  • Information to Users
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from le ft to right in equal sections w ith a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Conference, Symposium, and Panel Reports
    Conference, Symposium, and Panel Reports The AMSS (UK) Fifth Annual Conference: Fiqh Today: Muslims as Minorities Traditional fiqh is facing a new challenge: formulating a suitable fiqh for minority Muslim communities. In this spirit, the Association of Muslim Social Scientists (AMSS [UK]) in conjunction with the International Institute of Islamic Thought, The Muslim College, and Q-News Media, convened its fifth annual conference, “Fiqh Today: Muslims as Minorities,” at the University of Westminster (London) during February 21-22, 2004. Anas Al-Shaikh-Ali, AMSS (UK) Executive Committee Chair, set out the vision in his opening remarks: A genuine fiqh for minority Muslims requires a collective engagement between social scientists and Shari`ah scholars “in the wider public arena.” He challenged participants to work for a “comprehensive methodology of minority fiqh” drawing on the past, but not being afraid to be innovative. Keynote speaker Mustafa Ceric, Grand Mufti of Bosnia-Herzegovina, maintained that while he did not believe in a minority fiqh per se, he readi- ly accepted the position that Muslims living as political minorities often are better able to fulfill their religious obligations than Muslims elsewhere. He posited a vision of Muslims in Europe that recognized their unique historic position and contribution to Europe, which he sees as a place of interaction rather than of confrontation. After discussing the interdependence of cultures and the need for balance and tolerance, he considered present diagnoses of the intellectual pathologies of Muslim and European societies and concluded by challenging Muslim minorities to see themselves as driving Islam’s civi- lizational wheel. He also called on Europe to institutionalize Islam and for Muslims in Europe to come together within a universal worldview.

  • Anastasios Christodoulou
    Anastasios Christodoulou Brilliant administrator and founding father of the Open University Richard Bourne The Guardian, Tuesday 28 May 2002 10.20 BST Three people turned the idea for a "university of the air" into the reality of the Open University, one of the most exciting educational innovations in the second half of the 20th century. They were Harold Wilson's arts minister Jennie Lee, Walter Perry, the OU's first vice-chancellor, and Anastasios "Chris" Christodoulou, its first secretary, who has died aged 70. From 1963 to 1968, Chris had been assistant secretary at Leeds University. The following year, he transferred to the OU headquarters at Walton Hall, an old house in the heart of the new town of Milton Keynes. The "university of the air" had been proposed by Harold Wilson in 1963 and, during his Labour governments of 1964-70, he promoted the idea as a massive extension of second-chance educational opportunity, mixing broadcasting, correspondence and tutors, with new material prepared by teams of academics. The project attracted support from a clutch of radicals, such as the Marxist English scholar Arnold Kettle and the biologist Steven Rose, while being shot at by the likes of educationalist Brian Jackson for being too traditionalist and not doing enough for the working class. It also drew visceral hatred from some Conservatives, who saw it as a Wilsonian gimmick. William van Straubenzee, junior minister for higher education in Edward Heath's 1970-74 Conservative government, told me, "I would have slit its throat if I could." He blamed the outgoing Labour education minister Ted Short for some nifty, last-moment work with the charter that made the OU unkillable.

WEDEMEYER AND THE EVOLUTION OF OPEN AND DISTANCE EDUCATION A Dissertation in Adult Education by William C. Diehl 2011 William C. Diehl Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2011 ii The dissertation of William C. Diehl was reviewed and approved* by the following: Michael G. Moore Distinguished Professor of Education Dissertation Advisor Co-Chair of Committee Gary W. Kuhne Associate Professor of Education Co-Professor-in-charge Graduate Programs in Adult Education Co-Chair of Committee Melody M. Thompson Associate Professor of Education Lawrence C. Ragan Assistant Affiliate Professor of Agricultural and Extension Education *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Charles A. Wedemeyer (1911-1999) was one of the first to develop theory for, and to give direction to, the growing and newly professionalized field which has become known as open and distance education. Through his leadership at influential institutions such as The University of Wisconsin, The National University Extension Association, and the International Council for Open and Distance Education, he developed a global network of colleagues and collaborators. His views on open education, Independent Study and Independent Learning became renown worldwide. Wedemeyer put theory into practice through the creation of the ground-breaking experimental Articulated Instructional Media (AIM) program at the University of Wisconsin, and as the First Kellogg Fellow at Oxford University and consultant during the formative years at the Open University of the United Kingdom, he imparted the concepts of a revolutionary pedagogical approach based on system theory which combined various technologies and media in distance education.
