Instructional Program Policies

Use of Distance Learning Course Formats

The University of Delaware is committed to the use of distance learning to enhance and extend undergraduate and graduate instruction. To insure that these formats, including videotape, online, CD-ROM, and interactive video are used to support rather than replace live instruction in Newark, the following policies will direct their use. Live course instruction must remain the standard with distance learning formats intended as supplemental or optional delivery systems for instruction. The development of courses in distance learning course formats shall be based on sound pedagogical value, not solely on financial expediency. They may not be used to replace faculty, or to change faculty teaching loads, and faculty may not be required to participate in videotaped courses.
