Distance learning has been one vehicle of course delivery at the Rochester Institute of Technology since the early 1990s. Building on the authors' experience in teaching completely online and blended (partly on-campus and partly online) courses to both undergraduate and graduate students, in diverse areas of computing, engineering, and technology, this paper explores issues in delivering online classes in these disciplines. One particular focus is on conveying the traditional in-class laboratory experience to a similar one in the online world while another focus is to leverage the modalities available in online to create newer and richer experiences for students and instructor. The paper presents the challenges and pitfalls in totally asynchronous learning, from assessment to assignments, from lectures to labs, and from participation to plagiarism. For each challenge, the authors provide examples of practices that succeeded, building on experience with those that did not. To place this work in perspective, the paper also examines related work in online computing and engineering education.

On-line instruction is becoming a key component of numerous academic programs, largely as a result of the Internet and the proliferation of personal computers in offices and homes. Everyday, more and more educational institutions are introducing new online courses. Computer and telecommunication technological advances have provided alternatives to the traditional classroom setting. The on-line learning environment facilitates a learner-centered approach to learning, with the learner as an active participant in the learning process. The approach requires that the teachers help learners to direct their own learning in ways that suit their individual learning styles. This manuscript describes development and implementation of a Web CT-based course which requires the engineering technology students at Excelsior College to develop online portfolios reflecting technical competencies acquired by them during their academic studies. The course is titled "Integrated Technology Assessment" (ITA). It is a capstone experience for students documenting their ability to integrate knowledge from technology and general education areas and apply it in a meaningful way. The manuscript provides a complete description of the ITA process at Excelsior College. Details regarding the use of information technology in creating the on-line learning environment for ITA students are also presented.

“…Distance learning provides excellent opportunities for students to acquire academic degrees from educational institutions while working at remote locations. [4] Although not yet "mainstream," on-line courses delivered over the Internet are becoming more common. [5] Educational institutions at all levels are looking at this form of delivery in the context of the future learning needs of their students.…”

At Excelsior College, one particularly unique dimension of student assessment is the Integrated Technology Assessment (ITA). This portfolio-based assessment method is a capstone experience for Engineering Technology students, documenting their ability to integrate knowledge from various technical and general education areas and apply it in a meaningful way.The on-line learning environment facilitates a learner-centered approach to learning, with the learner as an active participant in the learning process. The approach requires that the teachers help learners to direct their own learning in ways that suit their individual learning styles.This manuscript describes the development and implementation of a Web CT-based course which requires the nuclear engineering technology students at Excelsior College to develop online portfolios reflecting technical competencies acquired by them during their academic studies and through practical experience. It is a capstone requirement in which students document their ability to integrate knowledge from technology areas, general education, and practical experience in order that program outcomes are achieved.
