Two Approaches to Distance Learning at Mason

Abstract

The presenters will discuss two distance learning courses at Mason. Different techniques and approaches to asynchronous learning will be discussed. MGMT 301 is a required course for all School of Management majors and typically enrolls over 500 students per semester. It has been taught in both fully asynchronous and hybrid approaches. IT 308 is a small upper-level elective for the IT major, which has been taught in a fully asynchronous mode since Spring 2008. The presentation will include discussion of course development and tools used, delivery, and approaches to assessment.
