    • For 6, consider adding (1) having to use Canvas  (2) legal restrictions don’t allow for compensation of online course development (3) lack of control of who is accessing course information (4) intellectual property issues
    • Consider having 8a and 8b be ‘Select your three top issues’ instead of ranking
    • Consider whether it is important that peer reviews need to be done by someone with experience in the online environment (no argument was presented at E.C. meeting)
  • Qualtrics build (Stephanie?)
    • JoAnne Bunnage from E.C. can help with build and analysis
    • Testing before distribution

OEC Standing Rules and Scope of Committee Policy updates

  • Reviewed approved changes of Scope of Committee
  • Discussed status of proposed Standing Rules changes: awaiting approval (with Committee on Committees)

Hybrid Report - Cub Khan  

  • results of survey of hybrid instructors
  • current state of hybrid education at OSU
  • Q & A about hybrid
    • Discussed student perceptions of hybrid vs fully face-to-face courses (instructors note that hybrid versions of courses they teach have lower SET scores)
    • Discussed potential for research around student perceptions of hybrid/online courses vs students ability to reach course outcomes in these courses
    • Issue of scheduling with hybrid courses (difficult to get “good” schedule times and adequate rooms)

Survey updates

  • Survey approved for distribution by Executive Committee.
  • Discussed questions/suggestions from Executive Committee:
    • With regards to sequencing/repetition in 4-6 we discussed:
      • whether 5 and 6 can be combined
        • if participants give “zero” answer on 4b or 4c can it trigger conditional responses to 5a/b 6a/b
        • separating 5 and 6 as teaching vs. development
    • Discussed and approved Executive Committee suggestions to add the following as options for 6a/6b:
      • requirement to use Canvas as a delivery platform
      • legal restrictions prohibit compensation (from online course development) above my base salary
      • lack of control of who is accessing course content I create
      • intellectual property concerns
    • Discussed and approved changing 8a and 8b: select top three issues instead of drag to rank
  • Next steps
    • Raven and Stephanie will build survey in Qualtrics
    • JoAnne Bunnage from Faculty Senate Executive Committee will review build
    • Committee will meet with JoAnne to review recommended changes
    • Testing: Select group to test survey (Lisa would like to be included)
  • Discussed need for clear distribution plan: To who? Through who? How?
  • Discussed timeline:  Too rushed for June distribution.  Distribution in fall.  

Intellectual Property

  • Discussed escalation of intellectual property concerns to Faculty Senate Executive Committee
  • We hope this will stay on the table and not disappear on Executive Committee to-do list

Other updates from meeting with Executive Committee

  • Discussed potential formation of data analysis committee that would help faculty senate committees with surveys, data collection and analysis
  • Our active committee engagement and work was recognized by the Executive Committee (Raven will send the Online Education Committee the committee’s activity report from October through April)

Looking ahead

  • Watch for Doodle poll for June meeting (probably finals week)
  • Goals for next year
    • Distribute survey, analyze results
    • Look at ways of increasing recognition of outstanding online teachers (eg. establishing new awards; looking at current awards criteria and how they may exclude online teachers, etc.)
