Create a New Course or Revise an Existing One – Credit and Noncredit

If you are planning on creating a new course or revising an existing one you will do this through CurrIQunet.  The Curriculum chair is available to provide training.

Request a Course to be Offered via Distance Education (Online)

This can be done via CurrIQunet as of Fall 2020. In order to assure 508 compliance, it is advised to have as much of the proposed DE course content built as possible:

• At a minimum, faculty are required to have at least four modules (four weeks) of the proposed DE version of the course Canvas shell built.
• One of the minimum of four modules needs to be the first module containing all course information (syllabus, policies, resources, instructor-student/student-student contact frequency, etc.) required for the student to begin the course.
• The modules in the proposed DE course should be reasonably robust and should contain samples of all content that would be present in the actual course.
  • Examples of this possible content are: pages, quizzes, discussions, assignments, images, video, audio, links, downloadable documents, tables, lists, color, etc.
• The proposed DE course must be approved for its accessibility check by the DE Office prior to submitting the DE request in CurrIQunet. Please attach to the DE request proposal in CurrIQunet the CVC Course Design Rubric final report document indicating that the course has passed its accessibility check.

You will also need to attach Division minutes indicating a vote of approval to offer the course via DE.  The Division minutes should indicate an approval for this course to be offered in the online or hybrid format. 

If a course has previously been approved for hybrid delivery and you’d now like to offer the course via online delivery, please submit a DE request through CurrIQunet for this modality. The accessibility check for this course will be considered as having been already approved.

The DE Addendum Review Criteria document below can be used as guidance when completing the request for Distance Education in CurrIQunet:
