ETC – Jason Arnold & Domenic

Continued QM/UF Markers Alignment for Statewide Audit

  • Domenic has most of the final official “owners” of the courses as designated by the school. He is now doing a gap analysis of those that have already been submitted for review (through proposal space) and those that are left to submit.
  • 2023.12.07 EDU Course Reviews.xlsx
  • The “Hollywood Course” (Blue Ribbon) – This is on hold until further budget discussions in Spring. I have no doubt we will do this, but the scale will be the issue.
  • Jason conducting a Gap analysis
  • “Emerging learning technologies” – Bojan
  • Domenic is updating the list
  • Currently, CTE (Center of Teaching Excellence) has closed the review proposal space (used for submitting courses) and updating the UF+QM standards. We are waiting on our end to see what the updated online rubric will be. Nikki Lyons, at CTE, will get me a list of all of the COE courses that have been reviewed. I am still waiting on those.
