>Dr. Fred Saba CEO of Distance-educator.com discusses distance learning
>Dr. Saba is a professor at the San Diego State University where he has been
>a leader in distance learning technologies for many years.  Several years
>ago, he founded Distance-educator.com with a web site,
>www.distance-educator.com, which is one of the most thorough and most
>reliable resources for information on distance learning.  His company also
>produces a daily newsletter with current highlights in this field.  In the
>interview, Fred notes that we are barely beginning to understand what
>distance learning and how best to use it:
>
>We have the rhetoric of personalizing instruction on the web, but I do not
>think that we have even scratched the surface of that.  And personalization
>of learning is for everybody.  People have different skills in different
>areas.  Not everybody has all the skills and not everybody is talented in
>certain areas. And so therefore one of the challenges in the future would
>be to make learning as personalized as possible.  And we have not even
>scratched the surface of that.
