Coombs" Subject: (#100) Announcing world distance ed conference 118 lines >From "Chris Clark 814-863-3778" THE AMERICAN CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF DISTANCE EDUCATION announces a preconference workshop RESEARCH IN DISTANCE EDUCATION: SETTING A GLOBAL AGENDA FOR THE NINETIES In Caracas, Venezuela --- Fri.-Sun. Nov. 2-4, 1990 in conjunction with the XV WORLD CONFERENCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL FOR DISTANCE EDUCATION One of the major goals of ICDE is to promote and conduct research and scholarship on distance education. A workshop on international research in distance education sponsored by the American Center for the Study of Distance Education in conjunction with ICDE will be held November 2, 3, and 4, immediately prior to the World Conference in Caracas. The objectives are to exchange information on current research initiatives around the world, and to lay the foundation for future collaborative research. There will be three days of thought-provoking sessions, information-sharing time, and idea-generating discussion with world leaders in distance education research. It is hoped that projects conceived at the workshop will help formulate ICDE's agenda for research for the period 1990-1992 and will qualify for preliminary funding as official ICDE projects. Participants should plan to bring a short, written statement of their research ideas. -------------------- [A complete version of this announcement is now available on the file-server, s.v.
