Communication among all parties is essential for effective and efficient delivery of courses off-campus. This form initiates scheduling, budgeting, and marketing the off-campus course. The Director of Distance Education will prepare and submit the electronic form to ECE, initiating arrangements for scheduling and marketing the course. You will receive a printed copy to check for accuracy. Estimate the course materials, such as postage, printing and duplicating, specimens, and exam scoring, needed to deliver the course.
Some instructors prefer to originate the class at remote sites during some of the sessions.
Estimate other expenses associated with delivering the course. This could include expenses associated with using resource people, telephone conferencing, etc. This simplifies getting materials to students in a timely manner and reduces the weekly burden of sending materials to students. The course packet could include copies of visuals, assignments, handouts, and selected readings. The quality of visuals delivered at a distance via ICN, or videotape becomes more critical than for on-site instruction because quality diminishes with the equipment used to deliver and receive the images.
