Hightower: I got a
degree, actually, in journalism, and so I was doing more video production
work. I started working for IFAS -- the Institute of Food and Agricultural
Sciences -- at the University of Florida. The way our shop is set up, it's
partly educational video production and partly distance education. And I got
started slowly into distance education, and now I do solely distance education.
It was kind of a fluke. It happened by accident. I'm not an academic, by any
means, or an instructional designer by trade. I'm more of a production person
by trade.
