Distance Learning in East Carolina University's Educational Leadership Program Technology has a strong and growing presence in the changing environment in which school leaders function.
Distance learning can serve both ends.
The grant supported training for LEED faculty and the distance delivery of two LEED courses in the fall of 1997. BVTE faculty members developed a five-day workshop to introduce their LEED colleagues to the basic operations of distance education. The content included instructional design, copyright issues, electronic presentation strategies, Internet technologies, Web page design, and the North Carolina Information Highway. In addition, BVTE faculty were available to resolve problems and provide support as teams of LEED professors designed and implemented courses for distance delivery. The instructors attempted, however, to use various technologies to promote active learning.
