A workgroup = has met and is discussing a plan of action.

Other Committee

Repo= rts: &= nbsp; &nbs= p; Members of the Faculty Senate/Palomar Faculty Federation Online Load Task Force provided the following report of their initial meeting for information:

= Faculty Senate/Palomar Faculty Federation

Online Load Taskforce

Meeting Summary

10/16/2006

Question 1: What percent of ful= l time load should be taught online?

This question was addressed at = both the departmental and individual level.

After much discussion it was determined that any attempt= to limit the amount of online classes taught by an individual faculty member p= er semester or by a department as a whole was generated out of one of two sentiments:

A. = Online courses are inferior in = some way to non-online courses.

B. = Online courses prevent faculty = from showing a presence on campus.

inferior to non-online courses, they do lack the proper evaluation tool. If all online courses can be evaluated as non-online cours= es then any impression of inferiority would diminish. Once all course types are evaluated equally there should be no reason to intentionally limit one cour= se type over another. Therefore = it is the recommendation of the Task Force that TERB set forth to restructure the online course evaluation procedure to promote equality with non-online cour= se evaluations.

In response to B, it was anecdotally presented that seve= ral non-online teaching faculty show a minimal presence on campus and a minimal involvement in campus activities. The decision to “show a presence” on campus is specifica= lly left up to the discretion of the faculty member and has little to nothing t= o do with the course type taught. No limitations are put on a faculty member who chooses to teach all night courses or early morning and weekend courses. In= a similar vein, no limitations should be put on faculty members who choose to teach online courses. Even of= fice hours can be justifiably conducted online. In section 4.1.6 of the faculty contract it states: “The office hours shall be held at a time conveni= ent for the majority of students in the faculty member’s classes.” Online students often prefer the convenience of online office hours. The decision over having in-person or online office hours should be left to the discretion of the individual faculty member.

Just as departments and individuals currently decide how many day classes, night classes, fast track classes and TV classes are taug= ht so should the discretion of scheduling be left to the department and individuals for online courses.

No limitation to the amount of online courses taught by = an individual or department was suggested by the Task Force.

Question 2: Should probationary faculty be able to teach online classes as part of their load?

The Task Force agreed that probationary faculty should be limited in the amount of online courses that they teach during their probationary period. No exact= value was determined but was generally assumed to not exceed 50% of their normal load.

The reasons for this restriction included:

1. the excessive preparation and training needed for online class development,

2. lack of in-classroom develop= mental skills critical to the probationary period, and

3. lack of a proper evaluation criteria.

Question 3: Should Sick leave (and other emergency situations) exceptions/provisions with department approval (if someone is unable to teach in person for a semester due to injury or illness, but could teach online from home, and their dept agrees, would this be allowed as an exception to any load agreements?) be made to percent load taught online?

This question is no longer rele= vant given the resolution in Question 1.

Question 4: Clarify definitions= of types of distance learning- hybrid vs. online, etc.

This question will be resolved = by the Faculty Senate ATC/PFF joint committee.

Question 5: Generate ideas for listing classes in schedu= le with indicators/symbols of type of distance learning

This question will be resolved = by the Faculty Senate ATC/PFF joint committee.
