Disruptive Innovation
How Time Flies
In August, it was my privilege to attend the 27th annual Distance Teaching and Learning conference in Madison, Wisconsin. Ive served on the planning committee for the three-day conference for 20 years. The nearly 1000 practitioners from around the world included administrators, teachers, support staff, instructional designers, graduate students, and trainers representing universities, technical colleges, K-12 institutions, businesses, and the military. What a great opportunity to learn from a wide variety of people with a wealth of different experiences. As I presented administrative best practices in distance education to over 140 people, I saw smiles, frowns, excitement, confusion, animated conversations, blank stares, and a host of emotions. Everyone processed the information according to their experience (or lack of experience) with distance education. Many were new to the field and focused on the basic questions. Given my 25-year university career, it made me realize how quickly time flies and how many changes have occurred during that time. Keynote speaker, Lee Crockett addressed the topic of distance education in the age of disruptive innovation this period of rapid change, where new technologies are constantly displacing previous methods of both teaching and delivery systems. Various industries have experienced disruptive innovation over the past century and continue to experience it today. I truly believe that disruptive innovation will also dramatically impact education (at all levels). So, if you are thinking, Ill just wait until things settle down before I continue my education, think again. Things are not likely to settle down. Disruptive innovation is all around us and the speed of change continues to increase. It is certainly important to be realistic when planning how to successfully continue your education, but there will never be a perfect time to start. The years roll by more quickly as you age, so take the time today to make your commitment to continuing your education.

Magazine recognizes UW-Platteville as Military Friendly school

The University of Wisconsin-Platteville Online has been designated a Military Friendly School for the third year in a row by G.I. Jobs Magazine, a journal covering higher education for the 8 million military members and veterans seeking a school. The list includes the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that do the most for Americas veterans when they transition to students. Criteria included academic strength, on-campus and online advice, support provided to veterans and their families, and the effectiveness of a schools distance learning programs. The final list, which included UWPlatteville, was compiled from a survey of more than 8,000 schools. The competition was fierce and as a result we raised the already stringent criteria to a higher benchmark, said Rich McCormack, publisher of G.I. Jobs magazine. Veterans need a trusted friend to help them decide where to get educated. The Military-Friendly Schools list is that trusted friend.

University of WisconsinPlatteville named Best school for Online Education

The University of Wisconsin-Platteville earned a platinum (first place) award and named the Best School for Online Education in the Best of Wisconsin Business competition sponsored by Corporate Report Wisconsin. This is the second consecutive year the university and its Distance Learning Center have earned the award. All the credit goes to our dedicated staff and, of course, our more than 2,500 students. We wouldnt be here without them, said Dawn Drake, executive director of the Distance Learning Center. More than 2,600 voters chose three winners in each of the Best contests 30 categories. From that top three, the organization receiving the most votes in its respective category earned the Platinum Award. UWPlatteville also earned a Gold Award (second place) for Best Continuing Education. Visit GoUWP.com, go to About Us and click Media Relations to see more news from UW-Platteville Online.

staff changes in the Distance Learning Center

Jen Mandurano became Dawn Drakes administrative assistant in August, as Stephanie Cooley is now a functional analyst for the new student information system. Cheryl Lange joined the DLC in July as an editor for both print and online courses. Cameo Updike is advising some of our business administration students and Joni Nechvatal advises undergraduate criminal justice students and provides outreach for criminal justice graduate students. Karen Adams is the DLCs new corporate marketing manager. She replaces Les Hollingsworth who is teaching in the UW-Platteville Department of Business and Accounting. Previously, Karen was the director of communications for the Greater Dubuque Development Corporation. With the departure of assistant director, Shenita Ray, the DLC is restructuring and hiring a director of distance education this fall to oversee marketing and student services. As a UW-Platteville University Fellow, Shenita will teach for the Department of Business and Accounting and complete a project for the Department of Education while she earns her PhD.

