G’day John We here at CQU participate in an ICEWaRM (http://www.icewarm.com.au/) project where
cross institutional teaching occurs across multiple universities over the
Access Grid (Over 1700 Kilometres or 1000 miles apart). Basically a Master program has been
developed in the area of Water Resource Management. Admittedly, this
project is just taking off, as this term is the first term in which teaching
has occurred, but next Term we have 2 classes at 3 hours each session using our
AG facilities. I am not involved in to funding side of
this project and I think it is government funded some how. I am generally
more involved with the booking of our Facility, recording sessions and the
likes. I would be more than happy to pass on some
contacts to you if you require additional information. Cheers, Jason. From:
john langkals [mailto:langkals@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] I am looking for
any input from the Access Grid community concerning distant education funding
models. **It’s a little late, but I would like to suggest a broader
topic as motivation for the Access Grid Retreat: AG Distant Education Funding Models. The interest has
been generated at other universities to have their students possibly 'take'
some of our advanced courses, IF we can come up with a funding model that
works. We have the technology and expertise in house to do this, but
don't know how to handle the funding mechanics. Within various
departments, faculty complains of not enough grad students to justify teaching
their favorite seminars. It’s suggested that they investigate
spreading the opportunity around by investigating whether we could 'share'
students among a number of universities, with instruction shared among the
faculty. What do you do at
your respective institutions? Are there any success stories to share? Thank you, John John Langkals Systems Manager 614.292.6957
