This collection of 13 articles contains the reflections of experienced course developers on a particular course that illustrates the process of constructing flagship distance education programs.

Two chapters in section 1 address the role of the educational developer: "The Role of the Educational Developer--Present and Future" (Michael Parer) and "Distance Education and Conceptual Learning" (John Sparkes). Section 2 on the educational developer in action contains eight chapters: "Swapping Hats in the Mud: Instructional Designer Turns Subject Specialist" (Noel Jackling); "A Tale from the Mud" (David Murphy, Gail Taylor); "Amber Waves of Grain" (Karen Murphy, Debi Rogers); "Course Development without Instructional Design" (Daryl Nation, Rob Walker); "Materials Production through 'On the Job' Training: A Case Study" (Fred Lockwood); "Creating a Course on Research in Distance Education" (Terry Evans, Ted Nunan); "Preparing History Courses at a Distance" (Alvin Finkel); and "The Virtual Laboratory: A Comic Book Approach to Teaching Laboratory Skills at a Distance" (Alistair Inglis).
