Abstract	This discussion paper explores the extent to which new learning technologies can help make learning more available, accessible, and compatible with women's needs and goals. The following topics are discussed: the paper's framework and data sources (discussions with individuals from all regions of Canada whose experience encompasses a range of formal and nonformal education and training, a review of literature on women and new learning technologies, and a review of public policy documents related to technology and learning); expectations and educator provision of access for women and the four levels of access (infrastructure and community, institutional, and individual access); costs and use of resources (values and cost, payment for education and training in Canada, and comparative costs of "old" and "new" technologies); quality and equality of learning (perspectives on learning, different learning tasks, instructor perspectives, keeping a holistic approach in the forefront, the economic rationale); opportunities for learning (nonformal learning and information sharing, formal learning, good examples, the global picture); and tools and strategies (finding and sharing information, evaluating programs, discovering real options, exploring underlying values, conveying concerns to decision makers). A 21-item annotated bibliography and 99-item bibliography are included. (MN)
