  4. UK trip in March • Five schools in three days: Steve Mills, David Law, Susan Tatiner, Moira Patterson • Breadth of engagement with standards • From Strathclyde’s impressive, embedded, hybrid program • To Imperial College’s open, embracing attitude: Show us how • Where the school stands on the practical-analytical continuum is key • Case studies were a popular potential offering (as they were in India) • Video lectures got a mixed review • And new ideas emerged about readability issues, assessment help for professors, and internships

  5. Activities remaining • Visit additional U.S. universities (Spring 2011) • California trip? UC, Berkeley; Santa Clara U; San Jose State U • Elsewhere? Recommendations? Contacts? • Analyze data (Summer 2011) • Opportunities to present findings (Summer 2011) • Annual ICES (International Cooperation for Education about Standards) conference in Hangzhou, China, in late June • CNIS (China National Institute of Standards) conference in Beijing, China, immediately after • Complete report (Fall 2011) • Develop business plan to help guide our work (Winter 2011)
