Online Education
President Green charged the Online Education Working Group to explore the steps needed to build a stronger remote learning infrastructure and enhance our online education offerings. The end result is a white paper with recommendations focused on areas of strength, areas where we need improvement and information with specifics about investments and resources needed for us to improve our online opportunities and curriculum.
The white paper will serve as a road map citing unique areas of expertise and opportunity for University of Idaho online curriculum, requirements for best practices to implement online student support services, technology and infrastructure requirements, marketing and strategic positioning tactics and best practices around faculty support and curriculum development.
