Abstract

In this chapter, the authors present a case study that describes how their campus supports distance learning and teaching. They illustrate how higher education institutions can enhance student and faculty success in online courses through the strategic use of technology. Specifically, the authors describe programs that provide support for distance education students, employ faculty mentors to promote the quality of online courses under development, and utilize electronic portfolios (e-portfolios) to assess student learning outcomes. All of this work takes a technology-centric perspective on online learning in higher education. Using these projects as examples, the authors describe how administrators can provide support for both students and faculty as their institutions implement effective technology-centric strategies.
