Summer Session in Chicago is a new campus initiative to serve the educational needs of UIUC undergraduates and other students who live in the Chicago metropolitan area during the summer. Summer '01 marks the first year of this experimental program. The courses offered are the same courses as offered on the Urbana campus and following Term I or Term II schedules, in general. In distance learning where teachers and students are separated from one another, quality instruction requires specialized systems for content development, instructional delivery, and student and faculty support. Our staff of instructional designers, multimedia specialists, web developers, programmers, and other support specialists assist faculty in developing and offering courses and programs to off-campus students via a variety of delivery systems.
