Abstract

Macon State College has received a multi-million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Education for use in Distance Education activities. To this result, we are hiring Instructional Design specialists, who work along side with faculty, in order to produce distance learning materials that meet acceptable guidelines. One of these guidelines is the University of Georgia System E-Core guidelines. These guidelines specify how distance ed courses are to be designed in order to provide
a consistent and productive online environment for students.

We propose to explain how we are implementing this multimillion dollar project, how the interaction between instructional specialists and faculty are progressing and the results of this effort. We will also show how the UGA's E-core guidelines fit into this model of distance learning.
