eLearning Course (5 cr.) DRAFT DESCRIPTION
Educators explore the theories, paradigms, trends, and
issues in the field of eLearning. Research on eLearning is
critiqued and analyzed as an ecosystem, including an
examination of K–12, higher education, corporate, and
personal learning communities. Current social and
geopolitical trends and their impact on eLearning are
analyzed. Delivery methods, human presence, and
sustainability of eLearning design are investigated.
Through this course, educators are provided with design
and development experience through the creation of
multimedia presentations in an eLearning environment.

Case Study #2
Your school is located in a large urban area where
traffic/parking are problematic. Your target
enrollment is professionals but who can come to
class during the typical 8 AM -5 PM time. Your school
has a satellite campus that is located in the suburbs
and in addition you are getting more enrollments in
your program from other parts of your state. You’ve
even started getting some enrollments from foreign
countries--help to the bottom line, as they pay out of
state tuition.

Course Evaluation
“Evaluation is often
viewed as a test of
effectiveness – of
materials, teaching
methods or whatnot –
but this is the least
important aspect of it.
The most important is to
provide intelligence on
how to improve these
things”
(Ramsden, P. (2003). Learning to
teach in higher education (2nd ed.).
London: RoutledgeFalmer., p. 223).
