Vision for the Consortium

A variety of distance learning programs have evolved and are currently evolving across Schools at Tufts University. The Tufts Distance Learning Consortium has been envisioned as a way for Tufts colleagues engaged in shaping, leading, and supporting these distance learning programs to meet, to share ideas and resources, and to confer about common goals and challenges. The Consortium meets periodically throughout the year, as desired by participants, and this collaboration space supports virtual sharing of information and resources year-round.

Blended Learning: A Report on the EDUCAUSE ELI Session

On September 15 and 16, 2010, the ELI teaching and learning community gathered for an online focus session on blended learning. This white paper is a synthesis of the key ideas, themes, and concepts that emerged from those sessions. This white paper also includes links to supporting focus session materials, recordings, and resources. It represents a harvesting of the key elements that we, as a teaching and learning community, need to keep in mind as we work to refine the blended instructional delivery model in higher education.

Face-to-face vs. Real-time Clinical Education: No Significant Difference (Electronic Journal of E-Learning)

The main objective of this pilot research project was to determine whether the use of an internet broadband link to stream physiotherapy clinical education workshop proceedings in "real-time" is of equivalent educational value as the traditional face-to-face experience.

The Reluctant Online Professor
"Most faculty in higher education tend to teach the way they were taught---I know this is true for me....So I started the experience with great reluctance and trepidation. Much to my surprise, I finished it jubilantly. It turned out to be one of the best classes I have ever taught."
