MESSAGE FROM THE INTERIM VP OF ACADEMIC AFFAIRS JOHN BACKES
This spring a Reorganization Task Force was asked to evaluate the structure of the Instructional Division and to make recommendations that would improve our effectiveness and efficiency.  Several memos related to their work have been issued by the task force to the campus.

The recommendations that have been  forwarded by the Reorganization Task Force, and which I agree would improve the working efficiency of the instructional areas, have been reviewed.  As VP of Academic Affairs, I am communicating directly with individuals who may be impacted by our restructuring decisions and with those who may also be indirectly affected.  These decisions will also be reviewed by the President's Leadership Team.  The Reorganization Task Force will then be reconvened to review the final decisions and their rationale.  At this time, the Deans will also be invited to participate in the discussion.  A full announcement with the criteria, decisions and rationale will then be communicated to the campus community through the listserves and DAAG. This is expected sometime this week.

ONLINE COURSE DEVELOPMENT AWARDEES
Distance Learning Services sent out a RFP this spring quarter for the development of online courses which currently are not part of SCC’s distance learning course offerings.  I am pleased to announce the following awardees:
  • Vince Barnes, ESL 100, Academic ESL 3, 5 credits
  • Steve Bogart, Math 211, Elements of Statistical Method, 5 credits
  • Chip Dodd, GEOG 100, Introduction to Geography, 5 credits
  • Bonnie Frunz, ENG 293, Credit for Prior Experiential Learning, 3 credits
  • Steve Malott, MUSTC 101, Survey of Music Technology, 5 credits
  • Steve Malott, MUSTC 249, Portfolio Development, 2 credits
  • Donna Wilde, HCI 225, Computers in Health Care, 3 credits
We received just one application per online course, so a committee was not used to evaluate the proposals.  These faculty will receive 1/3 release time for one quarter or an equivalent stipend to develop these 5 credit courses online (or proportionately less for fewer credits).  These courses were chosen by the Deans and approved by Interim VPAA John Backes because they enable the completion of online certificates, enrich the transfer curriculum, meet student demand, and/or focus on niche programs.  Please contact Ann Garnsey-Harter, agarnsey@shoreline.edu, for more information.
