✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Use of online courseware in supporting distributed and distance learning in higher education is maturing in terms of both technology and organizational readiness. However, faculty and institutions are concerned with receiving equal credit for creating and delivering online courses. For both, peer review is important, while faculty have additional concern over workload and promotion and tenure considerations. Standards, interoperability, and collaboration will increase the legitimacy of their efforts. This session will present the work of three initiatives that are developing standards for courseware repositories, interoperability between courseware products, and collaborative efforts to produce and share courseware for member institutions and others.
