A fully online asynchronous 14-weekcourse delivery schedule was found to be more effective, although this was not what was reportedduring the initial stakeholder surveys. Finally, the hiring of a single, well-qualified recruiter/advisorhas been valuable. Working professionals prefer to have a single point of contact on the programrather than being required to contact numerous university offices for questions on applying,registering, and financing their programs.Bibliography 1.

This study aims to identify the relationship between specific spaceenablers (and barriers) to reveal elements of a design that should be present (or absent) at varying stages.A challenge in designing this study is the tacit aspect of the space that may not necessarily be obvious toparticipants, which in itself could be a unique finding.
