Creating Active Learning Applications and Opportunities for an On-Line Leadership Course (Report‪)‬

INTRODUCTION The growing popularity and acceptance of web-delivered education make it an attractive and desired option for expanding the educational opportunities available to students (Petrides, 2002; Rivera & Rice, 2002; Robinson & Stull, 2006). Not surprisingly, institutions of higher learning are actively expanding web-based distance education offerings as a means of capturing increased course demand and student population (Hunt, 2005, Rivera & Rice, 2002; Waits & Lewis, 2003). Northern Arizona University (NAU) is no different. The W. A. Franke College of Business (FCB) at NAU developed on-line course offerings to support a state-wide Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree to meet the needs of Arizona's place-bound students. This article describes the development of one of these on-line courses, MGT 311 Leadership.
