Recommendations • Delivered Preliminary Report containing: • E-Learning Vision • E-Learning Definition • Institutional E-Learning Goals • Institutional Recommendations • Specific recommendations in 7 specific areas (Pedagogy, Curriculum Development, Use of Hardware and Software Tools, Faculty Support, Other Providers, Marketing, Student Support Services) • Developed Web site with full documentation of research and other backup data for recommendations www.estrellamountain.edu/academics/Elearning
