A Partnership in Global Learning
The Partnership in Global Learning is a
university/corporate consortium whose mission is to promote international post
secondary teaching and research; K-12 teacher training; and corporate training
in Mexico and Latin America. The PGL partnership includes Avaya Communications,
Lucent Technologies, International Business Machines, and three universities in
Brazil, one in Mexico, and the University of Florida.
In addition to her role in PGL, Dr. Legg is the
Director of the Office of Instructional Resources and the Center for
Instructional Research and Computing Activities at the University of Florida.
These responsibilities include the development of online modules and the
provision for technical support for online instruction. Dr. Leggs range
of interests gives her an in depth understanding of the complex interactions
required for successful implementation of technology in the classroom and in
the corporate world. PGL is the first international consortium of universities
and corporations. Her talk will review the IT and distance education issues
related to this type of international collaboration. It may be a glimpse into
the not too distant future.