Faculty News
Susan Hansen, Professor of Business Administration, has been appointed Chair of the Department of Business and Accounting. Susan teaches both online and on campus and is a past coordinator for the BSAD distance education program. Scott Wright, PhD, PE, Assistant Professor of Project Management, has earned his Project Management Professional (PMP) credential. Scott is the first employee of UW-Platteville to receive the credential from Project Management Institute (PMI). See p. 17 to read more. Terry Liska, Professor of Economics, has retired from UW-Platteville. For 31 years, he taught economics and business statistics on campus. In the mid-1980s, he began teaching courses via the print delivery system, and for the past several years, Terry taught online courses. One of his most memorable experiences in distance education came just a few years ago when one of his incarcerated students asked Terry to speak at his graduation ceremony held at Redgranite Correctional Institution. Interestingly, a lot of my incarcerated print students have been my very best and brightest students. There is a lot of value in continuing to offer print-based courses and provide that opportunity. Distance education is part of Terrys retirement plans as it allows him to teach from his lakeside home where he enjoys all activities on, in, or beneath the water.

Experience counts
Coordinator Profile
Its somewhat of a homecoming for Dana Cecil, new coordinator for the bachelors degree in criminal justice program. I get to work with students through the program that helped shape my career path and that I have a lot of respect for, Dana says. Im looking forward to aligning the program so students receive the same experience, regardless if its online or on campus. While pursuing her own degree, she would never be without her trusted daily planner filled with every due date, assignment, and discussion connected with each of her color-coded courses. The online program absolutely requires self-discipline, but if youre able to manage time, its a wonderful opportunity to fit school in your life, Dana says. If the online program wouldnt have been available, my search for a program and school would have been much more lengthy and difficult. Shell rely heavily on her experience as an online student to lead others through their academic journeys. For now, Im going to coordinate the online program with the tools and information provided to me, but Ill also be taking a look at things from a fresh perspective, Dana says. Originally from Wiota, located in southeastern Lafayette County, Wisconsin, Dana earned her bachelors degrees in criminal justice and biology from UWPlatteville in 2006. She then worked in retail security and compliance training while she earned her online masters degree in criminal justice in 2010. Tom jensen

If theres something that will benefit the program, then Ill work to incorporate that. Dana Cecil

Thanks to Amy Nemmetz for her contributions to the BSCJ program and best wishes in her new position as UW-Platteville First Year Experience Director.

Program expands credit pact with technical college

The BSCJ program has expanded its credit transfer agreement with Lakeshore Technical College, Cleveland, Wisconsin. The UW-Platteville has added constitutional law and criminal law to its list of courses that will transfer to its bachelors degree program from Lakeshores Criminal Justice - Law Enforcement program. Increasing the number of transferable courses from two to four demonstrates the commitment by both our institutions to students, says Amy Nemmetz, former coordinator for the program. And its our responsibility to provide them, whether theyre online or on campus, with every opportunity to succeed. This does just that. Tom Jensen

Lottery career in the cards for BsCJ student

Student Profile
Scott Brown and lady luck are fairly close. Hes one of only two lottery investigators for the Wisconsin Department of Revenue and after a few starts and stops, is just a statistics course away from earning his bachelors degree in criminal justice. It was always eating at me that I didnt finish, Scott says. Most days Scott, originally from Madison, fields questions from players and the 4,800 retailers who offer the Wisconsin Lottery. He occasionally investigates fraud and theft or aids in larger inquiries, but for the most part he works hard to keep a low profile. Im sort of a fire extinguisher when theres a problem, and if your name isnt in the paper, its a good day. Working in Wisconsins prison system for 10 years in various positions, including youth counselor and sergeant, Scott started pursuing his bachelors degree in 1992 at Edgewood College, Madison. He realized, however, that learning in a classroom was claustrophobic and started taking online criminal justice courses at UW-Platteville in 2008. It was a blessing because I just couldnt sit in a classroom anymore. There were sometimes 200 students in one class and it was hard for your voice to be heard. But when youre online: boom, youre heard. Like all UW-Platteville Online students, Scott appreciated the support and motivation by faculty, especially Gary Apperson, a retired police officer who teaches online from Alaska. Apperson often tutored Scott on writing A papers for any course in the program. Scott advises online students to understand their limitations and consider starting with just one class. Learning online can be intimidating at first, but just keep chipping away and dont expect things to happen overnight. Dont leave it on the table until you change your mind. Tom Jensen

