Plans for the future • Expand existing programs and initiate new ones • All departments participating • Both M. Eng and certificate programs • Initiate distance delivery options (PPT, video, web, E-mail discussion) • College of Continuing Studies (CCS) • Institute of Teaching and Learning (ITL) • So. E technical support staff • Create incentive structure for program/faculty participation • Teaching load policies and financial incentives for course development and/or re-offerings • Negotiate institutional revenue-sharing structure (University, So. E, Departments, Instructors) 9

Distance delivery options • Synchronous and asynchronous distance delivery of material (PPT charts, video, E-mail chats or VISTA) • Mixed-mode delivery: primarily distance delivery and occasional (once every three weeks) on-site delivery for select nearby locations (P&W, GD-EB, UT-Power) • Some courses offered as distance learning, some others on-site delivery 10
