group and will use the document provided here as a benchmark for assessing quality of courses. iv. Support 1. Ms. Wamsley stated that the help desk solution is in progress as reported by Ms. Kimble. 2. The support committee would like to recommend that the proctor center evaluation change to a yearly evaluation done six weeks into the semester.

The cost study has been started and will be a long process 3. Policy and procedures manual has been completed 4. Academic honesty and student grievance policies have been developed and are complete. Audra Leverton expressed a concern about students being placed in online classes who are not suitable for online courses and asked if the association can institute an evaluation process. Ms. Kimble stated that the READI program might be able to meet this need. c. Enrollment Tool i. Ms. Kimble asked the association to discuss the addition of a validation tool for Audit Rolls in the enrollment tool. ii. Members discussed the options. Hubert Yates discussed adding the option in the course management module. (Ive Burnett…Module turned on by audit dates. When on an instructor will be able to click on course roster list with a button to verify status...once verified will put a snapshot to a database. When verified include a date stamp.
