Student
Representatives
Whitney Kubat, BSU junior will join the
ARC as a student rep.
O: Student here.
R: Maintain student in-put and
feedback.
Up-date: computer
functionality
NTC faculty computers have not been
functioning well at BSU. Computers are
old. Some are getting new hard drives. No
new computers until summer. IT is
helping.
Classrooms at BSU are not wired with
electric and Ethernet cords for student use.
Right now using power-strips to help with
this.
Testing is an issue, as Wi-fi is not always
reliable. Lack of Ethernet plug-ins for
student use in classrooms.
Tracy Goodwin has a new computer (as of
summer 2014).
O: Purchased power-strips for
faculty as a temporary solution.
Remodeling will be occurring on
the campus.
R: IIA
Remote proctoring
policy
NTC has options to test with the campus
group, find a proctor, or use
RemoteProctor Now. An university
committee is currently in discussion, and
recommendations will be sent to
administration. We cannot develop a
policy at this point, as this is not in our
realm to decide. Remote Proctor Now is
working well for on-line students.
Needs to be sent out this fall. Will be
revised if needed to match ACEN and
CCNE standards.
O: Remote Proctor Now will remain
an option until further evaluation
and discussion by a campus-wide
committee
R: IIA
Old Business
Faculty Resource
