Project Charge

Each steering committee, co-chaired by a representative of each system, is charged with the following:

Develop courses and programs, as specifically described below, for distance learning delivery by providing grants to faculty and by purchasing already developed courseware.
Begin the delivery of developed or purchased courseware during FY97 and/or FY98.
Identify the students which the pilot project is intended to serve and choose the most appropriate mix of distance delivery technology for these students and the subject area.
Determine the resources which will be required to accomplish their tasks and prepare a budget for that purpose by October 31.
Suggest how all campuses with academic programs in each subject area should integrate the courses into their curricula.
Oversee and monitor the progress of course development.
Prepare a presentation and appear before appropriate committees of the 1997 legislature reporting on the progress of the project.
