Through her involvement in UCLA Extension's pioneering Online Teaching Program she also trained educators from all over the world to teach online.

As Director of Online Curriculum and Instructor Development at OnlineLearning.net and later as Vice President, Online Program Design with Sylvan Online Higher Education, she has been a leader in the design of customized faculty training and support programs as well as the establishment of systems and quality standards for the development of online courses.

Steve Rossen has been working with instructors using technology in the classroom and on the Web since 1994. After earning an M.Ed in Educational Technology from California State University, he went on to manage UCLA's Faculty New Media Center, a center/lab where instructors and TAs experiment with, train with, and use new media technologies. He brings to this field experience gained from working in both the broadcast and publishing industries as a writer/producer and novelist.

He has been an online instructor for over five years at UCLA Extension, where he created two innovative courses for the Online Teaching Program: ""Creating and Using Multimedia Online"" and ""Streaming Media.""
