competency, and improved performance of Distance Education

DE programs

Education.
SPECIAL NOTE: |
The Chancellor’s Office has developed a set of learning modules and instructional materials on distance education administration in the California Community College System entitled Distance Education Coordinators Online (DEConline). While primarily developed to assist distance education coordinators, any individual can use these modules to learn about the administration of distance education in the California Community College System.
In addition to individual usage, the materials may also be used as part of an instructional program for credit and/or continuing education units where arranged. These may include California community colleges and through partnerships, the University of California, the California State University, and/or private colleges/universities. When offered as an instructional course, a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between the Chancellor’s Office of the California Community College District and partners (if any) must be developed prior to the course being offered.
