**9:00a-4:00p Meeting Location: Longhouse/Elluminate** §   Welcome offered from Dr. Thomas Keegan, President § Establish Quorum/General Reports - Quorum established. § Treasurers Report - we have more money than we need at the moment. We need to either spend more or collect less. The ELC had several ideas about how we could spend more, including training initiatives, bringing in outside speakers and more. § SBCTC/WAOL Updates - Cable & Connie § ELC Boot Camp - Connie reported that the SBCTC is rethinking the ELC boot camp. ELC members concurred as to the value of the face to face experience. § WAOL Advisory Council activities § Revised Elearning Coding Vote - The ELC had a lively discussion about codes, and unanimously decided to approve the new coding. This coding is expected to be implemented Summer 2010. <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family: Wingdings; mso-fareast-font-family: Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; msobidifontfamily: Wingdings; msofareastfontfamily: Wingdings; msolist: Ignore; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt;">§ <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msobidifontfamily: Arial;">Council Communication Discussion <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family: Wingdings; mso-fareast-font-family: Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; msobidifontfamily: Wingdings; msofareastfontfamily: Wingdings; msolist: Ignore; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt;">§ <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msobidifontfamily: Arial;">ELC List serve: Open vs Closed: Why is this an issue? Ed is having to approve or diaspprove new members of the listserv. Some people are wanting to join the list to get some of the information that we are sharing. Historically, it is closed so that we can have some of our policy discussions in a more secure area. We have an eLearning listserv that is open, but it is not used very effectively. Connie also has a concern that information is not always getting forwarded to faculty that they need to know. We decided to have a small group address it in the working lunch groups.

 * //Student achievement initiative// - a performance based funding model that we will need to live with.
 * //HEC Board// - becoming more political and looking more at how the system can produce more b<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">acalaurate degrees, moving from a 9 month to a 12 month calendar, and other efficiencies.
