The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) invites submissions for authorship in the Knowledge Series, an annual sequence of single-subject, start-up guides on topics in distance education practice and delivery for practitioners. (www.col.org/knowledge <http://www.col.org/knowledge>)
Potential topics included in the open call for submissions, 2002:

* Institutional collaboration in distance education development and delivery
* Open and distance learning policy development (particular reference to dual-mode institutions)
The recommended length per guide is 3,000-4,000 words. A standard honorarium is offered for all authorship contracts. COL retains copyright of the final published product; authors are credited and retain moral rights. The Knowledge Series is freely available for non-commercial use, with credit to both the author and to COL.
Writer's guidelines are available on request from series editor Grace Chin (gc@telus.net <mailto:gc@telus.net>). Potential authors are asked to select no more than one topic for submission. A basic outline of approach to the chosen topic, as well as a schedule proposal for first, second and final draft submissions, is requested by June 07, 2002. COL is most interested in receiving final drafts by the end of September 2002, at the latest. Previously published titles can be referenced from www.col.org/knowledge <http://www.col.org/knowledge>.
