Abstract Text: In 2005, construction was completed on a $4.3 million distance education facility for the Cooperative Extension Program, School of Agricultural/Family Consumer Sciences and Institute of Agricultural and Economic Research at Tennessee State University (TSU). The facility known as the Agricultural Information Technology Center (AITC) was built to support these areas in the delivery of quality education and instruction to its constituents. This presentation will illustrate the implementation of a faculty development and support model and its use in bridging the services of the TSU Office of Distance Education (OoDE) and the AITC.
As the administrative unit for all e-learning through Tennessee State University, the Office of Distance Education (OoDE) develops and implements policy and procedure, provides technical and instructional design support, and initiates and tracks necessary documentation. Individual departments and schools within the University have varying levels of internal mechanisms for e-learning development and support. The AITC is the most advanced of the departmental systems and the collaboration between this area and the OoDE serve as the model for the University.
The AITC building services approximately 20 teaching faculty, 90 research associates plus research assistants, and 10 specialists along with 20 county agents throughout the state of Tennessee. The services provided include curriculum development for online education using WebCT; access to a state-of-the-art classroom with ITV; podcasting with video-taping capability; VoIP; satellite programs; computer training and technical assistance to effectively use the technology.
