The DEAB has developed a resource guide that provides guidance to faculty on distance education courses and programs - related to academic integrity, quality assurance, overside, student engagement, and assessment. For more information, please visit the Advisor Board's shared folder.
Each semester, instructors of distance education courses should complete the Checklist for Distance Education NMT Courses prior to the start of classes. The checklist can be found here. Instructors should review the information entered into the checklist for their courses with their Department Chairperson/Program Director prior to submission. If there are any questions about the checklist, please contact Academic Affairs at vpaa@casabo.net.
