"Looking forward by looking
back”: a review of 25 years of editorials in The American
Journal of Distance Education
Professor Michael
Grahame Moore
Distinguished Professor of
Education, Pennsylvania State University
Michael G. Moore is known in
academic circles for his leadership in promoting the
scholarship of distance education in the United States. He
published his first statement of theory about distance
education in 1972 and has achieved a number of ‘firsts’ in
this field. While teaching the first graduate course in this
subject at University of Wisconsin in the mid 70’s he was
contributory to founding the national annual conference
there.
Coming to Penn State in 1986 he
founded the first American journal (American Journal of
Distance Education), established the first Sequence of
taught graduate courses, a national research symposium, and
an online community of interest (DEOS). Before joining Penn
State in 1986 he worked for nine years at the British Open
University and has experience of teaching in all
technologies and most client groups.
Moore has served on the
editorial boards of all the main distance education journals
and his publications include Contemporary Issues in
American Distance Education (Pergamon Press, 1990), Distance
Education: A Systems View, co-authored with Greg
Kearsley (Wadsworth Publishers, 1996 and 2005), subsequently
published in Chinese, Japanese and Korean, and the Handabook
of Distance Education (2003 and 2007).
Academic degrees in both
economics and education and an early seven-year career in
African education led to a lifelong interest in education
for development. This has included employment at the World
Bank and numerous consulting assignments for UNESCO, the
International Monetary Fund, and the Commonwealth of
Learning as well as several foreign governments.
His keynote speech for ICICTE

Cooperative Freedom and
Transparency in Online Education
Professor Morten
Flate Paulsen

opportunities to provide online education that combines
individual freedom with meaningful cooperation. Online students
often seek individual flexibility and freedom. At the same time,
many need or prefer cooperation and social unity . These aims
are difficult to combine, so the presentation discusses online
education tools and services that support both individual
freedom and cooperation. The presentation also elucidates the
opportunities and challenges with transparency in online
learning environments and provides examples and experiences from
Universidade Aberta in Portugal and NKI Nettstudier in Norway.

Simple Tools that can
Revolutionse Feedback we Provide
Russell Stannard
Principal Teaching Fellow at the
University of Warwick, UK.
In this talk Russell Stannard is going to present his "pioneering" work on feedback.
He will talk about how he initially developed the idea, the
research he has undertaken and the feedback from students. This
idea has been taken up by literally thousands of teachers all
over the world and he has presented his work in more than 15
countries. It has had widespread press coverage not only because
of its impact but also because of its simplicity. It is an idea
that can be quickly adopted and adapted to a whole range of
teaching contexts and bring about real changes in the teaching
and learning experience.
Read about his work in
the Guardian 2012
http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2012/jan/10/esl-video-feedback
Russell Stannard is a
Principal Teaching Fellow at the University of Warwick,
specialising in the application of media and technology to
improve teaching, particularly in language learning. He runs
the website
www.teachertrainingvideos.com
which provides step by step help videos for teachers who want to
incorporate technology into their teaching. In 2008 he won
the Times Higher "Outstanding Initiative" in ICT for the website
and in 2010 he won the British Council "Innovation" award. The
site gets more than a quarter of a million visits a year from
teachers all around the world. Russell Stannard's work on feedback is
especially well-known and his pioneering of the use of screen
capture for feedback has received large scale press coverage
around the world and his concepts were recently included in a
report submitted to the UK government.
