Évolution de la formation à distance dans une université bimodale

Abstract

In this paper, a case-study, the authors are portraying the evolution of Distance Education (DE) at Université Laval, Canada, a formerly single-mode institution that eventually became dual-mode. After reporting the key historical events, four issues are explored: the course development process, the five main course models, and the role of faculty in course delivery. The last issue deals with Berge & Muilenburg (2001) framework, in a discussion on how UL copes with the three main barriers to DE. As they conclude, the authors are wondering where the evolution of DE will bring dual-mode institutions.
