This session highlighted some of the ways that technology can be
used to enhance the process of academic advising, support academic
advisers, and provide programs and services to distance students.
All academic advisers, including those who are not involved in distance
education, should find this session informative and practical. Participation
in the session will not require an in-depth knowledge of the mechanics
of technology. Rather, emphasis was placed on demonstrating
a variety of relevant Web sites, including several award-winning
sites, as well as on examples of, suggestions for, and discussion
of the effective use of e-mail, listservs, chat rooms, and related
technologies.
Mike Leonard has been involved in academic advising since 1979,
when he earned a master's degree in educational psychology from

for the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) as well
as the commission's Webmaster and co-moderator of its listserv.
He has presented technology- and advising-related sessions and workshops
at national and regional conferences, including NACADA, the First-Year
Experience, and the Association of General and Liberal Studies.
