About Ray's News Blogs We are
confronted with the challenge of keeping up with the changing technologies,
issues and related developments in education, distance education, and online
learning. For years, I have scanned the news daily for items of
relevance in the field of new communication technologies, educational
technologies, and online learning. I have used these to keep my
technologies seminars and classes up-to-date and fresh for my students.
It seemed most efficient to share these news items with a broader group
of colleagues, students and other academics who also may be interested in
following the developments in this field. Therefore, I created three
web logs: Online Learning Update, Education Technology, and Techno-News
to deliver and archive brief summaries and hyperlinks of interest to those
who share my enthusiasm and keen interest in this field. I scan dozens
of online news and journal sources each morning beginning before 6:00 a.m.
central time. I select items that seem most relevant to current issues
and trends in this developing field. My daily postings are generally
completed by 8:30 a.m. In the
spirit of fair use, the intent of the news blogs is
to serve the scholarly, academic community with links to relevant news and
information. I post minimal information, quoting only few lines of copy
to identify the topic and relevance of each item with a prominent active
hyperlink to the full report or article. The intent is not to
replace the reading of news sources, but
rather to encourage blog readers to visit
the cited sources and engage in scholarly reflection and local discourse on
the topics. I hope that
you find this service useful. Please share any comments, questions, or
suggestions with me: schroeder.ray@uis.edu
