The Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign has started a distance education program called LEEP3. The program is intended to provide the same educational content as on-site courses. The task at hand: We had to select methods of delivery, cope with CD-ROMS, software, conferencing, and other methods of delivery to serve the distance students just as well as our residential students. You will learn about our successes and failures.
