Jerry Kellogg, M.A., oversees the Office of Online Learning and Training for Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California. With 25 years of international experience in the development of distance education programs for health professionals, Mr. Kellogg was a logical choice for co-author of Module 4B, Distance Learning. Mr. Kellogg's background in instructional design, adult education and online learning also made him ideally suited for the role of senior instructional designer on the Education Scholar project.

Between 1982 and 1984, Mr. Kellogg was instrumental in developing the self-paced curriculum for baccalaureate and master's students enrolled in the California State University's Statewide Nursing Program. In 1985, he had the opportunity to share this experience with the Nursing Board of the Republic of Ireland, and between 1990 and 1993, trained health care personnel to set up their own distance education programs in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and South Africa. As president of his own educational consulting firm, Creative Edge, Mr. Kellogg has developed literally hundreds of decentralized courses using print, video, and computer-based technologies.
