Online students do have access to the campus library and computer labs. Throughout the discussion, participants expressed both satisfaction and concern or dissatisfaction with areas of their online experience. In both cases, if a student is unhappy with an instructor, it should be recorded in the evaluations. Evaluations are received by Continuing Education and forwarded to the instructor and the department chairperson. Online courses use the same evaluation form as do oncampus courses.
Most instructors develop and create their online courses.
As a result, the course will be a reflection of the instructor's preference and will vary from instructor to instructor. Before a course is offered online it is subjected to many hours of beta testing by an online instructional designer and a report is sent to the instructor and the department chair. All online courses are subjected to the same beta test process. Until corrections are made, as per the beta test recommendations, it does not go online. Online classes are built to be equivalent in content to oncampus classes.
