Course Request and Creation Policies and Procedures
Master Course Creation
Master Course shells will be set up once for each course
taught. Instructors are responsible to design their own
master courses. Each semester all necessary changes are
to be made to the original Master Course. When the
master is ready, instructors will copy it to the Course
Section Shell(s). The Master Course will be kept on the
server indefinitely and be available for updating and
copying each semester.
Master Course shells will only be available to faculty
who have successfully completed the Basic Training.
During the training, faculty will be given a personal
Sandbox to use to test course content. The Sandbox
will be used exclusively by the instructor and will not
be deleted from the server.
Course Section Shell Creation
Approximately six (6) weeks prior to the start of each
semester, course section shells will be created
automatically for each course section offered. Faculty
will copy updated content from the Master Course to each
Course Section Shell.
Blended Learning course
instructors not planning to use UCC Online for their
course offering should contact the DE office directly
through email or phone (908-497-4364) to request the
removal of the Course Section Shell.
Student Access to Courses
Instructors will enable student access to their courses
four (4) days before classes begin. This policy enables
students to see their class listed when they logon
eliminating many unnecessary emails and phone calls to
DE and the instructor.
Note: The entire course does not have to be available
consider a Welcome discussion for students to introduce
themselves; access to syllabus, text requirements, list
of resources and materials they will need; a pre-test,
game or other activity to get them started.
If you need any
assistance in completing any of the above tasks, please
contact the Distance Education Department.
