2008 - Forum 1 - Strategic directions for institutional support of blended and distance education Discussion in this forum will focus on two issues involving senior organizational administrators: (1) how strategic planning impacts the growth and sustainability of successful distance education programs, and (2) how strategic realignment consolidates the focus on emerging technologies and their applications in blended and distance education. Panelists will share their approaches for senior administrators to collaborate with faculty in strategic planning and realignment and their approaches to increase campus- wide outreach efforts.
