Miracle Grow for Your Online Programs




  • This list may seem a bit elementary, but amazingly, one or more is often overlooked or disregarded. Here are five ways to jumpstart your stabilized growth.

1. Only hire faculty (and chairs and deans) who are willing and eager to teach online.

2. Make online learning growth part of the university strategic plan (money and resources should follow).

3. Focus on degree programs, not individual courses.

4. Include credit for online teaching in the tenure and promotion process.

5. Develop a planning committee made up of high-level players - deans, associate deans, directors.
