Instruction Fee for Shared Courses Will Change Fall 08
Based on the recommendation of the ELC and approved by the Instruction Commission, the WAOL Instruction Fee for Shared Courses will increase starting Fall 08. The current fee is $40 per credit per enrollment.
***New Fee Starting Fall 08: $50 per credit per enrollment***
Starting Fall 2008 WAOL will bill $50 per credit per enrollment to colleges that enroll students in SHARED courses on WAOL. The entire fee is passed through to the college that hires the instructor.
The fee has been $40 since WAOL started in 1998, but $40 no longer provides enough revenue to cover the costs of the college that hires the instructor. The ELC will work over the next year to develop a way to continue to keep the fee current.
Please note that the Instruction Fee is only for SHARED courses, that is, where the instructor and students are at different colleges. This is not the Technology Fee ($8 per credit per enrollment) that is applied to all courses supported by WAOL.
ANGEL Instructor Train the Trainer, September 11 OR 12
WAOL has purchased a total of 40 seats in Basic ANGEL Instructor Training. Identical sessions are scheduled for September 11 and 12. The sessions will be led by ANGEL trainers face-to-face in a computer lab. View the agenda.
Ø September 11 – Spokane Community College, Building 1, Room 1121
Ø September 12—Tacoma Community College, Building 28, Room 110
· Each college can send one person to one of the scheduled sessions. The idea is to send someone who will be providing support to your faculty who use ANGEL.
· The training is free.
· State Board eLearning team will provide lunch.
· Both sessions run from 9:00 to 4:30, and they will be identical.
· Send the name of the person who will attend from your college and the location/date you want to attend to Monique. First come, first served. If you will not be sending someone from your college, let us know so we can give that seat to someone else.
