The contributors to the 13 chapters in this book are nationally and internationally renowned scholars in teacher education, ODL or both. Collectively, the perspectives and insights they provide – varying in a range of contexts and countries – respond to three key questions:

• What are the intentions, forms and effects of current enactments of ODL?
• What new perspectives on educational provision are created by the contemporary and possible future intersection between teacher education and ODL?
• What are the implications of those enactments for envisaging and implementing effective, efficient and equitable teacher education?
