Offline Management of Online Courses at Ivy Tech - Linda L Briggs, Campus Technology
"Online, you get to know your students' minds, not just their faces," reads the tagline to Jeff Ventrano’s e-mail messages. That sums up his attitude toward online learning at Ivy Tech Community College in Indiana, where Ventrano serves as a technical specialist for academic affairs and as Blackboard administrator. Ivy Tech is a large Indianapolis-based community college with 23 campuses across the state, along with some 100,000 students and 8,000 instructors. For the fall 2006 semester, 23,000 Ivy Tech students were enrolled in distance learning courses, a number that has been climbing steadily since distance learning options were introduced at the college five or so years ago.
