Budgeted: Included in current budget
Evidence of Success: We will measure our success by achieving a 90% survey satisfaction rate and
having 90% of the adjuncts to complete the online orientation.
Current Status: Behind Schedule
Describe Progress: This year, the majority of our department chairs were new. It took this year to bring
them up to speed on the purpose of the adjunct orientation and get them on board. They are now
going to build their departmental information into it for the next year.
Fall 2013-Spring 2014
Even though we did not meet the goal this year, we made significant progress with the department
chairs and are confident that next year will produce better results. We did create complete listings of
courses offered at our Center by semester along with the online offerings by semester. This form is
attached.
Spring 2013
In addition to the normal updating of the online orientation, we added a survey. We achieved an 89%
satisfaction rate on the survey which was just short of our goal, and we had 53% of the adjuncts to
complete online orientation. Our goal was not met; next year, we will make extra efforts to increase the
percentage of adjuncts that complete this orientation.
Spring 2012
This year, we worked together to create an online adjunct orientation in D2L. The goals were to
introduce adjuncts to D2L, provide vital information to them at their convenience and maintain the
availability throughout the semester, give those adjuncts who start in Spring or Summer the same
information as those who start in the Fall, require an orientation for all even if they cannot attend the
physical orientation, and give them a reference when they need information at a later time. This project
was ready for adjuncts to use before the Fall 2012 semester.
Describe Needed Changes: With the department chairs on board for the online adjunct orientation,
there are no other changes identified.
For the upcoming year, we plan to develop a program mapping for the various majors. This will aid both
students and advisors in graduation planning.
