| Annotation | University-based educators focused on the study of gerontology and geriatrics have been increasing their use of distance education in order to meet challenges posed by shortages of faculty trained in gerontology, and the need to reach a larger, more diverse student body. The purpose of this article is to describe the Distance Learning Partnership in Gerontology, developed in Georgia, US, to promote collaboration and shared educational experiences in gerontology and geriatrics higher education. A brief overview of the principles and essential components of distance education is presented to provide an anchor for the discussion of the model. Following this overview, the rationale, design, preliminary faculty input, and current status of the georgia model are presented. (AKM). |
