NYS – Organizational Commitment • “Must be backed by a commitment on the part of the institution or organization to include distance learning in its planning and goal-setting, to treat distance education and on-campus education equitably in its policies and procedures, and to provide the necessary resources…”

  4. NYS – Learning Design • “All programs must have quality, integrity, and consistency, and must fit the specific context for learning. That context includes the nature of the subject matter, the intended learning outcomes, the needs and goals of the learner, the learner’s environment & and the instructional techniques and methods.”

  5. NYS – Learner Support • “Institutions must develop and provide the necessary information and learner support systems to assist learners in carrying out their learning activities and using the available resources. Learner support must be appropriate to the distance learning modes used.”

  6. NYS – Outcomes & Assessment • “Distance education programs should organize learning activities around demonstrable outcomes, assist the learner to achieve those outcomes, and assess learner progress by reference to those outcomes.”

  7. NYS – Program Evaluation • “The institution should evaluate the effectiveness of its distance learning programs and should use the findings to improve the programs and services. Program evaluation procedures include a determination that distance learning programs result in learning outcomes appropriate to the rigor & breadth of the college degree or certificate awarded.”
