Subject: Chat reminder -- Thursday, Jan. 11 -- Global Learn Day,
     distance ed, and online collaboration with guest John Hibbs


*** BUSINESS ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB

Please join us this Thursday, Jan. 11 to chat with John Hibbs about
online collaboration and distance education He would "like to share some
amazing stuff we learned during Global Learn Day." This is a followup to
a session we held in Nov. with Sean Chamberlin.

 John is Director of the Benjamin Franklin Institute of Global Education,
in San Diego. The Institute has two missions:

· to entice motivated college graduates to go abroad, mostly to teach
English, the outcome of which is a "transcendent experience" (for info
try - champions@bfranklin.edu)

· to hold Global Learn Day, a 24-hour webcast in 24 time zones featuring
the best and brightest in distance education, Internet technology and job
opportunity. (They just held our Fourth and are on pace to make it the
"Academy Awards of Education".)
