Per the Review Team’s recommendation, the Art Department will also seek assistance from Research, Analytics and Reporting (RAR) to discuss how National Student Clearinghouse data may be used to further track students who transfer from its programs, both with and without graduating. The new Learning Management System that the college will be moving to in Summer 2015 will have an ePortfolio component – the department is strongly encouraged to explore how this be of benefit to their students. In progress Completed No longer applicable Art Department faculty are currently completing eLearn training in preparation for conversion to the new Learning Management System during Summer 2015. As suggested by the Review Team, faculty will explore the ways in which the ePortfolio component may benefit Art students. The department mentioned space challenges in the self-study – is the allocation of space in the department aligned with student demand? What shifting of space utilization might be done to better accommodate the needs of students? The department is encouraged to work with the campus Manager of Space Analysis to explore how its needs might be better met given the existing space constraints. In progress Completed No longer applicable Historically, the Art Department has worked to address utilization issues to better accommodate the needs of students. Meetings have taken place between the Art Department Chair, the LCS Division Dean, The Director of Facilities Management and the campus Manager of Space Analysis to explore how the Department’s needs might be better met given existing space constraints. As noted in Section II: Progress Since the Most Recent Review, the Department’s greatest space-related challenge exists in the Printmaking studio, Room 13-326. No progress has been made to expand or relocate the Printmaking studio. The Art Department will continue to include this goal as being highly desirable; however, this request involves Facilities Management approval to move forward.
