Chart a Course to Everywhere (Kieran Lindsey, Virginia Tech)
Manage episode 298465716 series 2825848
There are many reasons to create academic programs that can reach students who are unable to travel to campus. Maybe you'd like to expand the audience for an existing in-person degree, or create an entirely new online offering. But before you begin this journey there's something you need to know — when geography is no longer a barrier to access it changes the map.
So how does an program director chart a course from in-person to online? In this episode, Dan and Kieran discuss what needs to be on the packing list before you set sail. Mixing our travel metaphors, we kept the altitude of this conversation at about 10,000 feet, soaring over 5 broad topics — goals, audience, faculty, marketing, and institutional support. But if you'd like to hear an in-depth exploration of any of these topics, please let us know so we can plan future episodes!
Even better, if you have an online learning project you'd like to workshop with us on air, we would love to have you on Wired Ivy. Leave a voice message at speakpipe.com/wiredivyor by sending an email to wiredivypodcast@gmail.com.
