Hey, Richard I just wanted to say thank you for all the great posts this evening about knowledge. Mom and I were out shopping today, including Whole Foods! I'm pretty zonked right now. We're also watching a TV show about a cute litter of puppies called Too Cute. Evidently Saturday night leaves a lot to be desired TV-wise! My last job at MUM was as the Distance Education Coordinator for the Computer Science Dept. We sent out videotapes, that's how long ago that was! Why don't you and Richard take your posts to each other offline where the two of you can marvel at how inane they all are. Remember, save the bandwidth, or whatever it is Ricky continually goes on about.

But, at least I'm working from home now and not in that tall building on campus anymore. One teacher I know told me he 'didn't work on weekends' and I told him that if he wanted to teach an online course, it's the weekends when the students need the most help doing their homework! So, I got the job. Go figure. My Mission Statement: We are aware that learning is a complex, inter-related series of system processes. Instruction requires the employment of cognitive psychology in the design and structure of online teaching to enhance the goal at hand: faster, easier, and to retain and assimilate knowledge. In short, what is needed is an effective pedagogy. When your course or presentation is made interesting and interactive with multimedia, your audience will stay longer, return more often, and retain more knowledge. The primary tool to attain this goal are the new internet media course tools with technical support in an on-line or off-line setting. The incorporation of multimedia and the internet in computer based training and distance learning has made the dream of teachers, trainers, and/or learners come true. Richard J.
