HIGHLIGHTSSubcommittee Highlights and Recommendations
Recommendation: The Quality Course Review should be mandatory for every distance course: online (IN), hybrid (HY), and teleweb (TW).
• New course/Division Masters be submitted for QCR –Quality Course Review.
• Division Directors/delegator will take a lead in the submission process
• QCR in conjunction with areas/divisions. • CPCC Quality Course Review rubric is thorough, effective and
does not need immediate modifications
Opportunities Promotion/application checklist/
annotated rubric Visibility – best practices Availability of optionso Face-to-face o On-demand options
HIGHLIGHTSSubcommittee Highlights and Recommendations
Recommends: an eLearning Liaison position
• A pilot process for Division’s Quality Course Review. This review process includes the participation of an eLearning Liaison as one of the reviewers.
• eLearning Liaison would be an assigned instructor by the Division who would be compensated for their additional duties by the way of re-assigned time or a stipend).
• Also recommended by Strategic Plan
Recommends:
• The implementation of guidelines for appropriate use of master courses or QCR reviewed courses from another instructors. (A draft document was developed by eLearning and this subcommittee.)

LEARNING SYSTEMS - LMS / CMS
Evaluating effectiveness of the current Learning Management Systems (LMSs) at CPCC: Blackboard and Moodle
Researching resources that would need to be in place for hypothetical migration from Blackboard to Moodle.
HIGHLIGHTSSubcommittee Highlights and Recommendations
Environmental Survey: • Identifying faculty preferences for the online teaching environment • Identifying student preferences for online learning environment • Evaluate the effectiveness of existing learning systems to the needs
of our community Timeline Considerations: The subcommittee recommends that no significant transitions or migrations to alternative or secondary LMS/CMS platforms occur before the upcoming SACS visitation. Learning Systems: A migration from Blackboard to Moodle or Moodle to other platforms is not seamless, and requires an investment. At this time, the subcommittee does not support the introduction of additional LMS.
