Puzziferro, Maria; Shelton, Kaye
Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, v12 n3-4 p119-136 Dec 2008
As the demand for online education continues to increase, institutions are faced with developing process models for efficient, high-quality online course development. This paper describes a systems, team-based, approach that centers on an online instructional design theory ("Active Mastery Learning") implemented at Colorado State University-Global Campus. CSU-Global Campus is a newly-created online campus within the Colorado State University System, and launches in Fall 2008 with fully-online undergraduate degree completion programs and Master's degrees. (Contains 4 figures.)
