E-Learning Strategies at a University Level: More Than Just IT

Frequently we think of e-learning as either a distance learning or an IT strategy. However, a university-wide strategic plan is important to ensure all stakeholders and aspects are considered. At the University of Cincinnati, the e-learning strategic plan was developed by a collaborative team consisting of faculty, instructional designers from different colleges and campuses, the Center for Enhancement of Teaching and Learning, and the Center for Excellence in eLearning. We will discuss why each of these areas is critical to university success and our approach to developing a robust and collaborative plan.

OUTCOMES: Identify strategic partners for e-learning * Analyze key research to support e-learning * Identify major areas required for a robust strategic plan
