Immediate Concerns
- insuffiecient audio courses: esp. 200 level
- same with video … we think
- no data on numbers who can’t get in – can waiting list be kept on-line?
[Wendy volunteered to look at how many non-majors are in the video classes, this would give an indication as IM students have priority]
- Animation – group discussion to conceptualize overall animation sequencing: computer, traditional, etc.
- AREA ORIENTATION needed in first year, again in first term, and again in Hybrid Media.
- action: include overview facilities (and curriculum) orientation in first year syllabus.
- Introduce technicians, Review facilities in Hybrid
- WEB faculty need to get together for curriculum develoopment re:2007/2008 ALL FACULTY NEED TO BE AWARE 07/08 CURRICULUM WILL BE DUE IN NOVEMBER 2006.
- Publications Digital raises naming conventions. On Line Course Calendar searches do not turn up courses addressing Web unless Web is in the title.
- (Johanna will contact IT to see if the search engine can be improved]
