Bangkok CMC Discussion
Topic: Strategic Planning in Distance Education
 
Welcome to the discussion on strategic planning in distance
education. Dr. Tony Bates will lead this discussion and serve as the
online expert. I will be hosting and moderating the discussion. I am
posting the topic for discussion and an introduction to Dr. Bates in
separate messages. When you participate in the discussions,  please
introduce yourself briefly and identify your institution so that we get
a sense of our online community.
 
A few words about myself.  I am an assistant professor in
instructional technology and distance education at the Division of
Innovative Programs in Education, College of Education, University of
New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, U.S.A.  I currently teach graduate
courses in distance education (DE), including the theory and practice
of DE, instructional design, multicultural and international 
applications
of DE, instructional television, telecomputing and teleconferencing.
My current research interests center on examining the interaction of
learning styles and media, methods of instruction and group functioning
in DE, and group dynamics in computer conferencing.  I am originally
from Sri Lanka; received a Ph.D. in instructional technology from the
University of Kansas in 1988, and was a Kellogg Post-doctoral Research
Fellow at the University of Oklahoma.
 
If you have any concerns regarding this discussion or would like to 
give me feedback, please send me a private e-mail message.
 
Looking forward to seeing you online.
