Goals (2002-2008)

• Provide a catalyst and support a framework for the on-going development of pedagogically robust, technologically enhanced collegiate programs, courses, modules, and learning objects.
• Provide a framework for the ongoing development of faculty and others in higher education and as networked communities throughout the state. These communities will encourage collaboration, communalize discoveries among and across institutions and disciplines, reduce redundancies, and improve economic efficiencies.
• Develop more courses and degrees available at a distance
• Develop shared learning resources that are portable, scalable, and connected to student learning goals. These learning resources will be available through the E-Learning Athenaeum of Ohio (ELA), databases, or collections including OLN’s OhioLearns!, the OLN website, or OhioLINK’s Digital Media Center.
• Continue to build upon developed in previous years. Creatively address challenges in ways that will provide positive momentum for future Learning Communities.
• Build a diverse cadre of faculty and learning community “consultants” who will:
  • Work with and support each other as they address current issues of teaching, learning, and advanced technologies.
  • Share and disseminate information and knowledge through virtual and face-to-face local, state and national venues.
  • Support LCI in future years by planning, facilitating, presenting and participating in statewide and regional events such as: ODCE Conference, Learning Institutes, webinars, regional events, LCI EXPO and others.
