Call to Order by:   David Jordan  @ 12:30

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
