By Rachel Taylor, Univ of Delaware Review
At a hearing Monday, Faculty senators debated reforming the university’s online education policy to reflect current standards of teaching. Senators discussed freshmen access to online classes and updates to make policy technologically current. Deni Galileo, biology professor and the president-elect of Faculty Senate, said the hearing intended to address the online education guidelines, which have not been revised for 20 years. “It’s very archaic,” Galileo said. “It talks about videotaping lectures and this is from the era when they would video tape the professors’ lectures, put them in a box and ship them to a secondary site.” Galileo said he hopes the revisions will last for at least a decade before needing updates. He edited policies and put them up for discussion among attending faculty.
