The Understated Collaboration: Advising and Administration in Online Learning Environments

Track

Non-Research Proposal / About SoTL

Abstract

While much research has been generated emphasizing the necessity for the connection between teacher and learner for success in the online learning environment, the fields of advising and administration as key agents in this field remain largely unexplored. In this presentation, using Indiana University Online’s Bachelor of Applied Science as a model, we will discuss the roles that academic advising and administration play in contributing to learner success. Specifically, we will delineate and develop “best practices” in collaboration between/among students, advisors, and administrators in order to promote success in the online learning environment, whether the institution be large or small, public or private.
