Karl had not gotten the previous version of the committee section of the Bylaws which Donald had sent to the members of the committee in September. There was discussion about whether to meet with the Bylaws Committee about the inclusion of this committee in the Bylaws. Question: should the committee be classed as an advisory group instead? If this was an advisory group, there would need to be recognition of Faculty Senate service on the advisory group. Why the Distance Ed committee removed from the Bylaws? One of the reasons was the decision that administrative staff should take care of their individual responsibilities (instead of committees doing that work). One of the responsibilities of this committee should be to enable a broader discussion among administration and faculty regarding policies and procedures for distance education. A request was made to reach out to the Bylaws Committee to find out the difference between an advisory group and a standing committee. (Response: The standing committees must report to the faculty senate since they are ones that impact all faculty and yes, are under the guide of the FS bylaws concerning number of meetings, etc. Advisory groups or boards have very specific areas that they are addressing and don't necessarily affect all faculty. So most of their information is not needed to be shared with faculty senate. Maybe occasionally when it is something that has general interest to faculty.) Looking at the previous version of the Bylaws, item #3 makes recommendations should be included in the new verbiage. Also, there was discussion that the distance education policy should be updated to include a note that if an instructor uses something other than what is standard at 鶹ӰԺ, that instructor should be responsible for making sure that the non-standard item/service works. As a continuation of the above, there was discussion of the multitude of interactive systems that are in use (Big Blue Button, BlueJeans, Cranium Caf, Zoom, Google Hangouts/Meet, Microsoft Teams). A question was raised about the possibility of using Zoom instead of Big Blue Button. Karl mentioned that our license for Big Blue Button is for 3 simultaneous uses, but 鶹ӰԺ recently had up to 11 simultaneous and so had to pay overage charges for the excess use. A request was made to get a comparison of the various systems regarding pricing and capabilities. Also mentioned was the new strategic plan effort and whether the Distance Education Committee will need to put forth any recommendations or time toward that effort. <=>hij * X W X -.':;VWijԿhzwBCJaJhB'CJaJhCJaJhhOJQJ^JhhCJaJhhCJaJhhxCJaJhhoCJaJ4=>ij X .;Wj,1h/ =!"#$% x666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH66666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666p62&6FVfv2(&6FVfv&6FVfv&6FVfv&6FVfv&6FVfv&6FVfv8XV~ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@66666 OJPJQJ_HmH nH sH tH J`J Normal dCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA D Default Paragraph FontRiR 0 Table Normal4 l4a (k ( 0No List PK![Content_Types].xmlN0EH-J@%ǎǢ|ș$زULTB l,3;rØJB+$G]7O٭Vj\{cp/IDg6wZ0s=Dĵw %;r,qlEآyDQ"Q,=c8B,!gxMD&铁M./SAe^QשF½|SˌDإbj|E7C<bʼNpr8fnߧFrI.{1fVԅ$21(t}kJV1/ ÚQL×07#]fVIhcMZ6/Hߏ bW`Gv Ts'BCt!LQ#JxݴyJ] C:= ċ(tRQ;^e1/-/A_Y)^6(p[_&N}njzb\->;nVb*.7p]M|MMM# ud9c47=iV7̪~㦓ødfÕ 5j z'^9J{rJЃ3Ax| FU9…i3Q/B)LʾRPx)04N O'> agYeHj*kblC=hPW!alfpX OAXl:XVZbr Zy4Sw3?WӊhPxzSq]y    L# @0(  B S  ?  3JC1DB'zwBojx  @ @UnknownG.[x Times New Roman5Symbol3. .[x Arial7..{$ CalibriC.,*{$ Calibri LightA$BCambria Math"qh{G{Gj j !20 K@P  $Po2!xx9H Donald B JonesBrianne R Murphy Oh+'0|  8 D P\dltDonald B JonesNormalBrianne R Murphy2Microsoft Office Word@F#@6@6j  ՜.+,0 hp|     Title  !"$%&'()*-Root Entry F?6/1Table WordDocument.SummaryInformation(DocumentSummaryInformation8#CompObjr  F Microsoft Word 97-2003 Document MSWordDocWord.Document.89q
