"The Online Teaching Guide was developed by faculty members from the Duke University School of Nursing (DUSON) under the guidance of the Duke Center for Instructional Technology (CIT). The work of this group culminated in this resource for faculty members who want to enhance their ability to plan effective online learning experiences for students. This guide serves as a user-friendly and practical tool to assist faculty in planning and implementing online courses."

This is an interesting site. It does appear that NC State has placed a strong emphasis on supporting distance education as well as finanical supporet to the faculty within their institution.

Attached is a document from Faculty Focus on teaching with technology. These documents are collections of short pieces on the particular topic … and Faculty Focus has LOADS of topics. You can find that list of topics at http://www.facultyfocus.com/free-reports/. All reports are free, but in order to download them, you have to register (i.e., enter your e-mail address and create a password). Once you register, you will get regular announcements from Faculty Focus when new reports come out. Sometimes the e-mails are about reports you've already been notified of, but most of the time it's new stuff. Well, now that you know about this great resource, I will assume that those of you who are interested will register and get your own announcements. I, therefore, will not be cluttering up your Inbox with any more of these things … though you can expect notices when other kinds of things come out that might be of interest to you. Theresa M.
