“I was a kid when I did my first video conference. In a pavilion at the 1964 Worlds Fair in Flushing, NY, I sat with my parents as we used a video phone to a booth 100 feet away where my brother was sitting. We all thought that video phones were just a year away. Here is a photo of that videophone: http://tinyurl.com/ydzxl9v  (Note, that is not me in the picture —- but it could have been in appearance and moment!)”

Over his 40 year career, he helped introduce the term e-Learning, worked with Microsoft and Apple on early video for learning models, served on teleconferencing research committees and has been an advocate for leveraging live and on-demand video for a wide range of learning models.  In fact, every day he is on video chat with colleagues around the world – as part of the global involvement of The MASIE Center.