Flexibility is key to students success

Pioneer Profile
Flexibility is built into every UW-Platteville Online course, and no one appreciates that more than Amanda Mohr, whose road to furthering her education was filled with detours. It seemed like it would take forever to complete, says Amanda. I remember many late nights writing papers and wishing I could fast forward to the end. Now that Im done, I cant wait to take more classes to stay current with whats going on in the field since we can learn something new each and every day. Amandas journey started when she graduated from Edgewood College, in Madison, Wisconsin, with a psychology degree. The problem, however, was that she longed to work directly in criminal justice but the state of Wisconsin had just imposed a hiring freeze. Undeterred, Amanda kept looking and applied for a criminal justice position at the federal level. Alas, she needed a masters degree. Thats when she found UW-Platteville Online. Narrowly meeting the registration deadline, she started graduate level criminal justice courses in the fall of 2009. I could still obtain my degree without uprooting my entire life, Amanda says. I enjoyed being a part of a classroom with a variety of students from all walks of life with various experiences in the field. With a masters degree in hand, she applied and was selected for a federal internship where she tracked and prepared collateral reports for pretrial and presentence investigations. While interning, she job shadowed a U.S. Marshal, traveled to a federal prison, visited several halfway houses, and networked with criminal justice professionals throughout the United States. The internship provided something far beyond what a textbook can do. It challenged me to broaden my horizons and learn to take risks. The positive takeaways for learning online are many. For Amanda, she learned to evaluate the gray area versus something in black and white. Everyone has a different walk of life and everyone learns differently. Tom Jensen

Advancing your education: Confirm its the right move for you
Its a widely held belief that a down economy indicates the right time to further your education, whether that means attending college for the very first time, finishing a degree you started long ago, or earning a masters degree. The economy, however, should not be the only barometer you monitor as you pursue your degree. Recalling why you had a desire to return to school and why you chose the program youre in may be the most important factors in your academic success.
Karen Adams Corporate Marketing Director

education. Youll notice, however, that all of these reasons are driven by your future needs and/or desires not those of your spouse, your parents, your boss, or your children. Youve made the decision that is right for you for your life based on your own needs and desires. For example, Perry Thuli recently earned his degree and was able to transition from the construction industry to a position with a major insurance company. (See p. 23 for Perrys story). As a result of completing my degree, I gained a tremendous amount of self-satisfaction and am able to continue and expand my career, says Perry. As you progress toward your goals, know that our advisors and student services staff are here to serve you throughout your time as a distance education student at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. After all, your success is our success. Karen Adams

Take a good look at your motive: are you working on your degree because youre unemployed or underemployed? Do you want to move up within your company, but are lacking the degree to advance? Maybe you want the opportunity to earn more money. Is a career change in your future goals? Perhaps you are one of those people who simply love school a life-long learner by choice. All of these are fantastic reasons to pursue an advanced degree via distance

New masters degrees continue tradition of real-world, online learning

The University of Wisconsin-Platteville has added three online Master of Science degrees to its curriculum: Organizational Change Leadership (OCL), Distance Education Leadership (DEL) and Integrated Supply Chain Management (ISCM). UW-Platteville Online is accepting applications for all three of the new programs. Its paramount that we provide our students with programs that dont focus just on their needs today, but will benefit them for careers in the cutting-edge industries of tomorrow, says Dawn Drake, Executive Director of Alternative Delivery Systems. The masters degree in organizational change leadership explores the nature of change, the origins of resistance, communication strategies, and sustaining change. 14
www.uwplatt.edu/disted I Traditional Excellence. Online Convenience.

Students can choose electives such as leadership, innovation and creativity, strategic thinking and planning, behavioral economics, and quality improvement. Its well-suited for human resource or organization development professionals engaged in change practices, as well as managers who need to demonstrate leadership in their current organizations, says OCL Program Coordinator Elizabeth Swift.

