• 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.)

LMS – Blackboard and Moodle
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.
