EDITOR'S NOTE:
Editor’s Note: For this special
issue of Educational Pathways I had
the pleasure of communicating with
11 education organization leaders
(listed below). Trying to capture
the true essence of the collective
communication I had with these
highly knowledgeable educators was a
tremendous challenge. There are not
enough pages here to paint a truly
accurate picture of the great amount
of information they imparted.
Nonetheless, the story that
ultimately came out on pages one
through six can be considered a good
source for generating meaningful and
important discussion among distance
education faculty and
administrators, as well as Federal
and State policy makers who are
responsible for shaping the future
of higher education. (You can also
visit all of the organization Web
sites, also listed below, for vast
amounts of truly helpful
information, on numerous levels,
about distance education.)
The next issue of Educational
Pathways will be published on
September 15, 2003. Here’s wishing
all of our many readers a great
summer.
Please keep in
touch,
