Teaching and Learning Collaboration between the ATN Universities: A Case Study
This paper describes an undergraduate teaching collaboration between two academics at two different ATN universities. This collaboration has been assisted by increasing attitudes of collaboration within the ATN network and by improving multi-media technology. While the collaboration has not been in place long, early feedback indicates that it is providing significant benefits.
Comparative Characteristic Analyses of On-Campus Resident and Off-Campus Video-Based Engineering Graduate Students and Their Implications
With research now fully supporting the ability of video to disseminate off-campus graduate engineering education, it is useful to review other factors impacting on program quality. One key issue is the quality of off-campus students, particularly in comparison to their on-campus peers. The following compares on-and off-campus engineering graduate students for traditionally accepted quantitative characteristics. These include: chronological age, age of undergraduate degree, scores on the GRE Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytic test, and undergraudate quality point average.
Comparative Performance Analysis of On- and Off-Campus Video-Based Engineering Graduate Students
Early analyses and anecdotal data support the efficacy of graduate engineering education delivered to off-campus students studying in moderately-sized groups with ``tutorial'' support. However, data now indicate that off-campus learners often study individually or in very small groups of three or fewer viewers. This trend will only develop further as increased uses of satellite technology affords teachers and learners cost-effective mechanisms of addressing the educational needs of single individuals spread throughout the nation. The following study addresses this concern by determining how well off-campus viewer/learners, studying in very small groups, perform in comparison to their on-campus peers.
