Abstract

This study presents initial findings from case studies conducted on 17 projects that implemented online educational elements into technical courses and programs. We describe how online elements are being implemented into technical education at community colleges. We discuss the findings in five key areas: program content, mode, domain, teaching strategy, and fidelity of experience.
