Issues

Our name

• I'm not happy with "e-learning"
  • Connotes CBT
  • Not future-proof

As per my comments in the meeting, I totally agree that we need to revisit the name, which too narrowly represents our university-wide mission. Doris

The CTE

• Still in the process of planning
• Need to recruit two faculty directors

Distance Education Support

• What does it involve?

College of Pharmacy (SCCP)

• In the Fall, we will be helping faculty from the new SCCP to develop courses for the new program
• The issue of two-way video
  • Is 2WV the way to go?
  • What kind of support can we provide in such a context?

Servers

• I will be setting up a couple of web application servers
  • To port some programs
  • To use to install experimental programs (such as PHP-based apps)

Individual Meetings

• Bettie will schedule meetings for each of you to talk to me
