to under promise and over deliver.Our joy is that after two decades of systematically applying the conceptual framework given inFigure 1; we have two counties in our region working together to improve the quality of our K-12education by efficiently and effectively applying distance learning technology. This is asignificant accomplishment because these counties have been competing for more than 20 years.Our next step is to prove our baseline by conducting one or more pilot projects in 2016.References1 Ortiz, T., Holloway, B., Harris, M., Pluckebaum, A. and Jamieson, L.

contingency tracking and resolution.The main objectives of risk monitoring and control phase are to: (a) systematically track theidentified risks and the effectiveness of their associated response and mitigation plan, (b) identifyany new risks, and (c) capture lessons learned for future risk assessment efforts.13It is noteworthy that risk management is not a process that we go through only once, rather it is astructured, consistent, and continuous process across the whole organization studied.14 Suchcontinuation has been illustrated in Figure 1 by using a feedback loop from the risk monitoringand control phase to the risk identification phase.The dynamic society in which we live is full of uncertainties. The component of risk is present inall systems

irrespective of individual course sections and other considerationsdiscussed above, scatter plots and regression lines were plotted and analyzed, results shown inAppendix B. For the entire population, a Pearson r = 0.533 was determined, still exhibiting apositive association. When segmented by delivery method, the correlation coefficients showedFTF = 0.512 and DE = 0.611. These results are in-line with the results of Table 2, anddemonstrate a decreased association attributed to the variances afore mentioned.Table 2.

Recall that these students are allpracticing professionals, with an average of ten years’ professional practice. Accordingly, thejudgment of these students is grounded in substantial workplace experience. They have returnedto graduate studies to fill gaps that their preceding
