  2. Movement into Distance Education • 1994 – moved to compressed video for several programs (MS in Clinical Nutrition, BS Clinical Labs, AAS Allied Dental) • 1997 – moved to on-line (BS in Health Sciences and MS in Health Systems) • 2000s – added Class Capture, Audience Response • 2013 - 13 fully on-line programs, extensive use of blended classes UMDNJ – School of Health Related Professions

  4. Distance Education Design • Faculty facilitated classes with intense online discussion and activities with 10 to 30 students, after 20 generally a TA Promote the use of interprofessional groups Predominantly asynchronous supplemented with videoconferencing synchronously • Some on-site classes or presentations for some, • Some clinicals • 2013-14 goal: test some larger classes, up to 65 • Design flexible for best learning UMDNJ – School of Health Related Professions

  5. The conversion • Paid faculty to develop the courses, the price of normally teaching the course and then paid to teach • Continue to pay for first time conversion of course as teaching workload (4 credits for 3 credit course) and curriculum committee approval • Why? Enhanced quality and university ownership UMDNJ– School of Health Related Professions
