Welcome, Updates, Announcements
Review work to date on Access to Excellence as Strategic Context for CSU’s
Online Degree Programs Strategy
Background: Review range of technology mediated education and the current
focus is on accelerating the development of online degree programs by campuses.
ATSC members have contributed to the list of benefits, dependencies, and success
indicators for CSU’s online degree program strategy as it aligns with the Access to
Excellence strategic plan. Recognized need to communicate rational for CSU’s
strategic priority for accelerating development and delivery of online degree
programs. Connecting Ac2Ex goals, Online Degree program strategy, and Design
Principles will be an important context for specific campus and system goals and
implementation plans.
ISSUES: Need to refine the alignment of Online Degree programs with the
CSU’s 8 Commitments/Goals from Access to Excellence

AGENDA
1. How would online programs advance/accelerate a goal? (Benefits)
2. What are the dependencies for the online programs to succeed?
3. What are the success indicators that we could use to assess our
progress?
Need to identify key dependencies that are barriers for campuses. By examining
the dependencies across the goals, key dependencies will emerge
1. Policies
2. Marketing & Outreach
3. Student Services
4. Methods for cost-effective and timely program development
Review the Design Principles: Have we captured all the elements of a project that
we would need to evaluate in selecting projects?
OUTCOMES: ATSC feedback provided on alignment and Design Principles
document resulting in plan for improving the document and prepare for
distribution to key stakeholder groups. Identify key dependencies that need to be
address by implementation plan.

Defining Online Degree Program strategy and the goals that can be achieved
Background: We drafted some design principles for the online degree programs (and
these design principles could be applied to online, hybrid, and technology enhanced
courses).
We need to define/refine CSU’s strategy for accelerating the development and
increasing the range of online degree programs. For example, our strategy might
be to focus on 4 types of online degree programs, including
 Degree completion programs where transfer students with AA’s can complete
an online BA/BS program in 2 years (increase # of BA/BS graduates produced
by CSU within the same physical capacity).
 Masters programs focused on STEM/PSM (increase # of qualified experts to
drive the economic engine of CA).
 Self-support certificate programs that are building blocks to degrees (increase
options for working professionals, active duty service personnel).
 Masters programs that encourage out of state/country students to enroll and
occupy 30% of the seat (increase global awareness).
These are just ideas/examples and there can be other/alternative types of programs
and goals.
Issue: What are the set of relevant models for online degree programs? What are
the goals that can be best achieved with these models?
Outcome: ATSC plans a draft strategy document defining how different online
degree programs can achieve CSU goals and the variety of dependencies the CSU
will have to manage in order to achieve these goals.
