Back in December I posted about the launch of something called CIDER, the Canadian Institute for Distance Education Research. Next Friday, March 11 (wow does time fly!), CIDER is offering an online presentation through Elluminate which will look at "the state of distance education research in Canada and at CIDER,
present a rationale for increasing funding and support, and discuss
“design-based research” method specific to distance education research.
The session will also present the component pieces and functions of
CIDER." I’ve signed up and if I actually am able to "attend" I’ll let you know if anything particularly interesting was mentioned…
