Ad-hoc Quality Online Education Commitee

Ad-hoc Quality Online Education Commitee

The Ad-hoc Quality Online Education Committee, which includes representation of faculty across the disciplines, supports these efforts to formulate a plan to continuously improve quality in FGCU online. FGCU Faculty participants are those who regularly teach online course and/or are interested in advanced classroom technology.

Committee Goals
