Abstract
The Online Learning Council's (OLC) purpose is to improve and enhance the academic experience at Drexel University through better use of technology, assessment, innovative teaching approaches, collaborative course reviews, and professional development. The OLC has grown to 100 members from across the University and includes faculty, administrators, technical instructional design staff and teaching assistants. Teaching assistants (TA's) are generally doctoral students who assist professors with teaching in exchange for tuition and mentoring. The University has approximately 2,000 teaching assistants. Teaching assistants provide essential course delivery services to undergraduate students and are an important interface between the undergraduate student and the department. The focus of this paper is to address the benefits of integrating TA's into Drexel's initiatives related to online course quality. We describe the benefits of integrating TA's to students, faculty, programs and the University as well as to the TA.
