The Purdue Calumet Distance Education Award is intended to provide the release time and resources for PUC faculty members to develop a high quality distance-learning course. Faculty members selected for an award receive a release from teaching one course in order to work with other faculty and staff in the development of an online or hybrid course, which meets the Quality Matters™ standards for online courses. Faculty will attend workshops, participate in live and online discussions, and receive a certificate that is testimony to their expertise in designing and teaching such courses. The overall program goal is to foster the development of high quality distance-learning courses at PUC by integrating systematic instructional design, the application of research-based instructional methods, and Internet communication technologies.
Sponsors:
