University of Missouri campuses to test online course sharing - ASHLEY JOST, Columbia Daily Tribune

The University of Missouri System is implementing a new course-sharing program this fall in an effort to expand access for students at each of the four campuses. The effort serves multiple purposes: to create an online alternative for classes that typically have low enrollment, to broaden access to unique classes and to give partnering faculty members time to work on other projects, such as research, because they’re ideally alternating semesters of teaching their online courses. Through course-sharing, faculty members from two or more campuses partner up on their ideas for unique courses, said Steve Graham, UM senior associate vice president for academic affairs. http://www.columbiatribune.com/news/education/university-of-missouri-campuses-to-test-online-course-sharing/article_29b8be53-d80b-53f4-9ab4-534e2b3feefe.html
