Institutionalizing Distance Learning on a Traditional Campus

Six years ago this traditional campus made distance learning an institutional priority. This required significant strategic planning, change management investment, and support from the top down and bottom up. It was critical to develop a systemic conceptual framework that included alignment to the institution’s mission, quality curriculum, faculty and student support, and continuous improvement. Planning and implementation of these areas, along with continuous data collection, analysis, and reporting, has led to a very successful online campus that today represents 26% of all enrollments.
