Colleagues:
To follow up on Andy's question from yesterday, the Higher Ed Opportunity Act of 2008 calls for protocols for authentication for students in "distance education" courses (courses designated O and FO in the CUNYfirst dialect). I could not find terse language to share with you from the US DOE website (I will share if I unearth something useful). On the other hand, Middle States offers good advice on this topic:
· http://www.msche.org/documents/Distance-Education-and-the-Higher-Education-Opportunity-Act.doc
· http://www.msche.org/documents/implementing-the-accreditation-provisions-in-the-HEOA.ppt
I'm also attaching a document with the text in place for CUNY SPS (and I believe also John Jay) regarding current protocols.
The modes of instruction memo is also attached (in larger font, and in full!).
I look forward to continued discussion.
Best,
Eva
