It is now forging new collaborative relationships with other national and international bodies such as ALT and JISC in the UK and SURF in the Netherlands. Since 2001, the technologies considered at DIVERSE conferences have expanded to include other synchronous communication technologies, such as text- and audio-conferencing, and other image-based technologies such as virtual reality. This year the DIVERSE conference is also incorporating the topic of using ICT for sustainability and development, an area that many educationalists are becoming increasingly aware of having much in common with their field. The focus, however, is still on developing alternative modes of learning and teaching to complement the asynchronous text-based formats that predominate within E-learning.
