Distance Education New Course Approval

There are procedures in place that faculty members need to follow to offer and deliver a course in a distance learning format.  Those procedures are outlined on the Curriculum Committee web site and on the Academic Technology Committee web site.

Required Training:

WebCT:  Any faculty member wishing to use WebCT for the Fall 2008 and Winter 2008 semester must have already been trained to use it.  All WebCT training is now discontinued.

ANGEL Learning:  Beginning with the Spring 2009 semester, any faculty member who currently uses WebCT and wishes to continue to use a learning management system for online courses, blended learning or enhancement of courses must receive training in the ANGEL Learning Management System.

Basic Training will be conducted during the month of October 2008 and consists of four hours of face-to-face training and a design consultation with the Distance Education staff to copy over course content and begin to design courses in ANGEL.

You must take and complete the Basic Training given by the DE staff in order to be certified to use ANGEL in delivering a distance education course.

Department Chairs will be notified of all faculty members who have successfully completed the required training. This will assist the Chairs in assigning online/blended learning classes only to those faculty members who are certified.
