and success numbers.
2. Attendance Policy
Renata Funke
First 72 hours will be dropped. It was approved and discussed last spring. Dr. Lori Kilda wants to pilot in spring. Policy

students must be informed. Renata has sent the policy to all Etudes approved instructors.

Tina Esparza-Luna
Negotiations are on Thursday. Currently a module roughly equivalent to no more than one week of content.
Standing documents and announcement. Feedback from some faculty, one week is too long. Evaluators looking at
other areas of course. Examples1 to 3 days. Comments- to see interaction need a week. Instead of less time, limit
areas. Etudes is going to activity meter. Guideline on how to evaluate on online course. Etudes is going to have
evaluator access. DEC feels comfortable with one week.
5. Training Opportunities
Renata Funke
Pat James, Executive Director of OEI, will come by a week before classes and can answer questions. Is doing 3
segments during one of the flex days. Hope to capture PT faculty’s time. Faculty cannot count this as their flex
hours. Mai-Britt and Renata have chosen 3 topics.
