Item	Discussion / Comments / Outcome
Course Approval	In a separate meeting on March 27, Anna Degtyareva reviewed online course, Microcomputer Applications, COMP 16. Course was approved.
Meeting Schedule	Only two EDC meetings remain for Spring Semester, April 27 and May 11. Web CT will be present at the May 11th meeting and will provide lunch.
Growth	Forty-six Distance Learning classes will be offered for Fall. Kerry Stern will meet with Sharon Valentine, Joanne Greenspan, and Chris Magoni regarding the scheduling of Distance Learning classes. For the program to grow, several issues need to be addressed: problems with ICCIS mandatory prerequisites not enough teachers need for support and flexibility from academic departments.
Survey	Carol Craig and Terri Beam, with input from Barbara Mezaki and Ralph Jagodka, revised the Online Course Student Survey. EDC offered suggestions for more revisions. This will be a pilot study for surveying online students. Discussion ensued on how the information will be dispersed and used. A letter will be sent via email to online instructors to explain the survey.
Other	Kerry will purchase copies of the "Faculty Guide for Moving Teaching & Learning to the Web" for EDC members. A suggestion was made to compile a catalog of sample web pages for online instructors.
