Addendum 1 - Online Course Information

A1.8- Not Accepted Course Types
To clarify what an online course is, here are examples of what is not acceptable and will result in a breach of the employee’s contract:

E-mail only correspondence- sending of a syllabus and exchanging work assignments. (Why: 1. “Accreditation.” 2. Course location see Addendum 1.1)
Building-While-Teaching a course. (Why: A course must pass IMIC quality control process before it can be offered.)
SCPS course section numbers used as a loophole for faculty overload or as an alternative of independent study sections. (Why: Internet courses must meet the IMIC standards that constitute the requirements of an online course.)
A syllabus and a set of online tests. (Why: Course is incomplete, where is the content?)
Independent Study or “section 103” courses converted to have an online section designation.
Courses that do not follow the developmental guidelines found in Addendum 6.
“Courses” designed to cheat the system or use improper channels to save time and collect “easy money.”
Courses that use E-packs in which hyperlink to content hosted on a Non-SUU LMS server (WebCT) that belongs to a publisher. (Why: Online Campus courses are owned by SUU. Also see Addendum 1.1.)
