Blended Learning and the Bottom Line: How Northwestern’s Mediasite

Two years ago the prestigious Northwestern University Prosthetic-Orthotics Center (NUPOC) was facing a bottom line challenge: more students were looking to enroll in a program with limited resources and facilities. The Center made a bold move by completely transitioning to a blended learning format, integrating the most advanced educational technologies – including Mediasite – into the curriculum. NUPOC's combination of online instruction with onsite clinical coursework has fostered collaborative learning environments that increased the number of graduating practitioners while holding the line on administrative expenses.
