Why Online Education?

| Online
Education |
Being mobile means not only anywhere, anytime
accessibility to the hardware but ready accessibility to information and
resources, distance learning and promoting collaboration and sharing. As
part of the M3 mobility activities, we are promoting online education and
distance learning and are currently engaged in several
pursuits.
|
|
The use of
Blackboard, an
e-education course management system, has skyrocketed from a small handful
of courses to scores of courses in all COE departments, as well as Liberal
and Fine Arts. The range of use has also changed dramatically from posting
assignments online to fully web-enhanced communications.
Project M3 supports
Get Online,
the university's online faculty resource portal, to provide information and faculty
development opportunities in the area of online education.

WSU is a participant in
Internet2, the high-speed
"Internet of the future," a university-led consortium to deploy advanced
network applications and technologies. Project M3 was recently awarded a grant for
Internet2=Exploring Different Dimensions. This project will explore
the potentials of videoconferencing in collaboration with MIT.

Connected University helps solve the
problem of delivering meaningful professional development to busy educators.
Project M3 is participating with USD 259's Connected University program to
provide online courses, how-tos, and software tutorials to faculty, teachers
and pre-service students.
|
 |
A mobility goal of Project M3 is to establish a
pilot online class for dual credit from WSU and USD 259. The rollout of
English 101, team taught by Rob Compton from North High School and Karen
Burge of WSU's Writing Program, is slated for Fall 2002.

As part of its commitment to online education,
Project M3 strives to provide constructive examples. Many of the M3
coursework, resources, projects,
workshops and
presentations can be
accessed on the web. A short list includes
TIPS,
Robotics in the Classroom,
Integration Assistant, and
Language Arts Case Studies. |
