Demand for online education is on the rise. Could your school take advantage of this growing income opportunity? Smaller institutions are usually overlooked in discussions of online educational programming. Typical seminars on distance learning focus on large institutions with existing continuing education structures on which to build an online program.


This seminar is different. It is aimed specifically at smaller schools that are developing an online program for the first time. Even small institutions can find big success with distance learning–especially when they know which steps to follow and understand how to maximize their available resources.
In Growing Successful Online Programs at a Small School, Dr. Carol Williams will explain how to establish thriving online education programs at institutions with fewer than 5,000 students.


This seminar will cover:
• Developing a revenue stream with online education
• Articulating a clear online mission
• Selecting a lead administrator
• Initiating effective marketing efforts
• Admissions
• Faculty buy-in and incentives
• Developing fair compensation plans
• Instructional design
• Appropriate administrative structures

• Providing online education support services
• The 5 key areas small colleges must consider before starting an online program
Participants will also identify the key questions and crucial online course development personnel for their own campuses.
