Moravec presents in Ecuador

John Moravec, coordinator of innovation and integrated technology for credit and non-credit systems in the Preparation to Practice Group, recently returned from Ecuador where he participated in a conference hosted at the Faculty of Latin American Social Sciences (FLACSO) and delivered two invited lectures.

On Monday, Dr. Cristóbal Cobo and Moravec visited the Universidad San Francisco de Quito, and presented to a group of about 150 students and faculty. Cobo discussed his new book, Planeta Web 2.0, and Moravec followed-up with a presentation on the collaboration between the University of Minnesota and FLACSO. On Tuesday, at the FLACSO 50th Anniversary conference, Moravec discussed the co-seminar conducted by himself and Associate Professor Arthur Harkins at the University of Minnesota, in cooperation with FLACSO-México (lead by Dr. Cobo). On Wednesday Cobo and Moravec delivered a lecture to students at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL) in Southern Ecuador. The school has 23,000 students, of which 20,000 are distance learners.
