Distance Education Clearinghouse
"The Distance Education Clearinghouse is comprehensive and widely recognized web site bringing together distance education information from Wisconsin, national, and international sources. New information and resources are being added to the Distance Education Clearinghouse on a continual basis. Our mission is to produce a quality, highly maintained and frequently updated web site that provides a wide range of information about distance education and related resources. The Distance Education Clearinghouse is managed and maintained by the University of Wisconsin-Extension, in cooperation with its partners and other University of Wisconsin institutions. The Distance Education Clearinghouse was launched on the web in 1995. We first appeared as an electronic bulletin board in the 1980s. In the early 1990s, we re-tooled our resources to be available via the gopher protocol (remember the gopher?!). When the web version arrived, there were only a dozen or so web sites devoted to distance education and related topics. We've been going strong ever since, receiving communications and inquiries from visitors worldwide. In 2006, our web site was totally redesigned. "

The Clever Sheep: Twitter Bingo
"Earlier today, I found myself reflecting on the variety of positive professional interactions I've had on Twitter in recent days. As an illustration of the great many ways an educator can put Twitter to use, I've just created a mock-up of Twitter Bingo for Education."
Distance Education Leadership for the New Century
"A new role for the professoriate in the new millennium has been recognized and encouraged, especially as technology-assisted instruction has proliferated and changed the way teachers and students interact, as well as the manner in which educational entities must now do business to meet the demands of a digitized society. The literature describing the rapid evolution of distance education delivery systems over the past twenty years has frequently categorized it into three stages, from correspondence education, to technology-assisted education and, more recently, networked education. Although all three remain, and there are variants on each of these models, the theme is consistent that we are now witnessing dramatic changes in how instruction is designed and delivered across time and space. As this dynamic becomes more frequent and more pervasive, faculty have been admonished to be more receptive and adaptive to opportunities for playing exciting new roles in the distance education arena."
Development of Training and Support Programs for Distance Education Instructors
"There is arguably no area more important to distance learning administrators than that of training and support for distance educators. Many educators have reached a level of understanding and experience in which they are highly confident in their ability to deliver quality instruction. When they are faced with adopting techniques that seem to curtail their abilities to immediately interact with students and require the utilization of new technologies, they are understandably fearful that their instruction and subsequent evaluations will suffer.
Yet, a well-planned, proactive distance training and support program will result in distance instructors again feeling confident and hopeful of the new possibilities for teaching and learning ahead of them. Many will find that they are able to interact with a diversity of students in ways that were dampened by face-to-face contact. Others will eventually find such great success in the distance classroom that they will go on to serve as mentors to the distance instructors who follow them."

Of Myths and Mirth: Providing Online Education by Jack W. Brown, Ph.D. in the Journal of Online Education
"Like any adult who is forced to do something, rebellion, specifically intellectual rebellion, is the immediate result. Unfortunately, when pressure is omnipresent, rebellion quickly turns to resentment, which gives way to anger, long the mother of hostility. It is the state of hostility that presently consumes a large portion of college faculty as regards the reality of online education. Unfortunately, dedicated, articulate faculty are so enraged at the prospect of being forced to create and deliver online courses that when they are asked to detail why they feel the way they do, when they are provided the opportunity to support their beliefs, they throw their hands up, shake their heads profusely and often only say, “I’m just not going to do it.” "

You can use it to make an exciting, interactive and educational computer-based gameshow available to everybody. It can be used in so many different situations - in schools and colleges, at conferences and parties. But the main use is expected to be in classrooms, that's why Quiz Boxes is all about POINTS, not DOLLARS. There is no link to gambling like there is with that other game."
