Institutions that are working towards offering more online and blended offerings to support student learning must support the work of faculty to make this change in instructional design and delivery. Often these kinds of efforts are supported through fragmented efforts throughout a university and are not part of a focused, academically driven, planning process that is aligned with the academic affairs goals of the university. Through the use of a faculty committee, administrative buy-in from both the Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Chief Information Officer, a new organization was created that incorporates the development and support functions for faculty a wide range of areas, not just in the areas of technology. Included in this organization are three units: Instructional Design, Educational Support and Online Learning, and Faculty Growth and Development. This organization reports to the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs and activities are closely aligned with goals within Academic Affairs goals, as well as University and University System goals. By incorporating instructional design, online/blended learning, and faculty development activities into one organization there are multiple opportunities for close collaboration on major learning efforts and overall faculty support activities. Major initiatives are supported via this organization and include activities in the areas of lecture capture, faculty advising training, ongoing support for a teaching academy for distance learning, as well as the design and assessment of learning environments both online and on-campus. As a unit, this organization works to reduce the barriers that limit the ability to offer online and blended courses. One of the activities of this organization includes a distance learning task force that works through the operational issues that exist at a campus level and helps inform online and blended learning efforts at the institution. Through this organization a university distance learning strategic plan has been developed that outlines the plans for eliminating the differences between on-campus and online instruction. This presentation provides an overview of how the organization was formed, organizational activities, the lessons learned, as well as plans for the future. This model of support has been instrumental in the development of a distance learning strategic plan that incorporates both online and blended learning activities and that calls for the application of these technologies to both online and on-campus environments. The strength of this model is the collaboration between units as well as support at the level of senior leadership in these efforts.
