Adena, Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed reply. I greatly appreciate your expression of how you came to the course and I hope I can add something to your already broad knowledge base of distance education. Ironically, you and I are DeVry Alums, I was VP & Chief Academic Officer for DeVry Inc. for 14 years. During my tenure there, I was pushing for entry into distance education, but my vision and that of some executives didn't match; things are quite different now. I'll look forward to assisting you in any way I can as you move through the course. Dr. Robert Roehrich
