Some Sources of W4T Policy Information

We are interested in knowing about people and institutions that have addressed questions like these:

1. How can we address the use of the web for the following range of circumstances?
   • All students are on campus.
   • Some students are on campus, others are within 100 miles.
   • Students can be anywhere within a 2-hour time zone.
   • Students can be time zones that differ by more than 2 hours (maybe more than 10 hours).
2. What should be the relationship between distance education and academic credit in a degree program?
3. Should faculty be rewarded for developing the use of the web in their teaching? If so, how?
4. Should faculty be penalized for abstaining from the use of the web in their teaching? If so, how?
5. How can the creative efforts of faculty who use the web for teaching be shared productively? (This is a question of how to coordinate faculty at the same university.)
6. Should innovations using the web for teaching, particularly those that are published in some archival form, be considered part of a faculty's research/creative activities?
