NEW ONLINE GROUP AND SCHOLARSHIPS
An online collaborative group is now forming to participate in the Distance
Education Certificate Program offered by the University of
Wisconsin-Madison. The group will start the program together on January 12,
2000 (enrollment deadline is December 15), working as a cohort in completing
online core modules and electives. Four half-tuition scholarships are
available to group participants. The scholarship application deadline is
November 12.
The group track is a new addition to the Certificate Program's professional
development curriculum. The program now has a collaborative online track, a
self-paced track, and non-certificate options. Offered since 1993, the
Certificate Program is designed to build knowledge, skills, and leadership
in distance education. The curriculum of four core modules and twelve
electives covers central components of distance education practice,
including teaching/learning methods, technology, instructional design,
evaluation, learner support, and management.
