1. General Housekeeping
Review future meeting dates, adjustments; Magdi to attend FPC meeting virtually Nov. 20th
2. Domenic Durante Presentation – Move to Online Education; Blue Ribbon Process
- All undergrad courses must be online compliant by 2025
- Focusing on getting some online initially (UF QM) with e-learning appropriate pedagogy (“Hollywood”) vs. Blue Ribbon courses. There is immense pressure to get the undergrad courses ready (there will be a state audit)
- Jason: Approximately 50 courses (some are offered more often than others)
- Not just a matter of e-learning but also ADA compliance
- Faculty must own some of this process as SMEs; this will require a full curriculum map
- Domenic – Ideas for moving forward? All courses need to go through CM process
Discussion on Steps/Process: Course Map, QM Reviews by CTE
- Bojan – Audit which courses have already been certified. Reach out to course owner (many adjuncts teaching courses).
- Domenic – Identify leaders in each school; create a schedule for course mapping. “Peer to Peer change is the most effective”; should be departmental versus top-down
- Due Dates to conduct ETC QM Reviews – 11 dates in 3 cycles
- Kristi – Need to consider equity as some instructors may be over-burdened with UG course transitions; Jason – we should review with college school directors.
- Jason – Triage the 50 courses to (a) Courses offered most often/rarely offered (b) Level of QM
- Jason – will relay information to school leaders
Hollywood (High Enrollment Courses) Discussion (Jason)
- Leading to microcredentials. 4 hours or so. These include engaging videos, asynchronous activities (Articulate/Rise 360 examples)
- Ed tech courses are very appropriate for this
Domenic
- Considering new priorities and institutional strategy, we may need to rethink Blue Ribbon, which emphasizes 16 week courses, and instead focus on module approaches
Strategy for Undergrad Course Transition
- Audit the 50 courses; QM levels
- Identify Leaders
- Identify course owners
- Target communication to courses/owners
Strategy to Discuss Broader Strategy
- Workshop to discuss approaches to this transition
- Jason – will explore funding to support
- Walter – suggest we discuss interoperability
