Extended Learning Sub Meet and Confer
September 13, 2005

Notes

The following are the unapproved notes from the first meeting of the Extended Learning Sub-Meet and Confer. We have established meeting dates, times, and locations for the entire academic year. We will be meeting on Tuesdays, 10:00 – 11:00 a.m., every 2 weeks, in CSU 204, except for 2 dates in which we have to relocate.

Our first meeting was a little choppy, in that it was the first meeting for a new sub-meet and confer.  We will be dealing with review and refinement of the mission and objectives of the Extended Learning Sub-Meet and Confer at our next meeting on Tuesday, September 27, 2005.

Other priority topics are listed at the end of the following minutes. High priority items at this time include: 1) establishing assessment procedures for the online extended learning courses and programs per HCL comments in the report awarding MSU, Mankato the ability to provide courses and programs through Minnesota OnLine; 2) recommendation of a revised policy covering PSEO concurrent enrollment program; and 3) addressing sustainable funding needs for Extended Learning.
