Dear Sarah, Thank you very much indeed for this explanation and information. I am very much interested. Since I am doing promotion and advocacy for OER concept in Burma-Myanmar I will be going there again in late March. I will do the ground work there and will come back to you with the update. Please kindly help me as I go along this road.
Thank you again. best regards, NiNi ------ Prof. Dr. Khin Ni Ni Thein (Mrs.) Founder and President Water, Research and Training Centre (WRTC) http://www.wrtcmyan.org Board Member International Research Associates for Happy Society http://www.happysociety.org Mission e-mail <[email protected]> ---- "Many times a day I realize how much my own inner and outer life is built on the labors of other men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give and return as much as I have received." --Albert Einstein =========== On Wed, Mar 2, 2011 at 8:27 AM, Sarah Stewart <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Gene > > Otago Polytechnic offers a Graduate Certificate of Tertiary Learning and > Teaching which was initially developed for its teaching staff.
