About this Course
Research into the costs of distance courses revels that a key strategy for improving both “the bottom line” and teaching effectiveness is “un-bundling” faculty duties: using teaching assistants, graders, discussion leaders, IT personnel etc. This program will show how this practice works for distance courses.
Topics:
• Innovative course management approach for distance teaching and learning
• Implementing courses using faculty as a member of a team, instead of as a “sole provider” of course information and instruction
• The primary role technology can play in designing a course in which faculty duties are un-bundled
• Options for staffing of distance courses to increase cost savings, while improving student retention and performance
