Distance Education at Degree-Granting Postsecondary Institutions: 2000-2001
| Title: | Distance Education at Degree-Granting Postsecondary Institutions: 2000-2001 (ID: CSD2917) | | Origin: | Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2003) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports, Government Documents, Laws, Testimonies or Reports | | Abstract: | This report presents data on distance education at postsecondary institutions. NCES used the Postsecondary Education Quick Information System (PEQIS) to provide current national estimates on distance education at 2-year and 4-year Title IV-eligible, degree-granting institutions. Distance education was defined for this study as education or training courses delivered to remote (off-campus) sites via audio, video (live or prerecorded), or computer technologies, including both synchronous (i.e., simultaneous) and asynchronous (i.e., not simultaneous) instruction. Data were collected on a variety of topics related to distance education, including the number and proportion of institutions offering distance education courses during the 2000–2001 12-month academic year, distance education enrollments and course offerings, distance education degree and certificate programs, distance education technologies, participation in distance education consortia, accommodations in distance education courses for students with disabilities, distance education program goals, and factors that keep institutions from starting or expanding distance education offerings. | | View this resource: | |

| Title: | Distance Education Instruction by Postsecondary Faculty and Staff: Fall 1998 (ID: CSD1718) | | Source: | MPR Associates | | Origin: | Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2002) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports, Government Documents, Laws, Testimonies or Reports | | Abstract: | Using the 1999 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty, this report examines who, among postsecondary faculty and staff, were more likely to teach various types of distance education classes. It also explores how those who taught such classes differed from those who did not in terms of workload, compensation, interaction with students, classroom practices, and job satisfaction. Overall, those who taught distance classes had a higher workload than those who did not. They were also more likely to communicate with their students by e-mail and to use Web sites for their classes. | | View this resource: | |
