Report of the Provost's Committees On Line Learning

In September 2012, the Provost appointed two committees to advise the faculty and administration in devising a strategy in the area of on-line education—one focusing on courses for credit and the other on courses offered without credit. This report sets forth our recommendations for the University of Chicago in the short-run (i.e., two years) in connection with the following potential situations: (1) faculty of the University of Chicago who wish to offer classes either partially or entirely in an on-line format to students enrolled at the University of Chicago; (2) students who matriculate at the University of Chicago who wish to transfer credits toward a Chicago degree that include credits from on-line courses; (3) students who are not matriculated at the University of Chicago who take on-line courses offered by University of Chicago faculty and seek Chicago credit and (4) faculty who wish to offer courses without credit to students both at the University of Chicago and elsewhere.
