DL Strategy - Implications for EET

What does the DL Strategy really mean for EET? Overall, we're going to be busy doing a lot of exciting things!

• It escalates many of the things we currently do, in other words it means “more” . . . more course development (DL and classroom); more support for instructors teaching on campus as well as through DL; more PD for blended course redesigns and delivery and effective use of educational technologies; more integrated program / curriculum reviews; more demand for video conferencing, more focus on PLA . . . .

• And this happens in the current world of doing more with pretty much the same level of staffing. This means we will have to be creative and perhaps shuffle some responsibilities around to be more efficient. As we’ve experienced, it’s often a good process to rethink processes and practices with the end goal of being more efficient, as well as better utilizing strengths of everyone in the department. We'll also have to watch workload very carefully and work on priorizing our work both individually on a daily basis and at the department level.
