Action Items Discussion

 

  • Bledsoe thanked everyone for attending the emergency meeting to review additional courses for the Curriculum and General Education (CGE) Committee to deliberate as the Distance Learning and Education (DLE) Committee tries to expedite approvals for emergency distance education courses.

 

  • Bledsoe mentioned that Division Chair M. Mayfield reached out to him about the forms having similar responses and that the responses have been reviewed by faculty.

 

  • Bledsoe suggested to rearrange the agenda. J. Reynolds motioned to group some of the courses together for easier review and discussion.  K. Kulzer-Reyes did a second and after roll-call motion passed.

 

  • There were 25 Emergency Distance Learning Approval Forms submitted and four traditional Distance Education Approval Forms.

 

  • The emergency forms were grouped with the results below from the committee discussion:

 

  • BIOL 1510, BIOL 1513, BIOL 2201, BIOL 2202 and BIOL 2203 : Various committee members made motions with seconds and roll-calls were made to forward these courses to the Curriculum and General Education Committee. There was an additional note from the Distance Learning and Education Committee to the CGE Committee to have Division Chair M. Mikefield elaborate on how field trips will be addressed in a distance education format for these courses.

 

  • BIOL 2250, BIOL 2257, BIOL 2260, CHEM 1510, CHEM 1520, CHEM 2211, CHEM 2212, ESCI 1520, GEOL 1501, PHYS 2221, PHYS 2222, PHYS 2223, PSCI 1520, ENGR 1500, ENGR 1510, ENGR 1540 and ENGR 2300 : Various committee members made motions with seconds and roll-calls were made to forward these courses to the Curriculum and General Education (CGE) Committee for approval.

 

  • ENGR 1550 and ENGR 2000: Various committee members made motions with seconds and roll-calls were made to forward these courses to the CGE Committee. There was an additional note from the DLE Committee to the CGE Committee to have Division Chair M. Mikefield elaborate on how field trips and guest speakers will be addressed in a distance education format for these courses.

 

  • ENGR 2200: J. Reynolds motioned to forward the course to the CGE Committee with an additional note from the DLE Committee to the CGE Committee to have Division Chair M. Mikefield elaborate on how the third method of instruction, i.e., individual and group projects with emphasis on in-class exercises with experimental equipment including data acquisition and analysis, will be addressed in a distance education format. Kulzer-Reyes did a second.  After roll-call, motion passed.

 

  • The traditional forms were discussed.

 

  • ART 1610, ART 1631, ART 2010 and PHED 1649: Various committee members made motions with seconds and roll-calls were made to forward these courses to the CGE Committee for approval.

 

  • For ART 1631, K. Kulzer-Reyes made a motion to add a note as part of the recommendation by the DLE Committee to the CGE Committee for this course to be approved as a distance education course. Suggestion for note: They can use themselves as the model, or their partners, or family members. Just like if students were in a classroom, they would be looking at their own foot, their hands, or they would be doing a self-portrait of their facial features, for example. Additionally, faculty could choose images from websites and elsewhere and upload them in the Canvas module.
