Next Steps AGC Table Discussion of Proposed Standards and Policy (Feb) Review Feedback (Mar) AGC Vote on Proposed Policy (Apr) Implementation and Review

Previous Table Discussion Purpose: Provide initial feedback on proposed policy and standards. Method: Review each standard and answer table discussion question. Result: Written or

Advantages Standards require interactions. Standards are needed. Standards are open ended enough. Standards relate to assessment. Standards lead to consistency. Courses will be more effective.

Concerns Who is monitoring the courses? Student readiness is important too. Terminology/language (grading policy "stated clearly", assessment, learning outcomes, interaction with who and how) Need resources (accessibility, IT Infrastucture).

Clarification Office hour requirements (1) Example of each standard (1) How will standards be operationalized? (3) How will faculty demonstrate compliance with the standards? (3)

Clarification Can faculty have an option on how they organize his/her content? (by weeks, by units, etc) (4) Do faculty need a purpose in each folder/week? (4) Change standard 4 to ‘instructional strategies and course materials’. (4) Add ‘and activities’ (4)

Clarification Courses should have grading rubrics. (5) Standard around instructor presence in discussion board. (5) What does instructor response time mean? (5) Clarify what instructor feedback means. (5)

Clarification What is academic freedom in an online class? (6) Do Essential Abilities Documents trump accessibility documents? (8) What does readability mean? (fonts, file types) (8) Clarify ‘who will be the judge’ of clarity. (8) How assessments and outcomes are related. (8)

Support Template Rubric Design help Examples/Models

Missing/Comments More detail (criteria), template needed. Need student and campus standards. Who do they apply to (adjunct, full-time)? Course must match Curriculog. Faculty must be responsive to students. Need training and support for faculty

Follow-up Add glossary and examples if approved. Add instructor contact, feedback and interaction expectations. Address academic freedom. Make suggested changes to Standard 4.

Proposed Policy All online and hybrid courses will adhere to the GRCC Distance Learning Standards. The Distance Learning Faculty Advisory Board will review these standards on an annual basis. The AGC will approve any recommended changes.
