Distance education and technology-enhanced learning have had long histories within higher education and especially within our professional, continuing, and online education units. Through these units and course/program offerings we have always stretched the frontier of learning and innovative pedagogical approaches to meet the needs of our students.
Celebrate the rich traditions of distance learning with the Online Management and Design (OMD) Network and look towards the future of online learning by taking lessons learned over this robust past and apply them to the next generation of our pedagogical approaches, distance education and online learning business models, and administration of our design units. Join us as we explore the impact of technology on our systems (both technical and operational), seek to understand the merits and disadvantages of various business models, continue to add value by staying on the forefront of our field, and be the voice of expertise with regard to the regulatory landscape that impacts distance education.
Today and into the next decade we will be faced with many challenges and questions, especially as non- or post-traditional students become the norm at our institutions. We hope you will join us this year in submitting a session proposal to help our community and others reflect on how to best move forward in the next decade and beyond.
Presentations involving multiple organizations, as well as content which may be scaled or optimized by attendees from a wide range of institutions are strongly encouraged. In addition, innovative formats such as roundtable, a flipped classroom experience (utilizing prior member/attendee discussion on CORe), or a sessions comprised by a series of short presentations on various aspects of a topic are also sought.
Proposals for this track may include (but are not limited to) the following topics:
