Virtual Get-together via VideoconferencingTopic: Research in Designing Successful Distance Education in Higher EducationThursday, April 5, 2001
This session will present the results of a research study completed in Spring, 2000, that examined the challenges facing higher educational institutions in migrating to distance learning. The study consisted of five case studies conducted at higher educational institutions in Pennsylvania. At each institution, the researcher interviewed the president and other senior administrators, and conducted a group interview with administrators and key faculty involved in distance education. Participants reviewed and analyzed a comprehensive model developed by the researcher for applying principles of organizational agility to distance learning. About the Presenters: Dr. Stephen L.