Ms Organizational Change Leadership Ms Integrated supply Chain Management Ms Distance Education Leadership

A masters degree in integrated supply chain management is a one-of-a-kind degree that covers how to design, plan, execute, control, and monitor a companys activities to bring efficiency to its supply chain. Organizations often engage business partners around the world to meet customer demand. We blend the content of the courses with a students professional experience so they can use what theyve learned immediately, says David Heimerdinger, ISCM Program Coordinator. The first new course developed for the ISCM degree will be offered Spring 2012:

education programs. Budgeting, faculty development, student support services, marketing/recruitment, and other business facets of running a distance program will be included. And while it focuses on higher education, professionals in K-12 distance education, corporate, and military settings will also benefit. Electives include courses in technology, conflict resolution and negotiation, and legal issues. The new programs are a direct result of requests by students and industries. All three graduate programs will help students hone their leadership skills, while also learning about business, industry, and education trends and how best to incorporate these newly learned skills into their jobs and organizations, says Dawn Drake. Tom Jensen

International Supply Chain Management (ISCM 7100) This course focuses on the importance of international supply chain management. It provides an overview of international logistics, global strategy for logistics and supply chain management, as well as structuring of the global supply chain. The international trade environment, total cost approach of materials, competitive relationships among international organizations, exchange fluctuations, practices of import/export, and other related topics will be explored.

The masters degree in distance education leadership (which launches fall 2012) is a ground-breaking program that allows students to move into more advanced administrative positions within distance education. As the world of online education continues to grow exponentially, its important that UW-Platteville provide learning opportunities for professionals to plan, manage, develop, and lead these efforts. This program will focus on the leadership and management aspects of distance

Ms PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Working effectively in virtual teams
Group exercises and virtual team work, critical parts of the MSPM experience, prepare each graduate to perform effectively as a leader or member of a project team. Project teams, virtual or co-located, are becoming a norm in the global workplace. The demands of assignments and the dynamics of each team will vary, just as projects and sponsor requirements vary in practice. Maximize your effectiveness on team assignments by considering and applying the following: Take your role seriously. Each role you handle in each group assignment is critical to the groups success. If you are the leader, take the reins and lead. If you are the recorder, take ownership for producing a high-quality group product. Allocate more time than you think may be necessary - tell your family. Do not underestimate the time commitments necessary to participate effectively in the group work. Communicate clearly with your groups about your availability, commitments and constraints. If you have periods where your participation will be decreased due to work or a personal constraint, communicate this, and compensate before or after the constraint is past. Take the peer/self-evaluation process seriously. In the PM courses, these evaluations have an important effect on grades. Earn high peer evaluations by being a strong team member, just as you would on a project in your current or future job. Hold others accountable for their performance and contributions as well. Use technology. Conference calls, group chats, other online collaboration tools, and plain old e-mail are all capable of maximizing group collaboration enabling even the most time-constrained student to participate effectively. Make realistic commitments. Be honest with yourself about your goals, constraints, and overall life balance as you schedule your degree plan and semester schedules. If you cannot be an effective group member because you are over-committed, you are doing yourself and your group a disservice. Shawn Belling

Virtual team collaboration offers valuable skills

Pioneer Profile
Success is tied to good communication, and MSPM alum Kristine Westra (2007) knows it. As an online student, she quickly learned she needed to reach out to classmates and instructors. Online, you dont have the same opportunity as you have in the traditional classroom to overhear others conversations and questions, says Kristine. You need to put in the effort to do the communicating. For Kristine, the best aspect of the online education at UW-Platteville was the collaboration. She enjoyed working with classmates who lived around the United States and the world, and valued learning through exposure to the diversity of her classmates experiences and cultures. As a Project Lead Supervisor at the Great Lakes Higher Education Corporation in Madison, Wisconsin, Kristine manages several off-site direct reports. She credits the team assignments in the online program for introducing her to virtual teams and giving her the skills and experience needed to effectively manage her team. (For tips on working in virtual teams, see page 16.) Almost all of our courses have the team component, says MSPM Program Coordinator, Bill Haskins. For a new student coming into the program, working on these virtual teams is certainly an eye-opener ... and the skills that are acquired are very useful. Most students will discover they are more likely to be doing project work in a virtual team, rather than a co-located team. Having earned her bachelors degree from UW-Madison, Kristines awareness of the prestige of UW schools influenced her decision to attend UW-Platteville. She couldnt take time off work to attend a campus-based program, but the online program offered the needed flexibility to successfully complete her MSPM degree and taught her skills she uses every day.

