Title: eCourses
Description:
eCourses (http://www.gc.maricopa.edu/ecourses)
is a web application that allows faculty to use a single point of entry
for all
online, hybrid and open entry students.
All
online, hybrid and open entry courses are populated into a database
that
faculty can update through the eCourses web site. Faculty
authenticate against their Memo
account which pulls up courses that they’re assigned to in the GCC
Student
Information System. When Faculty login
they will have access to courses that they are instructor of record for. Faculty can then update specific information
about their course such as, if the course uses a course management
system, specific
instructions on how to start the course as well as contact information
for the
instructor.
Students
can quickly navigate the eCourses site to find a specific course and
section
number. Each course and section number
contains all of the course information that the instructor has updated
as well
as a link back to the official course schedule information. Every page also contains information on how
to enroll in a course online.
The
eCourses web site improves upon the quality and effectiveness of
education for
students by providing them an efficient way to start their alternative
delivery
course. The eCourse website organizes a
collaborative
effort for every department’s online, hybrid and open entry course
Executive Summary:
The
eCourses(http://www.gc.maricopa.edu/ecourses)
web site is a web application that allows faculty to use a single point
of
entry for all online, hybrid and open entry students.
Having a single starting point for all
online, hybrid and open entry course avoids confusion for students and
allows
faculty the flexibility to use various content delivery systems.
