From zita at ISI.EDU Thu Apr 1 17:02:01 2004 From: zita at ISI.EDU (Zita Wenzel) Date: Thu Apr 1 17:00:43 2004 Subject: [APRU-NET] [Response required] APRUNet Distance Learning Web Sites Message-ID: <406CBB89.6010009@isi.edu> Dear APRUNet Representatives, I am reminding you of an action item that we all agreed on at the APRUNet Singapore meeting. It was suggested, and we agreed, that each university would submit a distance learning web site portal (or individual site) that we could then list on the APRU web page under an APRUNet Distance Learning Portal. This would allow each of us to get more information exchanged about what is going on at other APRU institutions regarding distance learning. I have only received responses from Stanford University, University of Oregon, UCLA, and University of Southern California. > 1.
