Distance Education Media Center ?

Q: I am doing a research on the different components that make up a Distance Education Media Center which can be used to produce computerized material for distance education purposes. I appreciate any help on this...Are there similar projects? sites? or what are the components and organizational structure?

A:The Center for Distance Learning Research ( http://www.cdlr.tamu.edu ) located at Texas A&M University may be helpful to you. The Federal Star Schools project has distance ed media centers or faculty assistance centers incorporated into their distance ed grants. We developed such a center in 1995 and use it to prepare multimedia for distance ed and on site class room instruction.
