external funding.
How does your initiative address the college's Strategic Plan goal, or significantly improve student
learning?
Clarifying the information about our online and hybrid courses will allow students to make the best
decision for their educational paths.
What is your specific goal and measurable outcome?
Improve the clarity of the information provided to online students.
What is your action plan to achieve your goal?
Activity (brief description)
Work to come up with a standard section designation and
schedule notes for online and hybrid classes. Collaborate with
committees, deans, and VP to get this standard implemented
college-wide.
Work with ITS to clarify the CLASS-Web search for DE courses
to assist students in finding courses that meet their schedule
needs.
Look into how to clarify the Banner coding for DE courses in
the effort to accurately label courses as “DE” to fit college
needs, while still reporting the correct courses to the state.
