visiting from Russian Far East in Distance Learning techniques and technologies.
Participants came from Vladivostok
State University of Economics , Far Eastern State

University of Economics and Management ( Vladivostok

from the trip.
In four separate volunteer assignments
in 1995 - 1998, I represented Edmonds Community College to Khabarovsk State Academy of Economics and Law,
Far Eastern State Transportation University, and Yakutsk National Gymnasium. These
trips were sponsored by Citizens Democracy
Corps , Washington, D. C. My assignments included lectures to faculty, students
and professional accountants on development and implementation of International
Accounting Standards in Russia. I also led seminars on outcomes assessment,
abilities-based education and business curriculum structure.
