Additional Minutes Notes
Regarding the Change in Course Modes, there was some discussion. Clarity was sought and given on --the funds returned to the program for various modes of course offering. --permissions and training required to offer a hybrid or online course. (The "Essentials of Online Teaching" could be helpful to instructors planning to include some online portion in a course that previously was only face-to-face [FTF].) --flipped classes (they can still be considered FTF but it might be helpful to students to categorize such a course as hybrid if it includes a significant amount of required outside-of-class activity. --an FTF course can require tests and/or examinations to be taken online.
