Insook Lee & Yeonwook Im
Abstract
The purpose
of this study was to explore and propose
an academic administration and organizational
model in order to enhance the educational
quality of digital distance universities.
This study employed a comprehensive cross
analysis of a diverse set of information
including literature review, analysis of
international distance universities, survey
of expert opinions, benchmark analysis of
domestic distance education enterprises,
and survey of distance universities. The
suggested model that evolved shows that
distance universities should be equipped
with detailed services on both the faculty
and staff sides of academic administration,
instruction-learning support, student aid,
and educational evaluation, and that these
services also need support in the form of
organization. The model also emphasizes
flexibility and dynamism that connects services
and organizations and enables timely provision
of services and top-level receptiveness.
