USF-St.Petersburg launches autism course for distance learners - Tampa Bay Buisness Journal
The University of South Florida St. Petersburg is offering a pilot course on autism that will enable students to take classes anytime, anywhere. V. Mark Durand, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, received nearly $900,000 in grant money in Sept. 2004 to investigate the best ways for parents to help their autistic children. He converted his autism course to Windows Media Video files. Using the hand-held Creative Zen Portable Media Center, students can watch the lessons regardless of their location.
