I have two degrees in fashion design. My last degree is from Syracuse University in NY. I am starting a ED.D. in on-line teaching. I am doing this to teach people fashion design and education on-line. Also, I would like to be employed at a University. Presently, I teach in South Korea, I am an American.

I am sure they can work with the SUNY Research Foundation here at Buffalo State to arrange to use the BSC island for the SUNY virtual workshops. When I attended the Project LIVE at Monroe Community College last Friday - a representative from the SLN asked specifically for advice on how to proceed from here. They seemed to want very much to support active involvement in Sl from SUNY faculty. I plan on posting materials and audio/videos for anyone to use in their classes but as I said before - first hand experience is critical to fully understanding the potential of the environment.

What do you think?
