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.
