Distributed Learning
The Vision 2020 Grant program has
set aside about $800,000 to “seed” a viable and comprehensive DL delivery model
for NIU. These monies are available for either the
- NIU home-grown
DL model, or
- A model
provided by a private online delivery firm with a “turn-key” revenue-sharing approach
The Vision 2020 Plan projected 81,250
student credit hours through a comprehensive distributed learning system by
2020.
NIU’s DL
offerings currently generate about 16,000 student credit hours from about 13
programs.
