There is evidence that the context for learning is undergoing a metamorphosis, and that distance learning is becoming a viable option for furthering one's higher education. Advances in technology, academic research, pedagogical innovation, the increase in the chronological age, maturity level and personal commitments of the average college student, and geography and demography have led to a substantial alteration in the structure of the learning environment. The purpose of this workshop is to aid the participants and their institutions to deliver better online courses from the points of view of the institutions, the professors, and the students. By familiarizing the faculty primarily from smaller institutions who might not have the opportunity to readily share research about the issues and concerns of distance learning with others, we will also be providing a network for future research for our participants. The workshop will include the following with respect to online education: discussions and projects of how to teach mathematics and science courses, and of associated generic issues, and a substantial component of lab time, both guided and open. Mercy's successful online educational system, MerLIN, will be used as a working example throughout the duration of the project. Our follow-through activities will include a reconnoitering of the participants to share results of how they integrated the information provided into their courses, a dissemination package consisting of a sixty-minute edited video tape of the workshop, two study papers, and information of where to find resources on the Internet with regard to the virtual university. In addition we will establish a repository of information regarding the teaching of online courses that will be available on the Internet. The second year of this workshop series will be taught using distance learning giving participants the added advantage of experiencing this instructional mode from the student's perspective.

有证据表明，学习环境正在发生变化，远程学习正在成为一种可行的选择，以促进一个人的高等教育。 技术进步、学术研究、教学创新、大学生平均实际年龄、成熟程度和个人承诺的增加，以及地理和人口统计学，导致学习环境的结构发生了重大变化。 该研讨会的目的是帮助参与者及其机构从机构，教授和学生的角度提供更好的在线课程。 通过熟悉教师主要来自较小的机构谁可能没有机会随时分享有关远程学习的问题和关注的研究与他人，我们也将提供一个网络，为我们的参与者未来的研究。 研讨会将包括以下关于在线教育：讨论和项目如何教数学和科学课程，以及相关的一般问题，以及实验室时间的实质性组成部分，包括指导和开放。 Mercy成功的在线教育系统MerLIN将在整个项目期间用作工作示例。 我们的后续活动将包括考察参与者，以分享他们如何将所提供的信息纳入其课程的结果，一个包括讲习班60分钟编辑录像带的传播包，两份研究论文，以及在互联网上如何找到有关虚拟大学的资源的信息。 此外，我们将建立一个关于在线课程教学的信息库，可在互联网上查阅。 本系列研讨会的第二年将采用远程教学，让参与者从学生的角度体验这种教学模式的额外优势。
