Outsourcing Course Support
There is some interest in outsourcing course support. It's being done at the University of
Arizona. In the next few weeks we will be looking at whether we want to do this or go
with a canned course. Deconstruct/Reconstruct/put into canned program
Charge students a fee. An opinion was expressed concerning the "quality" issue involved
and that many students feel they learn better when they can see an instructor. A draft
proposal should be ready in the next few weeks. It was noted that it could take $5,000 to
$6,000 to put a course in shape for the Internet.
It was also noted that next year's baseline $'s will be half of what we received this year.
The question was raised wondering how CETI effected the baseline $'s.
