University of Alberta: eLearning: From Grass Roots to Mission-Critical, Syllabus
eLearning began at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with a few brave faculty members who decided to try something new. They started small: making their course syllabi, lecture notes, or class assignments available to students via the Web. Students responded positively—even seeking out particular instructors or courses that featured online components. Today, what began as a grassroots movement by students and faculty has evolved into an institution-wide eLearning program that is closely aligned with the university's core mission and goals. The university currently offers approximately 1,500 online courses, with more than 120,000 student registrations—and expects a continued 25 percent growth for the next several years.
