Dare We Practice What We Preach?
Alexander Romiszowski.
(Educational Technology 47/2, March-April 2007, pp61-64)
WHY DID I MISS WRITING A COLUMN FOR THE PREVIOUS ISSUE?
This column follows four months after the previous one that was published in the September/October 2006 issue of the magazine. I had to skip an issue due to other work on several projects with overlapping timelines. Up to September, I was fully occupied organizing the program for the ICDE World Conference on Distance Education. Then came the conference itself, followed by work on editing the 400-odd papers in preparation for production of the conference proceedings. In parallel, I started to work on three projects, one in the USA, one in Mozambique and the third in Azerbaijan. All three projects are concerned with curriculum and course design/development. This made it difficult to meet my column-writing deadlines. However, it also suggested that the next column could well address some aspects of curriculum and course design that have appeared interesting or critical in one, or maybe all, of these overlapping projects.
