| Developing and delivering Online Programs continues to be one
of my areas of interest and expertise that I continue to pursue here at the University of
Illinois. My online management efforts up until Spring semester 2000, have focused
on coordinating the HRE Online Masters degree distance education delivered synchronously
and a-synchronously via the Internet. Moving forward I am working with the CTER
program in researching ways of better managing online project management and delivery. |

HRE Online As the coordinator for the Department of Human Resource Education, my primary
responsibilities were to lead and facilitate the HRE Online support and design team's
efforts in all capacities of providing the top online HRE Masters degree in the
world. The design team supported the online students and instructors in all
technical aspects of the delivery of instruction. I also consulted with the faculty
to ensure their courses were developed and delivered on time and that their course
objectives were met through the WWW medium. More than 60 students are currently
enrolled in the program and three courses will be delivered concurrently in Spring
Semester 2000. |
CTER Online I will begin consulting with the Department of Education Psychology in delivering and developing better methods for managing educational courses via the web beginning May 2000. We will be looking for way's to incorporate project management software, skills, and generally accepted principles in the distance education domain. Maintaining a dynamic and flexible program while balancing the demands of technological dependencies continues to be a challenge for distance education providers and working with faculty members. We hope to find some common ground where we can make improvement. |
