Abstract: This report is made up of 20 case descriptions of tertiary level distance-delivered educational programs developed specifically for indigenous students in three countries: Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Included in each case is a description of the institutions and stakeholders involved in each course or program, history of the initiative, and its future. Each case focuses particularly on four areas: indigenous community involvements, inclusion of language and culture, student support, and course or program design and delivery. These are four of the areas identified in the literature as essential to the success of distance-delivered programs and courses for indigenous people. The information is based on review of program publications and face-to-face interviews with educators at the 23 institutions visited. Each case begins with a brief description of the institution at which the program is housed to provide readers with a context for the case. This is followed by a description of the stakeholders. Next is a brief overview of the case followed by sections on history and community involvement, client profile, inclusion of language and culture, student/participant support, design and delivery, and future and challenges. For some a separate section on student entry requirements and financial support is included. (Contains 57 references.) (JB)
