Faculty and staff members at the Syracuse University School of Information Studies have historically played a leading role in advancing online education. They have skillfully adapted campus-based courses for online learning environments, and continually adopt new technologies and tools to ensure that online courses match or exceed the quality of campus-based versions.
Faculty provide on-demand access to course documents and in many cases, a 24/7 forum for focused discussion that extends far beyond the limitation of traditional class time. Online access to material for campus courses may be purely supplemental, but it provides an extra opportunity for students to engage with that material between face-to-face sessions.
Here are a sample of the publications and presentations our faculty have created about online education.
