hello group, please forgive cross-posting of this request.

*** Attached File #1: DISTANCE ***
hello group,
as chair of our academic standards committee, i have undertaken the chore of gathering information on distance learning policies as they have been articulated at other schools. we have no definitive policy statement. several of us are concerned about this as we see HUGE issues looming on the horizon as more and more educators incorporate distance learning (in any of its many guises) into their regular course structures.

from a most casual discussion at our meeting today, we have identified these broad issues:
intellectual ownership
class size
content integrity
student performance integrity
work load/compensation
technology support

i would love to hear what formal policies you may have adopted on your campuses. what have we left out? are there nonİissues? who makes the policy? enforcement problems? i am eager to hear any and all responses. i will be gathering and organizing your gems for our next meeting at the end of march.

thanking you advance for you wisdom and counsel,
anne, who is watching the snow fall, listening the ice crackle as it falls off the trees, wishing she could go home.

post to me privately at LANDRY@SUNYDUTCHESS.EDU or the list, but post !!!
