Webcast Interview with Dr. Fred Saba CEO of Distance-educator.com

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.
