ITV Class Scheduling Procedures
To schedule a class using the Interactive Television (ITV) system:
-
Gain approval for offering the class via ITV from your Division and Division Chair. Instructors must receive appropriate training prior to offering a class via ITV.
-
Once approved, the Division Chair will communicate the appropriate information to the Academic Dean’s Administrative Assistant and to the Distance Learning Coordinator.
-
Information the Division Chair communicates to the Distance Learning Coordinator includes course name, course number, course description, instructor (lead instructor if team taught), instructor’s e-mail address, and dates and times the course is to be offered.
-
The Distance Learning Coordinator will check the master ITV schedule to determine if the requested time slot is available. If not, the Division Chair will be notified and an attempt will be made to choose another time slot. ECTC classes receive highest priority, followed by classes offered to ECTC by other KCTCS colleges, classes offered by other colleges or universities, KCTCS meetings, then Kentucky state government meetings. All others are scheduled on “first come, first served”, if time is available. Charges may be applied to non-KCTCS clients.
-
If the time slot is available locally, the Distance Learning Coordinator will schedule the class on the statewide master schedule at the Center for Rural Development (CRD).
-
The CRD will request confirmation of available time from the receiving site.
-
If the receiving site does not confirm an availability of time or facilities, CRD will inform the Coordinator of Distance Learning, who will work with the Division Chair to select another time slot or cancel the class.
-
If the receiving site confirms, both sites list the class on their class schedules, indicating the class is an ITV class.
-
The PeopleSoft Administrator will enter the class onto the PeopleSoft system with the correct coding that indicates the class is an ITV class.
-
ITV classes may be scheduled with any other Kentucky ITV site, usually at no charge for the use of the ITV system or charge for the receiving site. For a list of available sites, contact the Distance Learning Coordinator.
-
ECTC requires a facilitator in the site that is the receiving site. The Distance Learning Coordinator will assist in hiring a facilitator. The Division may be responsible for the cost of the facilitator.
-
If the instructor chooses to visit the site that is normally the receiving site, the instructor must arrange to have a facilitator in the classroom that is normally the delivering site.
-
It is the responsibility of the instructor to assure that the Bookstore receives appropriate book adoption forms.
-
ITV courses must meet all appropriate ADA requirements.
