Proposed Compensation for Online Course Development

Faculty compensation will be available for each online course developed through an application process. Course developers will submit a proposal for compensation of the course converted to online modality.  The Distance Learning Advisory Committee will determine the amount of compensation based on the extent of development.  The quality of development will be based on a pre-determined rubric with specific criteria. The amount of compensation will be up to $1,800 per course for full conversion to online modality with at least 80% of course material online.  Fully converted courses will be given first budgetary priority.  A course developer may submit a proposal for compensation for any online enhancement to the course.  Payment will occur after the course has been developed.

The Distance Learning Committee will allocate compensation for proposals from an annual budget set aside for this purpose.  Consideration will be given only after the deans and department chairs approve the development of a particular course to be delivered online.
