Benefits of Collaboration Collaboration for mutual benefits is strongly encouraged. Institutions are expected to describe whether collaborating with other institutions is feasible. Regardless of whether collaboration is part of the proposed program, if an institution proposes to deliver a program that is already offered in the state, i.e., already exists in the official CBHE program inventory, the proposing institution should include its rationale for collaborating or for moving forward alone. The possibility of contractual and cost-sharing arrangements among institutions within and across sectors should be given consideration.

Distance-Based and Off-Site Programs Technology continues to have a major impact on the number of alternatives open to institutions in the design and delivery of academic programs. Proposals for distance-learning programs should be in alignment with the board's Principles of Good Practice for Distance Learning/Web-based Courses. In the case of proposals for off-site delivery, proposing institutions should work collaboratively by building on the inventory of available coursework within the locale and by utilizing the human resources and facilities of local providers to thereby reduce the costs associated with establishing new delivery sites.

Partnerships Iowa State continuing educators have recognized the opportunities for developing education in partnership with other institutions and businesses. For example, Iowa State is a participant in the Great Plains Interactive Distance Education Alliance (GPIDEA), currently providing degree programs in Family Financial Planning and Gerontology in partnership with 10 other universities. This partnership has become a model for other University departments who are exploring alliances for joint development of programs. The Iowa Regents institutions also partner in providing continuing education content for programs like the dual degree program that culminates in a master’s in engineering from Iowa State and an MBS from the University of Iowa. The institutions maintain a shared distance education web site. The Regent’s Distance Education Strategic Plan emphasizes cooperation in marketing, administration, content development, and technical support for programs delivered by the institutions it governs.

The missions of the College of Engineering are to: Offer quality undergraduate programs that stress the fundamentals of engineering and its practice. Prepare graduates for an engineering career, advanced studies, or other professional paths. Provide quality graduate programs for students seeking strong research experiences in preparation for a professional, academic, or research career; as well as quality flexible graduate programs for students seeking professional enhancement. Pursue basic and applied research to generate new knowledge and create technical solutions to society's challenges. Serve the broader educational and professional engineering community. Vision: Excelling as a national leader in engineering education and research. Strategic Goals of the College of Engineering: 6. Pursue targeted areas of opportunity for the college. As an engineering college that is increasing its national visibility, we can have the greatest impact by focusing our limited faculty and funding resources in selected niche areas that exploit our current or potential strengths and have a significant impact on the nation. Benchmarks by 2012: Identify two or more areas of opportunity and obtain greater than $1M in research funds and/or establish academic offerings in those areas. Strategies include: Hold a series of summits at TTU over the next two years in areas of significant national importance. Invite speakers/panelists that include politicians, funding agency representatives, National Academy members, technical experts, and others to share their view of research and workforce needs in these areas. Identify topical areas for summits through a faculty proposal process coordinated by the Strategic Directions Committee. Start with a summit in the area of energy. Elucidate niche areas of opportunity by assessing the synergy that results between national needs and faculty interests. Invest in the resulting areas of opportunity t

Development of Distance Education Programs within UNL Four-Year Strategic Plan 2004 - 0 views
-
Excerpts Include: Introduction: UNL will continue to build on areas of academic strengths. For many of the degree programs expanded markets are the only way UNL can offer distance education programs to citizens of the state. The greatest growth opportunities are with non-thesis masters programs and graduate certificate programs. Principal Academic Emphasis: The goal is for faculty, departments and administrators to treat distance education responsibilities as part of their normal workload and not as an extra, or adjunct, responsibility, thus allowing UNL to be a stronger and more responsive university. 1. Develop distance education graduate degree and certificate programs for professionals in fields of UNL's special expertise. 2. Develop modules with specific learning outcomes to be used in credit and non-credit programs. When evaluating new distance education degree and certificate programs the following guiding principles will be used: 3. Develop courses, sets of courses or certificates in undergraduate professional programs, i.e. Journalism and Agriculture. 4. Explore the application of instructional technology to support learning of distance education and on-campus students. When evaluating new distance education degree and certificate programs the following guiding principles will be used: 7. Are there collaborative partnerships that expand resources by building relationships with other colleges and universities within the state, region or nation?
-
Response to Need and Demand: Most of the growth will occur in masters degree programs that have excess capacity and new degree and certificate programs that will be developed in the next four years. To increase enrollments will require aggressive target marketing of individual programs within Nebraska, the nation and the world. Targeting Nebraska alumni living outside the state is an important target audience for some distance education programs. The greatest potential for graduate student growth will be the out-of-state market. Funding Support for Distance Education: In July 2003, the NU Presidents Council adopted a policy giving the chancellors authority to set out-of-state tuition for distance education students at a higher rate than the in-state tuition. This tuition differential (difference between the in-state tuition and out-of-state distance education tuition) is returned to the campus and funds are used to support distance education programs.
