Distance Ed Survey Reports
Title 5 Regulations regarding distance education courses establishes that districts must report annually on the status of course offerings to the local Board of Trustees (BOT) and the California Community Colleges Chancellor Office. The time line for the Distance Education reports due to the BOT and the CCCCO has been extended from July 1 to August 31, 1998. The DETAC reviewed the 1996-97 reports prepared by the districts. Major issues for the systemwide study continue to be: (1) not all districts report; (2) determination of the most appropriate time to survey students and faculty; and (3) a definitive statement regarding the California Community College Distance Education Program is inconclusive due to substantial variability in format, content, and documentation in the reports. Concerns have been raised regarding the best time to survey students and faculty. DETAC discussions concluded that the best time to survey students and faculty is in the beginning and end of the semester; therefore, those surveys will be sent in August or September 1998. To rectify the problem of format, content, and documentation, the DETAC designed and developed reporting instruments to collect information on institutions, student satisfaction, faculty satisfaction, demographics, course information, student retention, etc. It is the intent of the DETAC to simplify the process for districts/campuses and alleviate any duplication of reporting through the Management Information Systems Division or other processes to allow for a more consistent format and collection procedure.
