Looking To The Future ... Distance Education Issues In Nebraska, Nn21 Distance Education/Outreach Action Team

The Nebraska Network 21 (NN21) Action Team on Distance Education/Outreach has studied a variety of issues related to distance education in order to better serve the people of Nebraska. Distance education has grown rapidly in Nebraska, but is clearly in its infancy. Many important issues still are being identified and are far from understood. The possibilities of distance education are yet to be fully realized. But in a state with a small, spread-out population such as ours -- perhaps in any state -- it would seem that distance education holds great promise for making many forms of education accessible to …

My Work And Welcome To It, Stephen Hillard

Nebraska Network 21: Publications

“I want to go to graduate school in English," said my student Peter, then blurted out, "and be a professor, like you." I bit my lip not to say something deflating--at the end of the semester I didn't feel my life should be anyone's goal. I knew that he pictured the life of a professor as reading interesting books, talking about them with enthusiastic students like himself, doing research one loves, and serving on a few committees. And being paid for doing this! I didn't warn Peter that the scholarly life he aspires to is seen as a scam by …

They also committed themselves to providing assistance to those who have been victims or who still suffer from the effects of landmines. Despite the efforts first made and the declarations of intention, much remains to be done in order that the States can honour their obligations as far as assistance is concerned.

Antidote: Essays Against The Socialist Indian State By Sauvik Chakraverti, New Delhi: Macmillan, 2000., Vivek Moorthy

IIMB Management Review

Sauvik Chakraverti’s colletion of essays is informative and insightful for those who have not read his newspaper column(s) or been otherwise exposed to the broad social applications of free-market ideas (as exemplified in the writings of the late Julian Simon, the Chicago school economist-cum-demographer and in the editorials of the London Economist).

The book comprises ten essays on the following subjects-Population, State, Development, Imperialism, Borders, Morality, Prohibitions, Money, Government and Environment. Many of the ideas he …
