ONLINE EDUCATION INITIATIVE

reported by Dan Crump

I am a member of the OEI Steering Committee, appointed by the ASCCC.  I am also a member of the OEI Library Services Workgroup.  Under the leadership of Jory Hadsell, OEI Chief Academic Officer, the workgroup is starting work on incorporating library services and standards in the OEI.  Other members of the workgroup include Will Breitbach (Shasta College), Nancy McEnery (Napa Valley College) and Alicia Virtue (Santa Rosa Junior College).  I have also been working with Barbara Illowsky, Dean of Basic Skills and OER, in the collection of modules to aid online learning, especially in the area of library skills.  An update on Canvas, six colleges are currently using the course management systems adopted by OEI and more than 40 other colleges have expressed interest.   Check www.ccconlineed.org for more info.
