MET Computer Science and Learning Team Authors New Book on Best Practices in Online Education
Written by MET Office of Distance Education Associate Director of Instructional Design Dan Hillman, Computer Science Associate Professor Emeritus Robert Schudy, and Department of Computer Science Chair Anatoly Temkin, Best Practices for Administering Online Programs is a practical volume for university teams seeking to manage effective online programs. Defining, designing, implementing, and updating online courses is a highly collaborative effort, particularly with limited resources and expanding student enrollment.
This book unites the efforts of program directors, supervisors, department chairs, participating faculty, instructional designers, IT specialists, and support staff toward a common goal: affordable, accessible, and scalable online learning. Readers will find guidelines for fostering quality, faculty skills, academic integrity, learning objectives, course improvement, and more.
Dr. Temkin and Dr. Hillman were previously awarded the 2014 Blackboard Catalyst Award for Exemplary Course Program for their work designing Introduction to Probability and Statistics (MET CS 546), formally Quantitative Methods for Information Systems, part of MET’s online Computer Information Systems master’s degree program.
