| Summary: | The effects of instructor implemented course planning and delivery strategies specific to the Doc-at-a-Distance Joint Doctoral program were studied. This unique doctoral program is a joint effort between two Texas universities, Texas A&M University, College Station, and Texas Tech University, Lubbock. Nineteen joint graduate faculty members are currently engaged in providing instruction, participating as committee members, and contributing administratively in this program. Nine of the 19 joint faculty members whose interviews were used for this study have participated as instructors from the inception of the program in Fall 2000 to the Fall 2001 semester. The program initially had a cohort of 20 students; however, two students terminated the program due to legitimate personal reasons. The remaining 18 students were taking courses at the same time over a four-year period. Twelve sites are connected via Trans-Texas Videoconference Network (TTVN). Results from this study provided necessary changes to revise, improve, and model the program's instructional design, delivery strategies, and joint faculty technical skills. Recommendations were made for future programs modeled after Doc-at-a-Distance. |
