With today's telecommunication capabilities and advanced
information technologies, more and more learners can complete
entire academic degree programs without ever setting foot in their
institution's main campus. In fact, over 100 American institutions
already offer distance learning degree programs or certificate
courses, and more are on the way. Promoting Student Learning and
Student Development at a Distance meets this growing trend head-on
with its definitive examination of contemporary electronic
classroom environments. Drawing from institutions all over the
United States, the book outlines factors and practices that both
directly and indirectly influence the adjustment, learning and
development of distance students. It also provides a detailed
overview of student affairs responses to distant student needs,
stressing the importance of building communities at a distance and
using a case study to illustrate the design of distance student
services. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, it offers concrete
strategies for improvement, such as the creation of four new roles
for student development professionals as distance educators:
Faculty Development Provider, Academic Liaison, Program Designer,
and Outcome Evaluator. As a result, Promoting Student Learning and
Student Development at a Distance is more than just a valuable
resource to the learner and educator alike. It is an integral
ingredient to the future success of tomorrow's student.
