2. Movement into Distance Education
1994 – moved to compressed video for several programs (MS in Clinical Nutrition, BS Clinical Labs, AAS Allied Dental)
1997 – moved to on-line (BS in Health Sciences and MS in Health Systems)
2000s – added Class Capture, Audience Response
fully on-line programs, extensive use of blended classes
UMDNJ – School of Health Related Professions

3. Why we moved in these direction
Initial funding by University technology group
Small group of willing faculty to adapt early
Ability to be more statewide
Practitioner need for flexible hours
Insufficient number of students locally for advanced practice programs
Note: Needed library to become a virtual library quickly
UMDNJ - School of Health Related Professions

4. Distance Education Design
Faculty facilitated classes with intense online discussion and activities with 10 to 30 students, after 20 generally a TA
Promote the use of interprofessional groups Predominantly asynchronous supplemented with videoconferencing synchronously
Some on-site classes or presentations for some,
Some clinicals
goal: test some larger classes, up to 65
Design flexible for best learning

5. The conversion
Paid faculty to develop the courses, the price of normally teaching the course and then paid to teach
Continue to pay for first time conversion of course as teaching workload (4 credits for 3 credit course) and curriculum committee approval
Why? Enhanced quality and university ownership
