Distance Learning

Program Development

Indiana State University faculty members who are interested in developing courses (including general education) for distance programs may benefit from the array of services offered by the University's Office of Distance Support Services.

Services include (but are not limited to):

Web Development Stipends

In order for a course to be eligible for a web development stipend, four conditions must be met:

  1. Distance Program Agreement:  This is the overall agreement that lays out the plan for the collection of individual courses that make up the distance program.

  2. Web Course Development and Funding Application:  This is individually filled out by the instructor before beginning work on the course.

  3. Copyright Agreement:  This assigns copyright to the instructor or the university, depending upon the situation.

  4. Course Completion Form:  This form denotes the course is ready for delivery to students, meets the academic standards of the department, and meets the best practices rubric in pedagogy from the instructional designer.

When all four conditions have been met, the course is eligible for the development stipend.
