Marge Skold volunteered to be a substitute representative, if needed. Suanne explained that she would be giving an overview on what is being done with distance education. The LAAP Grant funds will help expand services and instruction for distance learners. A supplemental funding request is being submitted to fully develop a one-stop web site for distance learners. In addition, there is an effort with 4-year colleges to request funds for a statewide catalog and degree audit system.
All community colleges have different degree requirements.
Suanne explained that that is not being changed. The purpose is to make it easier for students to access the information. Community colleges will need to build their own catalogs. The University of Washington has expressed a lot of interest in the LAAP grant and supplemental budget work. Phil Sheehan asked if this was a Virtual Campus Consortium project.
