Items Discussed:
1. Discuss Substantive Change proposal - The Committee discussed how to develop process of discussions
about online degrees. The
Committee felt that some classes are better taught on campus because of low
success rates, and inherent problems of plagiarism.
The Committee suggested proposing a few questions to be included in program
review and to obtain response from Department Chairs and Vice-Chairs to
determine the interest in having entirely online degrees and/or certificates.
The Committee suggested the following
two questions:
1.
What are the implications of online/hybrid instruction for your discipline ?
(Please explain advantages/disadvantages/limitations
)
2. If
the college offered online or hybrid degrees would your discipline offer a
class or component of that degree ? (Please
support your response )
The VPAA agreed to add these two questions for review by the Department Chairs
and Vice-Chairs in the next Council of Instruction meeting of chairs, and it
was suggested that the EPC discuss and include it in the program review.
Next meetings: 11/17/10 and 12/15/10
