As a reminder, an email will typically be sent to your Cooper email address with notification of any postings, etc. in Blackboard, but you should be checking your Rowan email address routinely to ensure you are not receiving any important messages if you have not already set up automatic forward of emails; you will need your
Rowan login information to access Blackboard

Future faculty development session is in the works regarding copyright information; will be explored with the library faculty for future presentation

Discussion
 Copy of Joe Ferrarie’s presentation posted with these minutes

Echo360 Updates:
 Current proposed policy is that only lectures be recorded due to storage concerns; CMSRU is currently exceeded the allotted storage amounts which means we are paying out of pocket for additional uploads at this point in time
 Based on the statistics pulled by IT, an average of 33 students per session are utilizing Echo360 to view lectures and only an average of 2 students per session are utilizing
Echo360 to view non-lecture related postings

LectureTools:
 Preference is that LectureTools be utilized for lecture presentations as opposed to PowerPoint
 LectureTools offers many options not available in
PowerPoint (See 9-16-13 minutes and materials for
LectureTools demo)
 Reminder, animations cannot be displayed in LectureTools or Echo360 recordings, do not use animations within your slides

Join.me:
 Software will allow web-based conferencing and presentations
 Items can be recorded and shared

General reminder: course materials need to be posted one week in advance which means materials need to be submitted to education coordinators two weeks in advance

Committee members are Drs. Buono, Hector Lopez, Behling,
Goldman, Feingold, Westerberg and Mookerjee

Committee will proceed with reviewing data accordingly
Action

Support questions, etc. can be emailed to ferrarie@rowan.edu
