Agenda Items:
- Prioritize issues/concerns generated during last brainstorming session
Existing CCRI students will be surveyed anonymously. It was proposed that the survey be made available to the college community using either Pipeline or a form on the IT page. Surveying the entire student population may render useful information related to the following:
- Who is or has taken on-line and/or telecourses (distance learning) options
- How they heard about the options
- Why they have taken this option
- Why they haven't
- To what extent would they enroll in future classes and/or programs
- What are the facilitators of a good DL experience
- What are the barriers to a good DL experience
- Would a face to face component of a DL experience be warranted
- Assignment of team and/or individual to work on specific issues
Sub-committees were established to address issues/concerns raised at initial meeting. The following individuals volunteered or will be asked to participate in the following sub-committees:
- Student: Judy Murphy, Luis Malaret, Robyn Younkin and John Whitman.
- Faculty: Terry Squizzero, Karen Allen, JoAnn Warren and Martha Vigneault
- Administration: Phil Sisson, Jamie Nash, Rob Melucci and Linda Beith.
Sub-Committees have been charged with identifying additional issues/concerns and prioritizing items prior to next DL Committee Meeting (Scheduled for 11/17 at 2:00 pm).
- Establish a timeline for completion of recommendations to VP Sherman (No Action)
