Dear Mike:
==========
(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I).
Dear David, Tapio and Marco:
============================
(2) Mike Moore is now working to publish an authoritative
and prestigious
"Handbook of Distance Education."
Dear David:
===========
(3) Can you contribute a write-up which describes how the
principle of
Fulbright exchange program can be enhanced and/or applied
to e-learning?
Dear Tapio and Marco:
=====================
(4) Can you come up a write-up on the vision of global e-learning?
This can be the extension of the things Marco did for
the UNESCO World
Conference on Higher Education on 9 October 1998, Paris,
France but
this time, especially for GLOBAL E-LEARNING.
BTW, I will contribute a paper on GUS -- which is
the same as the
one I presented at The 14th Annual Conference of The
Asian
Association of Open Universities (AAOU) at The University
of
Philippines/Open University, Manila, Philippines 25-27
October 2000
-- see http://www.friends-partners.org/GLOSAS/Manila%20Workshop/GUS_Paper/Manila_conf_10-00/GUS_Paper_Manila_conf.html
Peter Knight and Joe Pelton will contribute a paper on GSTF.
If possible, you may extract or condense the references
in the "Reference
Materials for Constructing Guidelines for Global E-Learning"
at
http://www.friends-partners.org/GLOSAS/Global_University/Guideline/List_of_Materials.html
Dear Tapio:
===========
(5) You may recruit Mike for your Finnish Virtual University project.
Dear Fred Litto:
================
(6) Can you join in this team with Tapio and Marco? -- to
include the Code of
Ethics of E-learning which you made for the ABED during your
conference
in Sao Paulo last August?
http://www.friends-partners.org/GLOSAS/Global_University/Guideline/Code_of_Ethics.html
Dear Mike:
==========
(7) I have another suggestion.
Pls retrieve "Final report of Web-based Education
Commission - December
30, 2000" at http://www.friends-partners.org/~utsumi/gu-l/mid-2000/12-30-a.html
This report commends that the e-learning should be the
center piece of
the US federal education policy, but, alas, it does not mention
many web
learning platforms.
Your handbook may collect papers which describe experiences
of using
those various platforms by educationalists who may be suggested
by the
authors/vendors of the platforms. Some of those platforms
are listed in
the draft of our "Guideline of E-learning" at
http://www.friends-partners.org/GLOSAS/Global_University/Guideline/List_of_Materials.html
Pls let me know if you would agree with this suggestion.
I may mobilize
our colleagues to complete the list and get the appropriate
authors for each platform.
(8) I would also suggest that you made a CD version of your
handbook so that
many html files can be included with photos, diagrams, animation,
music,
audio and video, etc. Some of them could be electronic book
version, too
-- see some of examples in "DVD-ROM and Electronic Books
for ESL plan - December 21, 2000" at
http://www.friends-partners.org/~utsumi/gu-l/mid-2000/12-21-a.html
Best, Tak

ATTACHMENT I
Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2000 13:49:56 -0500
To: Tak Utsumi <utsumi@columbia.edu>
From: "Michael G. Moore" <mgmoore@psu.edu>
Subject: Re: Handbook of Distance Education
Dear Tak,
Its a wonderful idea to have short pieces from people like Johnson
and
Varis and I am sure we could format the chapter in a way that
would either
include their contributions within the body of the text, or possibly
make
them separate pieces, perhaps in boxes.
About a year ago I gave a presentation to Fulbright and urged
an electronic
networking of their organization for the future; unfortunately
I was not as
well in touch with the GUS thinking then as I am now .... Your
thinking is
as far-sighted as ever! .... Also have memories going back to
the 70's of
University of Tampere ... gave training sessions for some of their
faculty
on distance education in the early 90's .... if the chance arises
to return
there to help out with GUS, would be happy to take it ....
Please accept my most sincere wishes for a very Happy New Year
for you and
yours ...... you are a special person for all of us who know you
......
Mike.
