Abstract

A university in the southwestern part of the United States has developed an innovative approach to online, web-based distance learning. The program is innovative in both its philosophy and its approach to web-based course delivery. The innovative philosophy is one of seamless technology integration where all students are seen simply as students of the university with no distinction being made in anyway between students who receive course delivery online or through traditional means. The program also follows an innovative approach to course development and delivery. All faculty who teach online must go through a 25 hour training program prior to delivering their first course. The technical portion of the program is innovative with the in-house development of the course delivery software. Many models for online course delivery see the course content and the delivery container as being independent of one another. However, the model used for this program sees the relationship between the content and the container as being reciprocal. In this model, faculty may choose many different instructional methods and designs to structure their content. Then the content and design is matched to the most appropriate technology for course delivery. Individuals attending this session will have the opportunity to see at least one method for delivering degree programs online. Attendees will be given an overview of how this program used the principles of seamless technology integration to build a program that represents and includes all areas of the campus community.
