America's Media Makers: Development and Production Grants
The National Endowment for the Humanities encourages radio, television, and digital media projects that:
-- Combine radio or television programs with projects that use emerging technologies, museum exhibitions, reading and discussion programs, and other formats to expand and enhance programs’ humanities content, deepen the audiences’ experience of the content, engage audiences in new ways, and expand the distribution of programs;
-- Advance the role of cultural repositories in online teaching, learning, and research for public audiences, teachers, students, and scholars;
-- Create products such as DVDs, Web sites, games, virtual environments, streaming video, and podcasts, and user-generated content;
-- Produce a broadcast program with interactive content to extend the educational experience of the program’s audience, use resources efficiently, and keep humanities ideas at the center of the project;
-- Engage the public interactively in exploring humanities ideas and questions by using new ways to contextualize, interpret, and distribute content;
-- Result in large-scale, collaborative programs featuring multiple formats; and
-- Build new programs around previously-funded NEH projects, using complementary formats to add new dimensions and take advantage of new formats and technologies to reach new audiences.

2009 Distance Education Survey Results
Trends in eLearning: Tracking the Impact of eLearning at Community Colleges
2009 Distance Education Survey Results
|
| • Campuses reported an 22 percent increase for distance learning enrollments, while Sloan-C reports increases in overall campus enrollments averaged less than two percent.
|
| • Distance education administrators continue to address the need for course quality and design, faculty training and preparation, course assessment, and improving student readiness and retention. Programs are challenged by a lack the staff and resources to be successful.
|
| • The completion rate gap between distance learning and face-to-face student has significantly narrowed. Completion rates jumped to a reported 72 percent, just below the 76 rate for face-to-face classes.
|
Fred Lokken, associate dean for the Truckee Meadows Community College WebCollege, authored the study based on a survey of 226 community colleges.
