Distance Education Special Interest Group, Fall 2014

The Distance Education Special Interest Group at Duke (DE SIG@Duke) is an open group meeting every other month to discuss a range of distance education topics. Members include instructors, program directors and coordinators, IT directors and staff, instructional designers, and academic technology consultants. We focus on program administration, pedagogy, and technology.
