 *  Online Learning in the Pacific Rim: Best Practices for Communication, Collaboration, and Community **

 Due to the remoteness of island populations, the University of Hawaii system has been a leader in distance education for many years. The College of Education received the prestigious 21st Century Best Practices in Distance Learning award from the United States Distance Learning Association in 2007. In this panel, a team of experts involved in distance education from a variety of programs in the Pacific Rim offer advice, tips, and expertise for optimal distance delivery. Time will be set aside during the 1 hour panel for questions and answers from the panel.
