SOIS
Distance Education Opportunities
The School of Information Studies (SOIS) has
been providing distance education courses throughout
the state of Wisconsin for many years. With the
new Web-based coursework, SOIS is expanding the
range of its distance education courses beyond
these boundaries.
The delivery of coursework over the Internet
enables professionals and students from remote
locations to participate in the program. Distance
learning fosters unique opportunities for students,
creating truly student-centered environments.
Students who otherwise could not complete the
program in Milwaukee are now given the opportunity.
The SOIS approach to distance education involves
a user-friendly software package and delivery
over the Internet. The technical requirements
are minimal. Most of the coursework is completed
"asynchronously," in non-real time,
so students can participate at their convenience.
Real-time chats and some "face-to-face"
video meetings may be required, depending on the
course. The program's integrity is preserved with
careful monitoring and pacing of students, as
well as with the guidance of a Distance Education
coordinator.
