Introduction
This
Faculty Guide has been developed especially for to assist faculty
members and supporting administrative staff at institutions offering
the course. For a printed copy, contact INTELECOM's customer
service.
The guide is composed of five principal sections:
- About Distance Education
- The Faculty Role
- About the Course
- Test Bank
- Promoting the Course
The first section, About Distance Education, examines questions
generally asked about the instruction at a distance.
The
Faculty Role, the second section, is designed for the faculty
member who will actually be responsible for conducting the course.
This section describes various areas of responsibility assumed by
the instructor, and creative approaches that can enrich the learning
experience for enrolled students.
The third section, About the Course, describes the development
of the course, course goals, and the various elements of the course.
Since this section explains the basic facts about the course-what
it is, what it teaches, and how it teaches-it should be carefully
reviewed by all persons participating in the course.
The Test Bank, the fourth section, contains a complete bank
of objective questions for the twenty-six lessons of the course.
These questions can be used as a foundation on which to build weekly
quizzes, midterms, and final examinations. Additional test questions
are usually available from the publisher.
Promoting
the Course, the final section, contains suggestions regarding
various media that can be used in promoting the course, as well
as a sample press release and television/cable guide listings. This
information should be of particular interest to those administering
the course and the colleges’ public information officer.
