Letter of Intent
Drew Tiene / Letter of intent to offer online degrees as follows: Master’s Degree in Instructional Technology; Master’s Degree in Instructional Technology with Computer/Technology Endorsement; Doctorate Degree in Educational Psychology.
Nancy Barbour explained to the group that whenever a program wishes to have more than 50% of the program delivered online, whether it be undergraduate or graduate, it must have prior approval. In the case of the graduate programs, they must be approved through OBR. There was discussion by the group and concern was expressed regarding moving a PhD program to a totally online delivery. It was pointed out that no changes are being made to the program except the delivery method will now be online.
Nancy encouraged everyone to look at their programs and make certain that not more than 50% of the courses are being offered online. / No action necessary.
Undergraduate Proposals
HS-HED; Dianne Kerr / Program revision: Proposal to revise Bachelor of Science in Community Health. Changes to program requirements include adding and removing courses. Some courses are being taught by Public Health program and the changes reduce overlapping courses; other courses are being added to update the program. Through discussion, it was discovered that one of the changes to the requirements created a hidden elective. By removing Media, Power and Culture from the options for a journalism course, the only course with no required prerequisite was removed and easy access for HS students to complete the requirement was eliminated. It was recommended that the course be reinstated and that Dianne get a memo from Journalism giving HS Community Health students access to the other courses. Another suggestion was that the course Principles of Public Relations might serve as an option. A motion was made to table the proposal until Dec. to give Dianne time to talk with JMC. Effective Fall 2011; total program hours do not change / Motion to approve by Natalie Caine-Bish; seconded by Tracy Lara; proposal was tabled until Dec. by a motion by Averil McClelland and seconded by Lynne Guillot-Miller.

FLA-ELS

Nancy requested that the last line of the graduation requirements (Any deficiencies in a doctoral student’s academic preparation must be corrected very early in the approved academic program.) be removed. There was discussion that there was only one EXPH course contained in the program plan and that this might be confusing to students.

William Kist / Establish 6/87317 Literacies in Practice
This course has been offered for the past several years as a special topics course and the program is now seeking to make it a regular course.
There was discussion regarding the difference between master’s and doctoral level. Differences in writing requirements between the levels were identified. This will be an elective course.
Concern was raised that no other units were consulted for this proposal. It was thought that Dean Hanson in the College of Communication Information would have questions regarding this course and should be consulted. It was also felt that the EPSY/ITEC program should be consulted. It was requested that the proposer contact CCI and ITEC and have encroachment memos in place prior to moving the proposal forward to EPC. / Motion to approve by Belinda Zimmerman; seconded by Lynne Guillot-Miller;
Vote was taken contingent upon proposer receiving an encroachment memo from the College of Communication & Information and ITEC.
