The Next Generation Course Redesign Project at the University of North Texas aims to redesign undergraduate classes to enhance student learning outcomes.  At the heart of the Next Gen Project are interdisciplinary faculty learning communities in which faculty nurture, mentor, and encourage each other.  NextGen courses are a blend of lecture, online, and experiential learning and are designed on a foundation of Student Learning Outcomes.

Dr. Phil Turner has been a classroom teacher, a librarian, a college professor, and the owner of an information company.    He served simultaneously as an academic dean and the lead administrator for distance and distributed learning for fifteen years at two institutions: The University of Alabama and the University of North Texas. Dr. Turner is currently serving as Professor Emeritus in the College of Information at the University of North Texas, and serves as a consultant to UNT’s Next Generation Course Redesign™ Project. 

He has written extensively on the subject of the application of technology to the teaching and learning process, especially in the area of planning and policy. In 1994, he was the second academic to receive the Annual Award for Achievement in Managing Information Technology sponsored by Carnegie Mellon University and American Management System.
