DISTANCE LEARNING CLASSES
Courses already approved by the Curriculum Committee require an additional review and approval in order to
be taught as distance learning classes, defined as classes “in which the instructor and student are separated
by distance and interact through the assistance of communication technology “(Title 5, 55370). The purpose of
this separate review and approval is to ensure that classes taught by means of distance learning have the
same quality, rigor and intensity as other classes. In order to encourage experimentation and accommodate
limited timelines, classes may be taught once by means of distance learning before being approved by the
Curriculum Committee. The Committee, however, must be informed before the course is scheduled.
1. Course for which approval is being sought: MATH 106 - Elementary Algebra at the KT
Campus
2. Maximum class size for the distance learning section: 35
3. Please specify what communication technologies will be used for this class and how:
The internet will be used to deliver course content. The internet will also be used
for office hours. There will be an aide present to answer questions and help with
technical questions.
4. How many hours of instruction will be delivered by means of these technologies?
97.54
5. How many hours of instruction will be provided in person by the faculty member? 0
Note: Instructors of transfer level classes must meet with the class in person “on some regular basis.”“
Instructors of other classes must simply “maintain regular contact.”
6. What forms of supplementary communication will be used and to what extent (e.g.,
telephone, e-mail, regular mail, computer bulletin board, newsletters)?
We will be using webboard (threaded discussion group) and email. There will be
an instructional aide on site. The main software/content is "the Learning
Equation" by Brooks-Cole Publishing.
7. Please specify the reasons this course is appropriate for delivery by distance education:
Klamath Trinity cannot offer Math 106 every semester. The campus gets 11 to 15
students in the spring that must wait til the next fall to take the course.
8. Please specify the changes that will be made in the delivery and conduct of the class in
order to maintain its quality: The software package has an outstanding set of
problems, presentations, and exploratioons. If we had the facilities at the Eureka
Campus, we would consider using it here.
