AT&T SPONSORS DISTANCE LEARNING PROJECT
The AT&T Foundation gave Pennsylvania State University $300,000 toward
technology training and developing enthusiasm among professors for distance
learning. The university will team professors up with experts in computer
and multimedia technology to adapt course material for presentation over
interactive television or computer systems. The project's goal is "to
really develop a pedagogy related to distance education," says Penn State's
VP and dean for continuing and distance education. Two historically black
institutions also will take part in the program, to determine strategies
for smaller institutions and diverse student populations. (Chronicle of
