Charge
The Provost convened the Working Group on Distance Learning in July 2009 and charged the members to inventory existing and potential distance learning activities on campus, to analyze the administrative, technical and human resources needed to support such efforts, and to propose a business model(s) for moving forward by the end of the fall term.This work would be preparatory to a larger effort to expand, coordinate and set standards for the appropriate use of distance learning in both academic and non-academic programs.
