Faculty Support Services

A variety of support services is available to Texas State faculty who are involved in the delivery of courses and programs via a distributed technology. For example, Planning Guides for Internet Course Development, ITV Course Development, and Correspondence Course Development are designed to assist faculty who are beginning to explore the use of a technology in their instructional programs.

Steering Committee

A steering committee has been appointed by the VPAA to provide assistance to the director of Extended and Distance Learning. The committee provides general oversight into the development of distance learning policies and programs. Its members represent a cross-section of key stakeholders in extended and distance learning at Texas State.

Academic and Student Support Services Committee

The VPAA has appointed an Academic and Student Support Services Committee. The committee is charged with identifying support services currently available to on-campus students that are directly transferable to extended learners; identifying support services that are unique to extended learners; and identifying the impact on the current infrastructure in providing support services to extended learners.

Marketing Your Courses and Programs

Several opportunities are available to market your distance learning courses and programs to a potentially larger student audience. In addition to Texas State’s distance learning Web site, courses and programs may also be posted at no charge on the Web sites of the Texas State University System, Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and the Electronic Campus of the Southern Region Education Board. If you would like additional information on how you might get your courses and programs listed on these Web sites, contact the director of Extended and Distance Learning at corrstudy@txstate.edu.
