    NUTN Radio is the National University Telecommunications Network's (NUTN)
    popular series of audioconferences on which we talk about current issues in
    online and distance learning. The audioconferences are done in a radio
    talk-show format. We interview a couple of guests, engage them in a
    dialogue, and participants are able to ask questions and join the
    conversation "live on air." The programs are also recorded and made
    available as podcasts (visit http://odeo.com/channel/103276/view for
    previous programs).

    The NUTN Radio host is Jim Woodell, Dean of Academic Technology and
    Distance Learning at North Shore Community College in Massachusetts, and a
    member of the NUTN Advisory Board. Jim has over twenty years of experience
    in distance education and instructional media, having held positions in
    corporate training, public television, educational software development,
    and college teaching and administration. You may write to Jim at
    jwoodell@northshore.edu.
