Editor's Note: Listservs provide an abundance of useful information for producers and consumers of distance learning. This information on "Student Perspectives" was recommended by Calli Shelton on Mon, 18 Feb 2002 on the DEOS Listserv. These resources provide insight and dimension to each side of the distance learning triangle - students, teachers, and designers.
