Evaluation Procedures:

1. Online courses and instructors will be monitored through an online student evaluation process each quarter the course is taught to obtain valuable feedback for the instructor, the assistant dean of the division, and the Dean of Instruction and Distance Education, Chair of the Online Review Board Committee. The online evaluation form provides for student feedback on course content, instructor effectiveness, and the technology used to deliver the course. A place for student comments is also provided on the evaluation form.
   
   
2. The Dean of Instruction and Distance Education will compile a summary of student responses in each online course. Data gathered will also be distributed to the online course instructor and the assistant dean of the division for the improvement of online course offerings.
   
   
3. The assistant deans of the respective academic divisions of the college evaluate faculty members annually. Performance in online courses will be included as a part of the instructor’s evaluation process. Performance in online courses shall be treated on an equal basis with performance in traditional classroom settings. Faculty members considering or already teaching online courses should include relevant professional development activities for online instruction in their professional development plans.
   
4. Online courses are subject to a review by the Online Review Board both before implementation as a general course offering and at other times as deemed appropriate by the Board and/or the assistant dean of the division.
