Distance Education Committee

CHARGE: The charge of the Distance Education Committee is to review courses submitted for both Distance Education Development Stipends and Major Overhaul Grants to ensure that they incorporate a range of digital media, include student-to-student and student-to-faculty interaction, and meet COCC accessibility guidelines. For Major Overhaul Grants, the committee completes initial and final reviews (i.e., before the overhaul and after the overhaul). Support may include assistance with using the LMS effectively, creating opportunities for feedback and interaction, designing accessible courses with all learners in mind, and meeting quality review standards for distance education courses.* The committee works with faculty members through final approval, whereupon the it forwards the grant request to the Vice President of Academic Affairs (VPAA) for signature.
