Several other courses are web-enhanced, which means that the class combines one to several online exercises with regular class meetings or reduced seat time. It is anticipated that over 1100 students will enroll in online courses next year. The Communication Studies and Accountancy Departments have taken the lead in online course development and are offering the largest number of online courses. Communication Studies will deliver eight online courses and Accountancy will offer five courses during the 1999-2000 academic year. If you are interested in developing a course for televised instruction or online delivery, please contact Rose Leigh Vines, Director of Distance and Distributed Education, at x87948.
Workshops are available to help faculty in both televised and online course development.
During the one-hour sessions, participants will have an opportunity to learn about the various distance and distributed technologies, methodologies, and support services that are available. Specific topics include WebCT, instructional design, audio and video conferencing, and visual imagery support. A special feature of each workshop will be an unsolicited testimonial by CSUS faculty with teaching experience via distance and distributed education. Watch the University Bulletin for dates and times of these monthly, information-packed sessions. The equipment is available to faculty, staff, and students for classroom use and short class projects.
