Abstract
Several forms of blended learning at Pace University offer flexible options for learners, and its growth reflects its appeal to traditional and corporate learners.
Highlights
Since 1996, Pace University, primarily through the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems, has been actively involved in online education in the style known as asynchronous learning networks (ALN)
Perhaps best known is the NACTEL program; an online array of undergraduate and graduate degrees provided 100% online to individuals in the telecommunications industry. This program, in place since 1999, has offered high quality online education to several thousand individuals throughout the United States, who work in five different time zones under some challenging conditions
The first way, and the one that the University has labeled “Web assisted” is when a significant percentage of face-to-face time in a given course is “replaced by” online time that enables individuals to come to the University less often than would have been previously required
Summary
Since 1996, Pace University, primarily through the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems, has been actively involved in online education in the style known as asynchronous learning networks (ALN). Such flexibility provides students with other course opportunities, and perhaps with some work options as well. The redesign team consciously chose to reconstruct CIS101 in such a way that for part of it (two course hours each week) students would continue to meet face-to-face, in groups of 28, with their professor.
