General Charge for the E-Team - A collaborative project on e-learning at Augsburg
College
One of the initiatives from discussions held by Leif Anderson, Chris Kimball,
John Schmit, Rick Thoni and Diane Pike was the decision to develop on campus
resources group knowledgeable about best practices in teaching and learning
using e-strategies.
The charge of the project was to answer the questions:
- With respect to best teaching and learning practices with e-technology,
what is right for Augsburg College?
- What is empirically known about effective teaching and learning on-line
and for which populations served?
- What should we do with what we know?
The team worked over the summer of 2004 to produce a report that includes
specific recommendations to College Council. The summer work included reading
current and past research, taking online courses both at Augsburg and other
institutions, conducting interviews with people at other institutions, and attending
the 20th Annual
Distance Teaching and Learning Conference in Madison, WI.
As a group we feel that the best use of this report is to initiate a dialog
on the campus about the role e-learning should play in our teaching. As you
will read, there are no cut-and-dried answers to the questions we are pursuing.
But there are useful principles to guide us and valuable insights to spark our
creativity in advancing the work and mission of the College in an exciting era
of change.

the key aspects of the team's findings.
