INSTRUCTION NOTES 11/15/02

Curriculum Development Grants
The Curriculum Development Review Task Force (representing Faculty Senate and the administration) met on
October 24, 2002 to review all 17 proposals and recommended funding the following:

Wendy Norris and Kenneth Atkins- to create online "templates" for courses that could provide direction for future faculty
John Govsky- to design and develop an online Intermediate Web Publishing course
Scott Robinson- to develop curriculum for an online Digital Media course entitled Introduction to Information Architecture
Jay Siskin- to develop an online French 3 course
Christy Vogel- to develop a bank of laboratory experiments and the development of a corresponding lab manual
Skip Epperson and Robin Aronson- to create an online course entitled Theatre Appreciation
Mo Hassan- to develop Business Law to be offered online
Nancy Stucker- to design and develop an online version of Spanish 3
Tom Sourisseau and Alicia Steinhardt- to develop Biology 13A as an online class
Jacqueline Shuirman and Topsy Smalley- to redesign Library 10 to function effectively in the online environment and put Library 10 online

Criteria used in decision making were faculty experience in creation and use of web sites and daily communication via the web, courses helping reach the college goal of a distance degree, classes with a potential of reaching a new audience, support of learning using technology mediated instructional support.

Fast Track to Work
In a new report, the Workforce Strategy Center, a consulting group that is doing national research on community colleges, has named Fast Track To Work as a model program in moving welfare recipients into well-paying jobs. Catherine Lachance was given an honorable mention award at the recent annual Workforce Investment Board award luncheon for "outstanding service to participants." Four of Cabrillo's newly hired staff that were introduced at
All-College Day are former Fast Track students!
