History
The Australian and South Pacific External Studies Association (ASPESA) was established in 1973.
Its first objectives were to: 1) promote understanding and cooperation among those concerned with the improvement of external studies in Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, and other neighbouring countries; 2) foster a high standard in the practice and study of external studies at post-secondary level; 3) hold forums on various aspects of external studies; and 4) disseminate information about research and practice in external studies. [1]
The association was reconstituted in 1993 as the Open and Distance Learning Association of Australia, Inc.
