- W2248179218 abstract "As distance learning has proven to be a viable and effective means of delivering instruction, the focus for many institutions has shifted from program establishment to program growth. The unexpected demand for and rapid success in new distance programs has presented challenges in terms of providing student support, faculty training, and course quality. In order to expand distance offerings while maintaining quality, institutions must often develop new scalable models for every aspect of their distance support function. Introduction Distance education has become one of the fastest growing phenomenons in higher education. With the availability of new technologies and changing learner needs, traditional universities are successfully delivering instruction to students at remote locations who would otherwise be unable to complete their studies. The success has not come without drawbacks, however. Many universities are faced with a demand for their distance programs, which overwhelms the existing campus infrastructure. Consequently, many of these institutions fail to expand their distance program, or find themselves relying on external, commercial companies to develop their distance courses. Administrative Challenges Perhaps the most immediate concern of the expansion of distance education is administration. As a distance program grows while staffing remains stable, vital functions such as registration and materials distribution become unmanageable. The key is to make all operations scaleable and as automated as possible. For example, a distance program, which currently has 100 students, should design its registration process to potentially meet the needs of 5000 or more. The State University of West Georgia has seen its distance enrollment double every year since 1995, so that there were more than 1,000 distance students by Fall 1998. Previously, a handbook for distance students was mailed to every registered distance student in the weeks before their courses were to begin. This labor-intensive, expensive procedure was replaced in Fall 1998. Now, the handbooks are all distributed to the school bookstore, where students may order them and buy them along with their other books. Also, when the university began using WebCT to offer online courses, student assistants were assigned to each course to help students learn the" @default.
