Web Class Scheduling Procedures
It is the approved policy of ECTC that all instructors offering stand alone Web classes will use a KYVC approved instructional platform and will offer their course through KYVC. Instructors must receive appropriate training prior to offering a stand alone Web class.
To schedule a new stand-alone Web Class:
-
Gain approval for offering the class via the Web from your Division and Division Chair.
-
Once approved, the Division Chair will communicate the appropriate information to the Academic Dean’s Administrative Assistant, the PeopleSoft Administrator, and 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, class cap, instructional platform (Blackboard or other approved platform) and textbook information.
-
The PeopleSoft Administrator will enter the class onto the PeopleSoft system with the correct coding that indicates the class is a Web class.
-
Once a class is coded in PeopleSoft that it is a Web class, KCTCS/KYVC is notified by the PeopleSoft system of the Web class.
-
KCTCS/KYVC creates the class shell in Blackboard.
-
The Distance Learning Coordinator creates the class section and submits to KYVC. If this is a new class, the coordinator first creates a new class, then new section.
-
Once the class section is created and submitted to KYVC, the instructors has access to the course shell in BlackBoard at www.elearning.kctcs.edu.
-
The instructor may now log into their new class, using their KCTCS email user name and password and begin creating instructional material.
-
As students enroll in the class, PeopleSoft automatically adds the enrolled student to the class.
-
KCTCS will send e-mail to students with information on how to log on to the class.
