  6. DISTANCE EDUCATION ACCREDITING COMMISSION Radical innovation's emergence • Emergence of MOOCs: tsunami effect on US college campuses • No longer a dichotomy of traditional versus online • Educational technology is fully integrated in innovative education courses to create multiple delivery models • Quality, access, affordability and personalized learning are the hallmarks of effective distance education integration • Growing momentum of non-institutional (school-as-a-service) providers of distance education as outsourced partners • What does this landscape look like?

  9. DISTANCE EDUCATION ACCREDITING COMMISSION Ad Hoc Courses and Programs • Individual faculty or department driven • Not typically grounded in institutional policy and strategy • Faculty exploration of new mediums to meet specific needs of curriculum or program content • Not the primary source of growth in online – highly individualized

  10. DISTANCE EDUCATION ACCREDITING COMMISSION Fully Online Programs and Institutions • Biggest driver of growth in distance education • Instructional design teams (multimedia experts, quality assurance experts, instructional designers) work with faculty to design the program • Once designed – most often replicated and delivered by instructors who were not part of the design team • The majority of large scale for-profit institutions use this approach (i.e. University of Phoenix, Capella) • In the non-profit or public sector, online divisions operate individually • Rio Salado College • University of Maryland University College • Colorado Community College Online

  11. DISTANCE EDUCATION ACCREDITING COMMISSION Non-Institutional Providers • External company providing online content, curriculum or even student services • Provide curriculum direct to learner • Are not in any “institutional” category – can operate independent of state or federal requirements • Very effective at delivering courses at very low cost • Some courses are awarded college credit by third party credit recommendation services
