MIKE WENDLAND: Tech guru retiring, but e-learning just beginning - Detroit Free Press
This morning, Katherine Willis woke up for the first time in six years not having to log onto the Net and ponder deep thoughts about the state of technology in Michigan.... Willis, 56, has led Cyber-state since its start in 1998 with a soft-spoken but big-vision style, urging tech leaders in Michigan to broaden their vocabulary beyond IT -- information technology. She says we should be talking instead about ICT -- information and communications technology.... Willis has one major disappointment. She believes the state's educational system and its flagship research institutions -- like the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Wayne State University -- are "stuck in an old methodology still focused on traditional degree and certification patterns." She believes more long-distance teaching and e-learning is needed.
