There is an article in this morning’s Inside Higer Ed entitled “Rise In Distance Enrollments” that talks about this trend in community colleges. Part of the article includes the results of a national survey taken by these institutions that describes the current status of student services for distance education at community colleges.
While we are a private, four-year university, it still seems that many of the results paralleled our situation here in Boston. For example the most pressing pressing challenge is how to assess student learning, certainly an ongoing quest. A surprising finding to me was that only 18% of faculty reported using the packages of course materials that are provided by publishers; 80% of colleges reported using their own materials.
While I have no quantitative data to cite, I imagine that our rate of using publisher-provided materials is higher, and if so, I wonder if it is because tenure track professors must show evidence of publishing, service, and teaching. One’s time in a four-year institution may be spread among more expectations and responsibilities.
i welcome comments on this, as I am just speculating.
At the college in the summer pilot, most used and created their own materials. Time consuming, yes, but in many cases quite necessary as the courses were electives and most of the content and the curricula was created by the individual professors anyway. There are a lot of good publisher materials out there if you’re lucky enough to be teaching a course and using a text that supplies them, though.

Every festival that we celebrate brings a positive vibe. We tend to go away from all darkness and negative energies in our life. If you are looking for such sources, the solar powered rope lights are something that you need. Also, the power consumed in such solar lights is comparatively low.
