Hello Colleagues,
Previously, a number of discussions have emerged about the pros and cons of
teaching diversity courses online. In a related matter, I would like to get
some feedback from anyone who has encountered issues regarding the effect
that online courses may have on a program's accreditation status.
Specifically, when an institution transitions from being one that provides
students traditional classroom/lab settings to being one that delivers
courses through a largely online environment, how does this new platform
affect the integrity of a journalism/media program? It would seem that a
move to an online portal would have a negative impact on the quality of the
program. These issues are just a few that lead to the following questions:
1. Could an accredited program offer a journalism/media degree entirely
online?
2. In an accredited program, what percentage of online courses could be
taught as part of a journalism/media degree without adversely affecting the
program?
Thanks!
~Debbie
