Abstract

Drexel University, a recognized innovator in computer-based educational support, has begun a strategically significant project aimed at producing a distributed instruction model program for a master's degree in Engineering Management. The production of high-quality Web-based graduate courses needs a concerted team effort because of the complexity involved in developing truly interactive and effective courses. An optimal blend of content, pedagogy, and technology is essential. The Drexel development team worked with a media technology company so that the essential spectrum of distance learning skills and expertise were available: project management, subject matter, instructional design, human/computer interaction, multimedia design, evaluation and assessment, quality control, and programming. Drexel's goal is to develop a model distance learning series that provides expanded and convenient access as well as a quality educational experience - one that can equal or even improve upon the traditional classroom learning experience. This paper describes the first phase of this effort: the development of a model Web-based graduate course, Engineering Economics, from concept to implementation.
