UNC Online, a new website offered through the University of Northern Colorado

Office of Extended Studies, will serve as the new portal to online education.

The site, unconline.edu, consolidates in a central location information

on UNC’s online courses and programs and provides resources for current and

future students. An audio and visual online course demonstration provides

an overview of how the courses work.

This fall, in line with national trends, more than 20 percent of UNC undergraduate

and graduate students enrolled in one of 235 online courses offered at UNC.

In addition to its Greeley campus, UNC offers programs online and at its three

established centers at Centerra in Loveland, Lowry in Denver and in Colorado

Springs — along with other revolving sites around Colorado.

There are multiple undergraduate and graduate online programs combined.

Within the past year, five graduate programs have been added and more online

programs are planned to be offered by summer. Some programs are entirely

online and some require occasional workshop or labs on campus.

“UNC continues to focus on increasing access to education for adult learners

who otherwise would not be able to fulfill their educational goals," said Patricia

Book, assistant vice president of Continuing Education and Academic Outreach.

"UNC Online exemplifies our commitment to making college education convenient

through flexible and accelerated formats to meet the needs of working adults.”

E-learning is the education system that people can't ignore or should keep up with

at the 21st century for their lifelong education.

Nowadays, the term, Distributed Learning System, is more used than e-learning.

It is because distributed learning has much wider range of meaning.

One of the basic tenets of adult learning is that learning needs to take place at the time that the knowledge is required.

In today’s business climate, the performance of your people is a critical differentiator for your business’ success. When change is the only constant, your organization must establish a baseline of competency and skills among your workforce.

No matter the size of your organization

can move your organization forward by delivering measurable results that drive performance.

Learning Portal: Often when businesses look into assessed eLearning solutions they run into three potentially scary letters

Social Learning: Social learning is a powerful training tool for any sized company.

This is one reason why providing self-paced and e-learning is such a powerful and effective investment for businesses. E-learning can provide every employee

consistent learning that is available at the time they require it.

THE REUSABLE LEARNING PROJECT

The Reusable Learning project received initial funding from the National Science Foundation in Fall 2003 as part of the National Science Digital Library initiative (NSF DUE-0333590). The project will conclude in Fall 2005. The objectives of the project are to:
Develop Reusable Design Guidelines intended for content authors and digital repository managers. They provide a set of specific actions that can be taken in five areas to improve the reusability of digital learning resources. These guidelines, and other resources developed by the project, synthesize the body of research and practice that has built up in this domain.
Developing recommendations on how collections can expose reusable content in searches.
Disseminate these guidelines and recommendations, and train NSDL project participants on their use, through a series of workshops, and through the development of this web site and other resources.
All resources produced by this project are applicable to the entire educational community.

The following topics provide an introduction to the concepts of reusability, and the factors affecting reusability:
The Case for Reusability
What, How and by Whom
Introduction to Reusable Design
Factors Affecting Reusability
Granularity (or aggregation level)
