 * Greetings and welcome to my OMDE606 wiki!**

My name is Nancy Smith Wooten. After receiving an A.A. in Paralegal Studies and an A.A. in General Studies "years" ago - I obtained my B.A. in Communications, summa cum laude, from the University of Maryland University College (UMUC) in December 2009. I am now in pursuit of a dual degree - Master of Distance Education + MBA, also at UMUC. My specialty in the MDE program is teaching and training, as I hope to become an online instructor, course designer, trainer - just to name a few possibilities!

Please join me this semester, as I venture through OMDE606 - Costs and Economics of Distance Education and E-Learning. At the end of this course I should have achieve the following objectives:
 * Understand the cost concepts of education
 * Understand Human Capital Theory
 * Identify DE cost drivers
 * Cost educational technologies
 * Examine learner support, netbased learning and web 2.0

Cheers,

Nancy
