I. Program Management

The provider employs the following to ensure effective program management:

ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT: INSTRUCTORS

EVIDENCE– District items:

• Article 3.0 - Management Rights and Responsibilities included in the Negotiated Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)

Unlike a ‘brick & mortar’ classroom, EVERY interaction in an online course is date & time stamped and persists as part of the digital data recorded in every online class. Program administration can easily monitor every course from their administrator learning management access account. If problematic trends were to develop, they would easily be able to intervene and check with the instructor.
