Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Using "Co-Opetition" in Developing Online Courses for Colleges and Universities (ID: EDU03165)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2003)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Colleges and universities interested in offering online courses are finding the costs of entering the market for online learning to be quite high.

Innovations in Online Learning: Moving Beyond No Significant Difference

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Innovations in Online Learning: Moving Beyond No Significant Difference (ID: EDU0206)
Author(s):Carol A. Twigg
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2002)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Colleges and universities are offering thousands of fully online courses, ostensibly altering centuries-old methods of teaching and learning. Few of these courses, however, make significant improvements in either the cost or quality dimensions of student learning; instead, they frequently replicate face-to-face pedagogies and organizational frameworks. Are you taking advantage of IT's capabilities as you design new learning environments, or are you simply migrating your on-ground approaches online? Using examples drawn primarily from the Pew Grant Program in Course Redesign, this presentation will discuss how IT can be used to surpass traditional modes of instruction.

Author(s):Susan Bsharah (BearingPoint, Inc.)
Source:KPMG Consulting, Inc.
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2001)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Due to the unique requirements of higher education institutions, including fund accounting, supplier diversity, and the management of grants and contracts, the traditional saving initiatives used in the private sector are not viewed as an acceptable means to reducing costs and increasing ROI in the public sector. This presentation will discuss eProcurement strategies, implementation considerations and ROI measurements that best meet distinctive requirements of higher education institutions.
