Here are some facts about the CTER program
since it began in 1999. These questions were meant to provide more
background about CTER, from results we've received from pre-program,
mid-program, and post-program surveys given to CTER students.
What kinds of
backgrounds do CTER students have?
Note:
CTER students with double appointments were listed in both categories.
Note:
CTER students teaching more than one subject were listed in all
categories.

What attracted students to the CTER
program?
(Note:
The previous question was asked before students began
coursework in the CTER program.)
Students' Opinions After Completing
the CTER program:
"The flexibilty to work on courses when I had time made this
program very appealing. Many of my co-workers spent a lot of their
masters degree stuck in suburban traffic while driving to classes each
week. I loved that I could do my entire degree from my couch! I think
this program has also given me a lot of confidence as well."
"Really enjoyed the collaboration and friendship with
colleagues."
"I enjoyed the opportunity to establish great connections
with members of the cohort and to engage in the rigorous CTER Program
with suportive colleagues and CTER professors and staff."
"I liked the support from professors, interaction with
students in other areas, and the knowledge I gained in the use of
technology."
"I enjoyed the access I had to my instructors. My questions
were always answered within a day. That personal attention really
enhanced my educational experience. It was much more than a classroom
based experience could ever be."
"I really enjoyed the ability to work on my schedule-usually
very early in the mornings. I also liked the ability to interact with
others with technology via course management systems, email, and chat
boards."
"I enjoyed learning current technology and using it with my
students. It was a great experience!"
What do students think the strengths and
weaknesses of the CTER program are? (Results are totaled across the 6 CTER cohorts.)
How long does it take CTER students to
complete the degree?
Note:
The Preliminary Survey collected information about the time they
estimated that working
on the online courses would demand. The Mid and Post Program Surveys
show the actual time spent.
What are students' favorite elective
courses?

for the above table are still being accumulated as of January 4, 2004.)
