The area is staffed to provide for the needs of distance learning students and faculty. Campus-wide impact can be anticipated and plans can be put into place to meet identified needs. The Center for Distance Learning is staffed with two PSA support staff and work-study students. This is particularly advantageous for adjunct faculty. The program was implemented in the Spring 1998 semester with 77 sections and an enrollment of 1,514 students.
Enrollment continues to grow each term.
In Fall semester 1999, there were 115 sections with an enrollment of 1,765 students. These figures clearly indicate added value to the institution. The program provides students with a variety of learning alternatives which also adds value to the institution. The program is managed by a team of faculty members who are representative of each of the learning alternatives. This model supports and maintains an instructional focus.
