- Strategic participants
- Dr. Dana – perhaps a working session with more fleshing out of action / next steps. “One more step toward action.”
- Dr. Castaneda-Rios – “what are they walking away with?”

Course Development

- By 2025 – most courses should be migrated to digital-facing modality
- Robust efforts require multiple departments/ sources of funding/ strategy
- Dr. Rios – Explore minority-serving institution status; what would that look like? Where do we stand substantively, statistically?
Minority Enrollment
- HB 1035 – line 256? – public school teachers get 6 credits per semester!
- Elayne Colon monitoring
Blue Ribbon – Ramp Up Course Development
- Initially conceived as a scale up starting small, has not continued since last summer. Revisit this for Summer 2024
- Drs. Lazarevic & Castaneda Rios – Blue Ribbon process immensely helpful – $2,500 stipend
- Dr. Dana – let’s begin recruiting for a new cohort; explore funds
- Dr. Lazarevic – “Course Blueprint Process” Use of master blueprint shell – a certified course that can be lightly iterated upon utilizing a single shell across sections.
- Sequencing – very difficult to do many at one time; many 5-10; Dr. Rios – a single course can have a trickle down effect as instructors go through process/ informs practice
Other Items
- AI student-generated work – Dr. Dana – new pedagogy required in light of generative AI tech. “Inevitably change how we work”.
- Explore what UF is offering; what we might be able to offer in COE
- Assessments will need to be rethought – “tactile”, soft skills?
- December meeting – ETC / Domenic offers a clinic of some sort
