Rationale of Prediction● The Goals of the distance learning program at NSU are:
· making educational opportunities more affordable for students;· increasing student access by increasing scheduling flexibility;· increasing student access by making courses available at convenient locations;· improving the quality of course offerings;· increasing NSU's access to new audiences;· increasing enrollments;· creating opportunities to faculty development
● “…our state’s future is going to be determined,
in large part, by our ability to educate our
citizens so they can compete globally.
Currently, we are below the national average in
the percentage of our population with college
degrees, so there is much to do.
● Oklahoma is fortunate that Gov. Brad Henry
and our Legislature value higher education as
an engine for economic growth “
