Syracuse University (Syracuse University, School of Information Studies)

Syracuse University School of Information Studies will partner with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Washington to pilot a collaborative program to offer online courses to students in the programs. Collective and individual institutional capacity will be built by providing training for faculty in online pedagogy, allowing institutions to focus in areas of strength while ensuring students access to a range of courses. The project will provide a mechanism for institutions to cost-effectively deliver specialized courses and position them to reach a more diverse student body via online education. The schools will also conduct a survey to identify other online offerings and potential partners. Match: $486,108
