DE Handbook Update
The Distance Education Handbook was last updated in the Spring of 2014. We have finally updated our DE Handbook in the Fall of 2025.
The Instructional Technology & Design Team and DEAC collaborated to work on updated draft and I was able to finalize that draft and bring it to IPC and Academic Senate for approval.
We incorporated a lot of great feedback from the two committees and we were able to get the final draft approved by IPC on 10/17/25 and by Academic Senate on 10/23/25. We were able to get this document approved and included as part of our evidence for the ACCJC ISER.
We will continue to improve and update this document, and also share it again as a resource for the campus community to find all of our processes, recommendations and resources in one place.
DE Annual Update
We submitted a simple annual update in order to continue to request budgets for QOTL and POCR so that we can continue to support faculty in their continuous work of updating online courses.
In preparing our Annual Update, I reviewed the feedback we received from IPC on our comprehensive review last year. They gave us some great feedback and asked some really interesting questions. I gathered our IPC feedback together and requested to share them at an upcoming DEAC meeting. That discussion will be really helpful in checking in on what direction we’d like to move in next.
Continued Committee Work
IPC, District DEAC and Technology Committee
I’ve continued to serve on several committees in my role as the Instructional Designer. I’ve been glad to represent our team’s initiatives, like RSI, in these spaces to ensure misinformation is not running away from us. I’ve also participated in conversations around preparing for our accreditation visiting team’s access to Canvas, aligning of our SLO assessment, program review and accreditation standards, and participating in our District’s AI Community of Practice.
