1. Program/Discipline Changes
Has there been any change in the status of your program or area since your last Annual Update? (Have you shifted departments?
Have new degrees or certificates been created by your program? Have activities in other programs impacted your area or program?
For example, a new nursing program could cause greater demand for life-science courses.)
Note: curricular changes should be addressed under 12 (Curriculum).
No (go to next question)
Yes (describe the changes below):
The series of classes listed as LIBR are new. We are currently offering two classes; LIBR-5 (Research Skills) and LIBR-99A (Book
of the Year Discussion Group.) Both classes are currently being taught face-to-face and online.

2. Program/Discipline Trends
Review and analyze the Enrollment data (Table 2.01) provided by Institutional Research and answer the following questions:
Table 2.01 Enrollments
Number of students enrolled at census date
For the purposes of these charts here, course sections have been broken down by class start time. The definitions for each start time
are as follows:
 Early Morning
Before 10:00AM
 Prime Time
From 10:00AM to 2:30PM
 Late Afternoon
From 2:30PM to 5:30PM*/6:00PM
 Evening
5:30PM*/6:00PM and later
 Weekend
Saturday or Sunday classes
 TBA
No scheduled start time
* Evening is defined differently for semesters prior to Fall 2009
Each classification was weighted according to the following schedule:
 Weekend
 Evening
 Late Afternoon
 Early Morning
 Prime Time
If a section had start times that fell into more than one category, it would be placed in the higher weighted category. For example, if a
section met on a Saturday and started at 10:30AM, it would be considered a Weekend section.

a. Describe how changes in the discipline or area are impacting the data shown in the table above.
There is not enough data to address this question.
b. Describe how changes outside the discipline or area are impacting the data shown in the table above.
Library 99A (the online section) was offered by the college for the first time in S09. In contrast to a F2F (face-to-face) course
offering, students enrolled in an online class need a high degree of discipline and superior time management skills in order to be
successful. When compared to Library 99 (the F2F section offered in F08), the lower success rate for Library 99A may be due to
these factors. The college's recent expansion online may also be a factor in the sense that our target audience may not have much
online academic experience.
Review and analyze the Enrollment data (Table 2.03) provided by Institutional Research and answer the following questions:

a. Describe how changes in the discipline or area are impacting the data shown in the table above.
With one year of data to work with, there is no trend to report, other that retention is very good
b. Describe how changes outside the discipline or area are impacting the data shown in the table above.
Expansion in online instruction will require a more directed approach for development of student support systems to assure online
students are getting the same educational experience as f2f students.

Program and Course Learning Outcomes
Refer to the assessment analysis forms that track discipline meetings held to summarize and discuss SLO assessment. Use that information to
complete the following table for each SLO and/or PLO analyzed during the previous academic year. Additional tables are available at the end of
this document to summarize the results for each SLO and/or PLO analyzed.

Summarize the overall
results of your

How will your
department address the
needs and issues that
were revealed by your
assessment?
Participation in class discussions in Library 99A is assessed by tracking the level of engagement in the online
Discussion Forums on the course website. In 08/09, the platform was Blackboard. In 09/10, it is MyCR. With
a course success rate of 35% in S09 (the first time the class was offered), faculty/staff are re-examining the
level of commitment being asked of our students.
At one unit each, both Library 99 and 99A require 18 hours of "contact time" during the semester. For
a F2F class, this translates into twelve 90 minute classes. However, asking students to remain engaged
for twelve weeks online for only one unit may be expecting too much. Especially when they are required
to compose a minimum of three posts weekly.
After consultation with members of the Curriculum Committee and the Dean of Distance Education,
faculty would like to reduce the number of weeks the course will be scheduled in S10 to ten weeks.
List the TOP 3 TO 6
actions/changes
faculty judge will most
improve student learning
1) Reduce the number of weeks the online section is offered from twelve to ten.
2) Track the level of engagement during the semester.
3) Compare the retention rate to that of the F2F section.
4) Determine if the shorter semester has an impact on student success online.
