University of California is hoping to become the nation's first top-tier research institution to offer a bachelor's degree over the Internet comparable in quality to its prestigious campus program
"Humanities E-Book is a digital collection of nearly 2,800 full-text titles offered by the ACLS in collaboration with twenty learned societies, nearly 100 contributing publishers, and librarians at the University of Michigan's Scholarly Publishing Office. The result is an online, fully searchable collection of high-quality books in the Humanities, recommended and reviewed by scholars and featuring unlimited multi-user access and free, downloadable MARC records. HEB is available 24/7 on- and off-campus through standard web browsers"
"Students moving into a newly renovated dormitory at the University of Kentucky signed up for a hyperwired college experience: Each one was given an iPad and required to take a series of tech-themed courses."
More college students than ever before are demanding online classes as an option when they register for classes -- even traditional students who live on campus.
you know what hits me about this is that we need to consider lowering our sights on the technology that we promote campus wide to faculty and use the peer tutoring method to engage more faculty in the common easy to use technologies. Still work on the emerging tech with the tech savy and work more one-on-one with the biggest chunk of faculty using/exploring other technology. Did I just define 3 levels of engagment with faculty? hhmmmm
