Course Maintenance & Update Process (New)

Updated on

This process allows for the continual improvement of online courses through the collection, approval, and implementation of ideas. The process and policies outlined in this article work in conjunction with section 6.0 "Online Course Update Policy" in the Online Handbook.

Process

Process Notes

  • (A) Course councils should meet at least once each year to discuss course needs. Some councils will meet more and discuss changes more frequently, but note that curriculum designers are NOT monitoring the council agenda for new items, but will check in on it periodically or in advance of a council meeting.
  • (B) The ACL/OCR updates other online instructors through the community's Idea Exchange as to the outcomes of suggestions brought to the council. The course lead and curriculum designer update other stakeholders on campus and within Online Learning as needed.  These updates should be given to instructors and other stakeholders at the earliest opportunity.

Associated Policies

  • If a course redevelopment is needed, the online associate dean (OAD) of that college must be notified.  The OAD then begins the process of Course Origination where the Online Development Council will discuss this option. 
  • The process and policies outlined in this article work in conjunction with section 6.0 "Online Course Update Policy" in the Online Handbook.
