The program will be offered through the auspices of U. T. Brownsville, which will deliver the first 12 hours of courses. Other academic institutions in the U. T. System are in the process of submitting proposals for delivery of the remaining 27 hours of courses. The program will include all aspects of educational technology, such as the design of instructional materials, the use of multimedia in the classroom, presentation skills, networking, and distance learning. As faculty members across the U. T. System develop the details of the courses for the on-line degree programs, the TeleCampus will provide training, design support, and other assistance. One goal is to design the programs so that students have a wide range of access to faculty.
Students can connect to the conference room at any time and contribute their ideas.
There will also be live chat rooms, in which messages can be exchanged in real time. These can be used for review sessions, for group projects, and similar purposes.
