Vision, Mission and Goals
Our Vision
The Great Plains IDEA serves the vision of higher
education in which strategic inter-institutional academic alliances
allow institutions working together to field graduate programs that
are greater in reach and significance than any single institution
could field alone, that manage institutional and shared resources
in highly efficient ways, and that enrich the teaching experience
for faculty and the learning experience for students.
Mission
The mission of the Great Plains Interactive Distance
Education Alliance is to serve the faculty and administrators of
member institutions by offering workshops, recommending standards,
sharing practices and disseminating policy issues and recommendations
to allow member institutions to offer educational programs with
other institutions more easily and thereby give students and professionals
access to more high quality educational experiences.
Goals
- Provide quality educational programs for human sciences professionals
at distance sites.
- Develop a model collaboration that can be replicated successfully
by other consortia.
- Contribute to the scholarship on distance education in order
to advance the endeavor for all.
- Offer opportunities that make teaching invigorating for faculty
and learning engaging for students.
