Online delivery at UMD is a strategic asset that we'd like to further develop for those that are interested. Increasing faculty are using online as an alternative course delivery model. To support online delivery, and in concert with an external assessment of UMD's online readiness, we have included this effort as part of the position for the Associate Vice Chancellor For Outreach and Online Delivery. Kim Riordan, a faculty member in the education department, was appointed as the interim AVC earlier this year. Her responsibilities include support of the development of further online delivery (particularly programs that are wholly or primarily online) and to develop a comprehensive plan for online delivery at UMD. She has been working with people across UMD to lay the foundation for moving forward.
Tuesday, November 20th marks the start of UMD's Online Delivery Community of Practice meetings. This group of faculty and staff involved in online teaching will learn from one another as they explore together "what does good online education look like at UMD?" If you are interested, or would like further information, please contact Kim Riordan via email (kriordan@d.umn.edu) or phone (726-7251).
