Steve Wheeler (a fine contributor to the world of online learning himself with a blog worth subscribing to and a very active Twitter presence with a Twitter handle that beats most) interviews our own Terry Anderson about distance learning and Terry's views on related topics.
Disclaimer: this includes good plugs for both the Landing and books that I have contributed to and that I have cowritten with Terry, plus Terry is a good friend of mine. But he is also, as Steve says, "one of the famous figures of contemporary education, and his list of achievements is lengthy." It's worth reminding ourselves from time to time that we have a very good percentage of the most significant thinkers and researchers in distance and online education in the World here at Athabasca University, of which Terry is one of the great leading lights.

The interview is great.I like the proliferation of web 2.0which as Steven rightly pointed out will enhance distant learning.I do notice that he mentioned a book is due to be published in Spring and I can actually see the book in the Athabasca University store.........http://www.aupress.ca/index.php/books/bySeries?s=DistanceEducation
Great interview, interesting and revealing.
