Description
As part of a project to investigate cultural significance in the field of distance learning through communication with international experts, I interviewed Peter Mortimer, a British national living in France working as a project manager for the French Governmental Institute for Distance Education (CNED). CNED (http://www.cned.fr/) was founded in 1939. It is the prestigious, leading supplier of distance learning courses in France, Europe, and the greater French-speaking world. With 300,000 student enrollments in 500 courses composed of 3,000 modules, the Institute is a counterpart to the Open University (UK) (http://www.open.ac.uk) in the English-speaking world. Mortimer is a professional training expert graduating from the University of London with a master's degree in distance education. He is also a specialist in creative media use. My main interests for this interview focused on his professional development in Europe, his views on distance learning design, and his experience in a research project adapting the use of distance education in prisons as part of a large European Union supported project.