Assistant professor earns PMP credential

Scott Wright, PhD, PE, Assistant Professor of Project Management, is the first employee at UW-Platteville to receive the Project Management Professional (PMP) credential from the Project Management Institute (PMI). Prior to my career transition to higher education, I was fortunate in my public and private sector experience to have accumulated the thousands of hours of non-overlapping project management experience, as well as the required education, to sit for the exam, says Scott. In my opinion, credentialing in ones professional discipline is important and demonstrates competency and commitment. Globally recognized and demanded, the PMP demonstrates that an individual has the experience, education and competency to successfully lead and direct projects.

student applies coursework to NAsA job

Pioneer Profile
On August 24, 2011, the day after an earthquake surprised the east coast, Todd Thornes reported that all was well at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Good news for the facility, as they had prepared for a special arrival that day: the cargo module for the Cygnus spacecraft, the largest spacecraft Wallops has ever been chosen to launch, which will carry supplies to the International Space Station. To support the Taurus II program, weve undertaken a myriad of construction projects including new facilities and a new launch pad, requiring a massive design effort and continuous construction monitoring. Anything less than perfection could shut down the program, Todd says. He is occasionally called in on special Quality Assurance assignments, such as a project which used a simulated capsule for the manned space program to test an alternate launch abort system. Todd has worked for the safety and mission assurance branch at the facility since 2007, completing safety projects related to facilities and launch vehicles, and he routinely performs hazard analysis, attends design reviews, and assists with the procurement of equipment. While life circumstances meant many stops and starts for Todd as he tried to pursue his masters degree, as of 2008, he has been committed to completing his coursework. Taking one course a semester lets me do the high quality of work I want to without burning myself out, especially when my job necessitates working occasional evenings and weekends, Todd says. NASA requires Todd to justify the applicability of each course to his job, which has been easy given his work in the quality and safety area. He plans to move into supervisory responsibilities and program management. While those jobs require only a bachelors degree, he has seen where a masters degree differentiates applicants. The first course I took was Engineering Communications, which was an excellent entry point to the degree. It laid the foundation for the other classes and made me more comfortable with the program itself. Quality Engineering and Management (ENGRG 7820) was fantastic. While the term quality originally applied to manufacturing and meant meeting inspections, now the term is applied to everything, and I couldnt understand how I could be involved in everything. That class filled in the gaps for me and gave me greater understanding of how specific areas of QA relate to my job at NASA. I wasnt sure if I could do distance education well, but Ive been pleasantly surprised by the way its administered and by the quality of the professors. The program has brought out an element in me I wasnt sure was there its proved that I can read and comprehend material on my own Im not just a classroom learner, Todd says. The students come from every type of company from electronics to mechanical systems. They provide many values and viewpoints to the discussions that Id never consider otherwise. Christine Hawkinson

You may also contact our interlibrary loan department for assistance at 608.342.1648. What happens when the Karrmann Library does not own the title you want or doesnt have a book on your topic? You might find what you need by exploring other links on the Karrmann Library home page. For example, you might search WorldCat, a national library catalog listing the holdings of all major research libraries across the country and even abroad. Heres how: 1. Click the link Articles, Full-Text and more ... 2. Scroll down and select WorldCat. This allows you to search for information in hundreds of libraries with one convenient search. 3. Enter the information for your search. 4. Click the link for the book you want. In the External Resources section, click Request item through ILLiad, and provide the required information. It may take about two to three weeks to receive your book, depending on the location of the holding library and available copies for loan.

