In Attendance: Lisa Frazier, Robert Hannu, John Newman, Gregory Schmaltz, Eric Woodman, Garry Heberer (ex-officio) Absent: James Elithorp, Karen Mowrey, Richard Southard, Squy Wallace Meeting was called to order at 8:05am Old Business: 1. Pahrump Campus Eric Woodman reports that the IAV and Internet connection at the Pahrump campus is now stable. Only 2 disconnects were reported in the last month. System Computing Services (SCS) has replaced equipment and streamlined the routing to improve the service. Additionally, they are moving ahead with increasing the service capacity at the campus. 2. Distance Education Purpose and Description The new description for the Distance Education Committee to include the addition of other emerging technologies now appears in the Senate Bylaws and is up on the website. Thanks go out Susanna Dorr. New Business: 1. Garry Heberer reports that a 28% increase in enrollment of web based courses has taken place since the Spring 2008 semester. The committee recognizes the importance of online and web based instruction. 2. The Distance Education Committee will be reviewing and updating its three year plan. 3. Faculty and students should see an improvement to service in WebCampus due to the addition of new hardware node to handle applications. 4. Faculty are reminded to back-up your WebCampus courses. The process is very easy and only takes a few minutes. 5. Lisa Frazier reports that the GBC video streaming server is working at over storage capacity. Approximately 1GB of video is being added per week. Efforts are ongoing in looking at costs and updating the server and having System Computing Services (SCS) provide more space. 6. Fall of 2009 will see the implementation of Blackboard 8 as the course management system for GBC. It has been explained there is no choice in the matter as WebCampus will be discontinued. It was reported that there should not be any large noticeable change in the look and operation from WebCampus. It was noted that GBC will NOT be piloting the Blackboard 8 system. Other institutions are already in the process of doing that. 7. Garry Heberer was recognized for his 10 years of service to the Distance Education Committee. He will be sorely missed. No meeting date was set for October. Meeting was adjourned at 8:55am. Minutes taken by John Newman.
