Conversations with… Listing of Conversations By Topic

Interviews featuring:

  • Promising practices.
  • Emerging policy issues.
  • People who challenge our thinking

An old television crime drama always ended with the line:  “There are eight million stories in the Naked City, and this has been one of them.” The steady growth in e-learning, distance learning, and hybrid learning in higher education makes us think that we will soon have more than 8 million tales to tell. While the television stories focused on mystery and mayhem, “Conversations with…” seeks to inform and inspire you. And,who knows, we may find some of our own mystery and mayhem along the way.
