How is Support supposed to provide support, when no one’s supporting Support?

To put it another way … How is your faculty online support team supposed to do its job, when it doesn’t get the budget it needs to function properly?

That’s a dilemma being faced on many college campuses. As online programs take off, both in popularity and in scope, support budgets frequently lag far behind.

More and more, support teams are relying on resourcefulness, innovation and “tricks of the trade” to provide high-quality service at no-frills prices. You can learn what's being done in some highly successful programs with this seminar CD.

High-Level Online Faculty Support for Low-Level Cost is presented by Kaye Shelton, Dean of Online Education at Dallas Baptist University. DBU has an especially robust online program, with 34 fully online degree programs and a 92% student course completion rate. They provide exceptional faculty support, despite a budget that presents stiff challenges.

In this 75-minute seminar CD, you’ll discover how DBU and other institutions have balanced quality and cost. The seminar covers:
• Critical factors for online success.
• Efficient ways to keep faculty updated on the latest developments in online learning.
• A workable model for cost-effective online support.
• Free or low-cost software solutions for creating quality course design.
• Where to find highly competent, highly motivated support help–cheap.
• Essential website resources.
• Proven tips for high-quality course development on a budget.
• And much more.

You’ll get practical, use-it-now information to maintain a stellar support program on a less-than-lavish budget.

Spend a little … learn a lot
It’s appropriate that a seminar about budget management should be affordable itself. The fee for this seminar CD is just $229 – far less than the cost of an off-campus event, and with none of the associated costs for travel, lodging, meals, etc. What’s more, the fee applies per CD, not per person so you can invite others from your campus to attend, without paying another dime. Simply project it in a facility large enough to accommodate your group! It’s a tremendous budget-stretcher.

Who will benefit:
• Directors of online programs
• Deans of distance learning
• Instructional designers
• Online faculty
• Distance education administrators
