The 2001 Fall Institute for Technology Enhanced Teaching and Learning was held on the
Penn State University Park Campus and consisted of a six-week program of study from
September 30 to November 9. The Division of Continuing Education, in collaboration with the
College of Education at Penn State University, the Consorcio Red de Educación a Distancia,
(CREAD) and with support from the Office of International Programs, offered the six-week noncredit
Technology Institute for twenty-one Chilean primary teachers as part of a grant from the
Chilean Ministry of Education.
The Institute serves as an innovative model for international outreach, providing an example
of how Continuing educators can forge partnerships to offer programming in a bilingual format.
In a paper prepared during the Institute, a National Supervisor of the Chilean Ministry of
Education and group coordinator, wrote, “I feel that Chile has extended its borders. The barriers
have disappeared, and we are all united for the same flag – education. Educate everybody!”