support systems: people who are proud of us

When I am not working at the Distance Learning Center helping UW-Platteville online students achieve their goals, I am working toward my own. Like you, I am an online student, so I know first-hand how important it is to have an excellent support system. Mine includes my DLC colleagues, my friends, my family, and my husband. I honestly do not know where I would be in terms of my educational career if it were not for each and every one of them. I know that I am not alone when I say that I need support when I am feeling overwhelmed and am not sure how I can continue to move forward. My supporters also notice when I am taking on too much by wanting to rush to finish, and they remind me that I should maintain a steady pace. When my husband and I first talked about me enrolling in an online graduate program, he of course had some concerns, but overall was very supportive of the decision. I did have my own concerns as well while he said he was going to be supportive, I was not sure if he knew just what type of sacrifices he would need to make, and what I would need from him. After what seems like eons of courses (in reality its been about three years), I asked him how he thought he supported me. At first he was serious, stating that he lets me have my space, understands that I need late nights and weekends of study time, and that we cannot be nearly as spontaneous with weekend trips and nights out as we used to be. But, I had to laugh when he said that his increase in video gaming was another way to support me and then asked what I was planning to do after I graduate in May. With all joking aside, he really has been very supportive, and knowing that I dont have to worry about how he is doing and if he is okay with all of these changes (such as learning the art of making sandwiches for dinner), I am able to focus more on school and feel positive while I am moving forward. Sometimes support does not come to us in the form of a cheerleader or a motivational life coach, but from the people that we are with every day, who are proud of us and want to see us succeed. And if you ever need a little extra support, know that all of us at the DLC are pulling for all of you; we want to see you succeed and become alumni of UW-Platteville. amy griswold

Building a future
Pioneer Profile
Education and professional experience have been ongoing and interchangeable in Perry Thulis life. When he left UWPlatteville at age 20 to become part owner in a motel chain, he had no idea almost 30 years would pass before he completed his bachelors degree. Notably, there is an unplanned benefit of the timing. At my age its nice having a degree with updated informationtechnology has changed and this makes a big difference, Perry says. In January of 2010, Perry put his construction business on hold and made the commitment to complete his degree. My wife was hugely supportive. We used savings to pay for school, says Perry. It was a big decision and it took some time to come to that decisionwhen I weighed the value of the degree, the opportunity lost, the cost versus what I got in the endI get a lot of self-satisfaction and its really hard to put a dollar amount on that. Through a combination of online and print-based courses, Perry completed the degree, graduating in December of 2010. The online discussions with classmates helped clarify the course material and give a broad context of application. The type of student involved in the online program coming back to school after having worked, bringing life experience and work experience to the classroom makes a big difference. You could see the course content from a lot of different perspectives. You probably get a broader class discussion than you would in a classroom of younger students ... there is more of a willingness to share, says Perry. Perry encourages his nieces, nephews and others contemplating school to go for it. I believe having a formal education is important, which is why I wanted to finish. Anyone even considering doing it should do it! Denise LaBudda

At my age its nice having a degree with updated information technology has changed the way business operates and this makes a big difference. Perry Thuli

Post script: After this article was written, Perry was offered a position to take over an existing agency for American Family Insurance beginning October 3, 2011. In the follow-up correspondence, Perry said, Finishing the degree was absolutely the correct decision. The degree helped to open the door to future opportunity.

DONT BE A VICTIM OF TExTBOOk BAIT AND sWITCH!

Do not order the international edition of your course textbook. Ten percent of our students enrolled in Global Business have learned that if it sounds too good to be true, it is. While the international versions may be cheaper, they will not be compatible with your courses. Unfortunately, book sellers dont care if you get the correct book. If you do an online search for your textbook using the ISBN, you can be directed to a site selling the international version. To be sure you get the text you need, read all information carefully and match the ISBN to the version being sold.

What is an IsBN?
Every book has a unique International Standard Book Number (ISBN). Just like different editions of the same textbook have different ISBNs, the international edition of a textbook will also have a unique ISBN. Always check the ISBN listed for your course textbook to ensure you purchase the text for which your course was written.
