Today I had meetings at the U.S.Consulate and met the people there who administer Fulbright and other exchange programs.
I plan on leaving early tomorrow for my first day at the Unit for Learning Innovation (Center for Continuing Education) at Birzeit University. We'll be working on professional development, curriculum development, and publication about online learning at Palestinian universities. My technical communication/technical writing background will serve me well.
This morning (February 3) I met in Ramallah with Marwan Tarazi, the head of the CCE. Later I traveled to the campus in Birzeit village where I met the ULI staff and got settled in. Today I have been working on three small projects:
1. Project planning for my four month stay
2. Writing a document for the presentation I will do tomorrow about Desire2Learn
3. Planning for the types of short-courses I will create while I am here.
View photos of the campus and facts and figures.
