Blogging from the DLA conference in Georgia:
DLA Conference - UWG: "DLA symposiums are specifically designed for those involved or interested in the administration, management, planning, and evaluation of distance learning programs."
Interesting Sessions....
Chris Cook's V-Brick session on how his company has evolved from point to point video appliances to a web-based service and product combination. www.vbrick.com
Ken Pisel's military background made for an interesting presentation on the required orderliness of strategic planning. His ingredients/recipe/chef analogy makes some sense. Anyone can collect ingredients...some people can follow recipes, but chefs master both by experience.
Melanie Clay's discussion of the new e-tuition policies at UWG. Really just distance learning fees, but the fee split and planning process discussion hit home.
Justin Johansen and colleagues led a small, but spirited and thorough discussion of the BYU indepedent studies, self-supporting fee structures and how it was achieved in the overall context of academic department needs and demands. Not applicable to most public universities but the overall formulas BYU came up with for splitting the development and delivery of courses is instructive.
Also of interest...Decade Consulting's updated course evaluation product for evaluating academic courses.
