A brief description of the program(s), including positive outcomes during the previous three years:
Incentives are available for faculty to create and/or modify existing courses into online distance learning courses. Online distance learning has greatly increased in the last several years at CCU and here is a report: http://www.coastal.edu/sacscoc/administrative/composer/1408134714_COOL%201.1.pdf
Online learning has evolved rapidly over the last decade as an educational genre capable of serving both residential and remote students, particularly those who face 21st century workplace expectations for continuous learning. These working students have created competitive global markets for online academic programs across a variety of academic disciplines.
