MELA Meeting Minutes 2018

-Only for instructors teaching native online AND an MSVCC online course. -If grades can be pushed to the ET from the SIS, there will be no duplication. Or vice versa.  Hinds – online instructor hiring freeze. Why hire when you can pull in and make more.  Holmes did the math on profit: $309 (FTE $2,479.33 per student (full time 15 hours) \\ 30 = $82.64. For every hour x 3 (hours) - $247.93 (1). Split 75 and 25. You get tuition regardless. Example: But Hinds will get $309 for developing the course, and Holmes will get $185 + tuition for the student (clerical work, putting him in the class, etc.)  If you put a student in a pulled in class – full-time or part-time. You will make more money by putting students into other college’s classes.
