III. NEW BUSINESS ITEMS:
ART 1850 Web Site Production
Discussion was had regarding how the lab portion of this course is taught online. D. Hall quoted the Data Element Dictionary for California Community Colleges that states that lab is conducted under line of sight of the instructor. Several possible solutions were presented for this course: the course become lecture only, the course be taught face to face or in a hybrid format with lab hours face to face, or clearly outline technology that allows for a synchronous lab experience. The Distance Learning committee is going to look at this course and the distance learning approval process. On a motion by S. Eveland, seconded by S. Eastman, and opposed by B. Devine, the course update to ART 1850 was tabled.
- DISCUSSION ITEMS:
- Two-Year Schedules
- Williams provided an update. Notes from the Division Chair meeting regarding enrollment management were provided which included examples of division two-year plans as well as program advising templates. Before the next Curriculum and General Education meeting, the following needs to be accomplished: the creation and distribution of a “2 years back and 3 years forward” schedule data table, divisions to complete the “3 years forward” piece of the 2 year plans, counselors to review, and examples of education plans for majors to be distributed to chairs/liaisons. J. Rangel-Escobedo suggested starting with Associate Degrees for Transfer as those have a more limited pathway for students to take.
