**Bellevue College**: Find guidelines for Faculty, Students and Staff at @http://bellevuecollege.edu/flu/. The guidance for faculty includes suggestions on how to "Flu-proof Your Course".

**Bellingham Technical College**: Wikispaces page created for Emergency Prep -  http://btcresources.wikispaces.com/Closure+Ideas

**Cascadia:** Cascadia is planning to move instruction online in the case of extended college closure.


 * During the college Pre-Fall days, all non ANGEL faculty will be required to attend a 90 minute ANGEL/Elluminate training session. Adjunct faculty will be compensated for attendance.
 * Faculty are required to come up with a plan for continuity of instruction, but the plan need not be the use of ANGEL or Elluminate.
 * Faculty are encouraged to test their plan early in the quarter.

**Clover Park Technical College**
 * Angel classrooms for all courses
 * Elluminate
 * Deans to identify essential courses, and bring faculty on-board
 * Minimal training for Elluminate or Angel

**Gray's Harbor:**

GHC executive mgmt is discussing this issue now. A minority of f.t. p.t. face2face instructors have Angel training and skills, so that training would be hard to implement to have a significant effect by November -- flu season.

Currently very few GHC org mbrs have Elluminate moderator skills, but one thought is that Elluminate moderator training might be easier to organize, take less time and might be an easier transition for traditional face2face instructors.

**Green River:**

Green River's public H1N1 website is here @http://www.greenriver.edu/h1n1flu/ and our detailed plan is here. eL is referenced in section 10.50

**Highline:**
 * Highline is transitioning to ANGEL in the fall. Have lots of videos and other materials available
 * Believes that the administration thinks that if the college has to close they could move everything online, eLearning staff is trying to help them understand the logistics
 * All students now have accounts and the logistics are more possible, trying to get more headsets out there.

**Lake Washington Technical College:**

We are offering three 2-hour angel/elluminate workshops during inservice days prior to school starting with strong support from our VP of instruction. During the 2 hours we will cover basic core elements (as discussed earlier) for faculty to be up and running in Angel and elluminate. We've created Angel shells for all existing fall classes (not all faculty have accts)and set up accts for all full-time faculty in elluminate.

**Lower Columbia College:**

We are recommending that each instructor develop and practice a plan for how to continue instruction in the event of a campus closure. We are suggesting that the minority of instructors not already familiar with ANGEL complete individualized instruction now. Adjunct faculty have an optional training and full time instructors a mandatory continuity planning training session during the welcome back for fall week. ANGEL and Elluminate training sessions will be offered (as usual) for new faculty throughout the Fall '09 quarter. Instructor accounts for all have been created but not activated and will be activated upon request. Course shells for every class on campus will be created in an emergency from a pre-prepared text file. Most students on campus already have ANGEL accounts but the remainder can be quickly created from a text file as well. The continuity training will cover other contingencies as well, including planning for a prolonged network or ANGEL outage.
