findings of the paper and identity areas for further work.
