MELA Meeting Minutes 2003 - 2017

the oversight committee. Ms. McCrimon suggested that Sub-Committtees should present a progress report on their strategic initiative on October 6 at the next DLC meeting.

E. Audra Kimble asked if bylaws had ever been adopted. None have been adopted. Members should bring ideas or suggestions for bylaw additions. Bylaws will be revisited at next DLC meeting.

F. Laura Lofton asked when we could begin building courses so that ghost courses are not built, DLCs need to have their courses ready by October 1.

G. List of things for Ive to do. Audra would like to see a notation on profile indicating whether students are verified or not. Also, would like to prevent self enroll when no classes are registered for. Mark, email distribution list on Course Roster. Add Bookstore telephone number in textbook information, prerequisite on course information. Natalie would like to see BB userid printed on profile. Mark – some students think D2L and BB communicate, when they change their password. Alicia asked how instructors were taking to D2L, most responded that instructors were nervous. Mark asked how the state would feel about dual platform state. Most said they thought it would be confusing. Hubert asked about revisiting the MSVCC hosting of bb rather than paying for bb to service. It may end up being more cost effective. Jennifer asked if DLCs have trained their instructors. Most said no. Many expressed that the instructors who went to the initial training were not pleased. Jennifer suggested that perhaps we should revisit other platforms again.

H. Ask bookstore managers how they would prefer handling textbook orders between colleges…phone, fax etc.

VI. Blackboard Day – October 13, 2004 members asked what would be covered during this session.
