Abstract

In this case study, the researchers detail the transformation of a traditional, face-to-face, graduate-level seminary course into an online offering. The course, Biblical Studies 1: Torah and Former Prophets, part of the core curriculum at a Midwestern seminary, was adapted into a distance learning course. The first group of students enrolled in the online course for the spring 2009 term. Previously, the course was offered to first-year seminarians enrolled in traditional, face-to-face, degree and non-degree programs. This was the first course offered online at the graduate institution. This study provides a description of the process of adaption of the course to a distance learning option, and contains an analysis of student assessment outcomes for assignments required in both course formats. From the analysis of student outcomes, recommendations for future instructional practice are made.
