From zita at ISI.EDU Fri Nov 12 14:31:29 2004 From: zita at ISI.EDU (Zita Wenzel) Date: Sat Nov 13 19:59:20 2004 Subject: [APRU-NET] APRUNet Distance Learning Partnership Project Message-ID: <419539C1.50904@isi.edu> Dear Colleagues, Thank you for attending the APRUNet Distance Learning Partnership Project (DLPP) meeting that was held on 11 October 2004 at Tsinghua University in conjunction with APRU's Distance Learning and the Internet conference (http://dli2004.sce.tsinghua.edu.cn/). We discussed the restart of this project which was delayed by SARS and is partially funded by an APEC grant. We reached a consensus that it will be based on collaborative teams of high school students working on a marine and ocean biology project via videoconferencing. The students will also be having a face-to-face conference to discuss their results which may be in conjunction with an APRU conference on the same topic. We talked about scheduling a videoconference to begin planning this project. On second thought, I think a teleconference would be preferred for the initial discussion(s) so that we are not concerned about the technology and that we are more inclusive of organizations that may have trouble scheduling this technology. I propose that we have a teleconference on: Los Angeles Tuesday, November 23 17:00 GMT -8 Vladivostock Wednesday, November 24 11:00 GMT +10 Singapore Wednesday, November 24 09:00 GMT +8 Beijing Wednesday, November 24 09:00 GMT +8 Tokyo Wednesday, November 24 10:00 GMT +9 Jakarta Wednesday, November 24 08:00 GMT +7 World Clock can provide other date and time conversions (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/). Could you please indicate if you can make this call, or if you are interested in the project but cannot make this date and/or time? Thank you.

The competition is designed to increase student involvement in distance learning in general, and in this conference in particular, through distance learning design using advanced technologies. I hope that this will benefit the students and that we may benefit from student experiences and points of view. A PDF file of the initial announcement is attached. We are looking for judges for this competition. The judges will also refine the criteria for judging. If you are interested in supporting student involvement in distance learning, and would like to help judge this competition, please email me at: . Thank you for your interest and support.
