  Abstract/
Summary
Globally, distance learning programmes have become an increasingly popular method to enhance knowledge and skills, particularly online learning at the academic level for courses, programmes and degrees. However, the 'digital divide' conditions that exist often make its development problematic for developing countries.

Moreover, the study discusses critical issues and activities that appear necessary for its development and implementation.
