In January many of you participated in a set of surveys about online learning. We received some excellent feedback, and we thank you for your participation. I'd also like to take this opportunity to announce the two Palm Pilot winners: Laura Sutherland, a graduate student in counseling psychology from Oakland, CA, and Terese Finitzo, PhD, from Dallas, TX.
