DISTANCE EDUCATION FACULTY SURVEY - SPRING 2009
-
Aloha DE Faculty,

As you all know, the college has been mandated to assess an array of Distance Education practices and policies.

Findings from the faculty, staff, and student studies of our DE program are expected in the MidTerm WASC Accreditation Report.

We are administering this survey to include the findings in the Accreditation Report. The findings will also be shared at meetings with faculty, administration, and support staff associated with our DE program.

The discussion/review of the findings will lead to modifications and innovations that will improve the quality of our DE program.

Thanks for completing the survey!
