Some of you have volunteered to be the contact persons for your language and to work on outlines to be revised between now and early next semester. This is very important, as the College will not let us offer courses with outlines older than 2004 for Fall 2014. The ultimate goal is that we revise our outlines on a 6 year cycle so none of our outlines is older than 6 years. The sooner we get to that place the better! It is important for accreditation.
Prepare/Revise your Course Outline of Record.
- Find the old outline on the Office of Instruction website. OR prepare your new course outline.
- Revise/prepare your outline using the Curriculum Committee Handbook and the TRACE checklist.
- Be sure that the Major Learning Outcomes use leading verbs from Bloom’s taxonomy that can be found on this list (p. 46-48 of the Curriculum Committee handbook- link below).
- Submit your revised draft Course Outline to Technical Review. Watch this 2 minute video to see how to do this. http://youtu.be/u-sVJktaCB4 (Or just scroll down to see it)
- After you have submitted your outline to Tech Review, wait a while. After the review is complete, you will receive an email from your Reviewer with a link to a page containing suggestions to make your outline perfect. (In some instances, you may be able to skip directly to step #6). SAVE THIS EMAIL. YOU WILL NEED THAT LINK AGAIN!
- Make the changes suggested by your reviewer.
- Then, resubmit your outline following the instructions on the page that is linked in the email from your reviewer. Be sure to let your reviewer know that you’ve submitted a new version of the outline.
- If you’ve done what was asked, your reviewer will indicate that your item is “ready to “agendize” the outline. You’re almost done!
- Once your reviewer has agendized the outline, you’ll need to follow the directions on the page in the link (referred to in #3). You’ll make a final copy, get the appropriate signatures, then send to the Curriculum Committee co-chair.
- BE SURE TO SEND A COPY of your Word file TO CHARLES AND CAROL.
- Be sure to attach a note to the envelope or outline!
- No note, no service!
- In the note, state which meeting the outline is for,
- include the TRACE checklist,
- and any other relevant information.
