The authors and titles of the remaining 10 papers are as follows: "The Development of Virtual Institutions in Canada" (Glen M. Farrell); "Distance and Virtual Learning in the United States" (Peter J. Dirr); "Distance and Virtual Learning in the Caribbean" (Peter J. Dirr); "Open and Distance Education Programmes in Latin America" (Victor Guerra Ortiz); "European Trends in the Virtual Delivery of Education" (Robin Mason); "Virtual Institutions on the African Continent" (Vis Naidoo, Casper Schutte); "Virtual Institutions in the Indian Subcontinent (Including Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka)" (Sugata Mitra); "Virtual Institutions in East and Southeast Asia" (Michael Robertshaw); "Virtual Education Institutions in Australia: Between the Idea and the Reality" (Suellen Tapsall, Yoni Ryan); and "Trends in the Virtual Delivery of Education in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands" (Lalita Rajasingham).
