ADU Services realizes that in the evolving world of online education, educational institutions are seeking ways to build quality online courses and reach a larger audience. ADU Services works with educational institutions to widen their student base and allow students, teachers and experts the ability to communicate without boundaries in sharing and germinating ideas within a networked learning community.

With the growing influence of online learning, including MOOCs and other resources, educators are compelled to "do it themselves". Faculty are forced to divert their attention to creating online courses and institutions are forced to spend time and money in re-inventing the wheel.

MOOCs are presently focused on the top-tier colleges and universities and collaborating with them to expand reach across the globe. The financial model for providing MOOCs and the impact on their traditional program is also undergoing an evolution.

But, Is MOOCs the right approach for community colleges?

ADU Services has nearly a decade of experience in collaboratively working with institutions and faculty to create online and/or blended courses which captures the faculty's imagination and reflects the institutions spirit that is purposeful to the students. While we are a strong believer in "blended" education, we shall respect the client's view on how the courses should be designed, fully online or with in-class sessions.

ADU Services’ history has validated an operational model that creates a gainful transition for curriculum delivery: The model is based on a Blended approach.

We can work in tandem with the faculty and create e-learning that aids the teacher and makes learning outcome more positive for the students while reducing operating costs;

Purpose is not to make the teacher redundant, but support their pedagogical thoughts in shaping a course that they want to own and deliver.

Identify your business need for cost reduction and quality improvement and we can provide a partnership service that is uniquely to your needs.
