Subject:      Token ring eaves dropping

In response to Janet Sutherland.
  There is a special Token-Ring card available which can be put into
promiscuous mode permitting it to receive all network traffic.  Standard
Token-Ring cards cannot do this.  This is necessary occasionally for
network maintenance and debugging.  I suppose the card is available from
IBM.

Subject: Planning: process

Under the topic of process, I'd like to discuss planning models and
techniques within those models. At OLA, we have been using a strategic
planning model for over three years. This model is derived from
the business environment, and is the one 'taught' by the American
management Association. Basically, it consists of the following steps:
        Define a mission/mandate statement for the organization
                (what do we do)
        Scan the external environment: what is happening outside
                the Agency that may affect its work?
        Develop a SWOT analysis: what are the strengths/weaknesses/
                opportunities/threats for the Agency in the external
                environment?
        Issues definition: what are the main issues facing the Agency?
        Define strategic directions: what are the main directions that
                we want the Agency to go in?
        Define clear objectives for the next 3-5 years, in measurable
                terms
        Develop strategies to achieve those objectives
        Develop a budget to reflect these objectives/strategies
        Operationalize a plan to achieve objectives/strategies within
                the constraints of actual or likely budgets for the next
                year
        Measure the achievement or other wise of objectives
        Evaluate plan ready for next year's planning process.
We have now produced a strategic plan three times for the Ministry,
received a lot of praise and moral support for our mission and strategic
directions, but still been funded at more or less the same level as
all other post-secondary institutions. We are as a consequence
seeking to broaden our base of funding (our Ministry now provides
just two-thirds of our revenues, and this proportion is slowly
declining each year).
Questions:
        1.      Do you have a similar planning process? If so, what
                are your experiences? Has it worked? What are its
                limitations?
        2.      Do you have a different process? If so, what is it and
                what are your views on it?
        3.      If you don't have a process, but want to learn more
                about it, what areas are of particular interest?

Hi There!!
	Your problem using windows is the fact it is a super
memory Hog!! You need atleast an extra 2megs of System RAM in
order to speed up any program running under windows.
	Do you have the latest and greatest version of Windows
(v3.1??). It improves speed slightly from 3.0 but not much!!!

Would anyone be familiar with the National Geographic Kid's Network?  I
have heard something about it on one of the 5 lists I'm subscribed to...
but think that there was a brief discussion of it on this list sometime

Anyway, if anyone knows something about it, I'd appreciate hearing from

The remote program technically is in Instructional Performance Technology and
is through the College of Technology here at Boise State University.  It can be
completed in full by remote access.  I believe it has both synchronous and
asynchronous components.  It is equivalent to the Educational Technology
program in the College of Education.

I would be happy to forward any inquiries to the program director, Dr. Mark
Eisley, who can also be reached at:

I've heard the same thing, though referred to as 6.0.8P (presumably for
Performa, since the Performa 200 is essentially the Classic II and the Performa
400 is the LC II).  I have no concrete information, though.

Bangkok Project - Strategic Planning and Policy in Distance Education Topic

First Speaker - Dr. Tony Bates
                Director of research, Open Learning Agency, British Columbia

Dates: Oct. 12 - Oct. 26

Host Dr. Lani Gunuwardena


Topic Abstract:

What are the key policy and planning issues facing distance educators
today? Are there methods that can be used to 'anticipate the future'
and develop priorities that lead to survival or even growth in
an hostile or recessionary climate?
This conference will deal concurrently with both the 'issues' and the
'methods' of strategic planning in distance education. Some of the
issues that we are likely to discuss are:
  -    the impact of economic changes on the role of distance education
  -    the changing student body
  -    the relationship between conventional universities/colleges
        and distance education units/institutions
  -    technology and access
  -    distance education in the work-place: public institutions
        in the private sector
Some of the methods we are likely to discuss are:
  -    different models for strategic planning
  -    doing an environmental scan
  -    SWOT analyses
  -    mission, mandate and vision statements: do they work?
  -    getting 'buy-in' from staff
  -    implementing a plan and dealing with crises
But remember, this is a conference, so participants will be expected
to help choose topics, and provide information, comments and experience.
This is NOT an administrative conference though, so topics such as
financial control and management, human resource development,
management information systems, etc. will need to find another home.
The strategic planning conference should be of interest to those
concerned with policies, such as Deans, Directors of Departments,
Vice-Presidents, Presidents, Vice-Chancellors, and academics
with an interest/responsibility for future directions in their distance
teaching open learning units, and for those who have to provide research
data and information for 'the big guys'.

If you are using Kermit as your transfer protocol, you can press Alt (hold
it down) then the letter K.  A pop-up menu of the Kermit transfer screen
will appear with the choices of 1)Get  2) Send  3) Finish and 4) Logoff.  Do
your uploading or downloading.  When that process has finished, type Alt K
again.  The pop-up menu will reappear.  Type 3 to Finish.

          POSSIBLE INTERNATIONAL CONSULTING OPPORTUNITIES

     Education Development Center, a Boston-based non-profit organization
     with over 30 years of international institution-building, is looking
     to expand our base of qualified consultants for long-term and
     short-term positions internationally in education and human resources.
     U.S. citizenship is *NOT* required.  Most positions require several
     years of international experience plus an advanced degree.  Most
     activities take place in LDCs.  EDC is an Equal Opportunity Employer
     (which is one reason why I am posting this on DEVEL-L -- so that we
     can reach people who otherwise might not know about these potential
     opportunities, particularly people who live outside North America).

     Areas of special interest:

     Education:
          Curriculum Development
          Teacher Training
          Educational Economics
          Educational MIS
          Research and Evaluation
          Education Policy
          School Construction
          Textbooks

     Nutrition/Health:
          Nutrition Planning
          Health Economics
          Food Economics

     Early Childhood Development.

I don't know of one, but if you find one or develop one I would like a
copy to use in surveying students in a Media in Education course.

Subject:      ISTE Independent Study Courses

A message was posted on EDUTECH that listed a number of courses
that are available through the International Society for Technology
in Education.  The message suggested that it was possible to obtain
a master's degree via distance education using these courses.  That
is not correct.  ISTE does not offer a master's degree and these courses
are not organized into a master's degree program.

The corses are patterned after courses that  were used in the Master's
degree program at the University of Oregon (a program that has
now been closed due to budget cuts).  The corses carry credit through
the Oregon State System of Higher Education Office of Independent
Study.

It would be helpful to have a list of LCD panels and projection units that
people have found to work successfully and not so successfully.  I need to
purchase a series of these for our next school year.  I would gladly do
this privately and then publish the list to the group.  If people are
interested, please include the following information:
NAME OF PROJECTION SYSTEM, COMPUTER SYSTEMS SUPPORTED, DISTRIBUTOR, COST,
and SHORT COMMENTS ABOUT THE PLUSES AND MINUSES.
