Ecampus research grant request for proposals
Ecampus is currently accepting proposals for grant funding in an effort to encourage research, development and scholarship of faculty and/or departments in the area of distance/online education. The expectation is that the funded proposals will further the strategic and programmatic objectives articulated in the University Strategic Plan, in particular as it relates to extended education, access and instructional excellence. Priority will be given to proposals that help OSU improve the effectiveness and "quality" of online and distance education. The proposal deadline is May 29, 2009. View more info.

Changes to on-campus proctoring
Beginning fall term 2009, we will begin charging main campus students $10 per exam to be proctored through Extended Campus. This is needed to cover the cost of proctors and administrative cost because main campus students are not covered in the Extended Campus distance education fees. For several years, Ecampus has been absorbing the cost associated with main campus proctoring. Ecampus students living outside driving distance from the main campus have been incurring these costs all along. Please be aware of the amount of exams you require to be proctored, and check with Dianna Fisher on ways to offer quizzes through Blackboard or other exam delivery methods.
