eConcordia ripe to grow as attention turns to online course delivery
Faced with increased demand for a greater variety of courses, eConcordia is ripe for expansion. It is anticipating the addition of four new courses in January with a goal of 35 within the next 24 months.
Patrick Kelley, executive in residence at the JMSB, has been brought in as a liaison with the faculties and to work on a business development plan for eConcordia as it enters this new phase. Kelley sees online courses as a necessary part of the education landscape, in a context where our current generation of students has grown up with computers. Theyre used to learning online and theres an expectation that institutions should provide material using this avenue, Kelley says. This year, the Globe and Mail used availability of course materials online as one of the criteria for its university report card.
