We've received a number of course reviews back from eCampus in the last while, and they have consistently been very positive. The reviewers have commented on the courses being well designed, well written, interactive, etc. Thanks to all of you for the hard work you put into ensuring these courses meet quality standards / expectations. You are the people who make this happen, and even though it's good to get positive reviews from eCampus, it's more important to know that we are providing students with a quality learning experiences!
We have a reputation at the eCampusAlberta table for developing quality courses. Sheila, the lead reviewer, always tells me that our courses are a pleasure to review!
You may find it interesting to know that the combination of centralized and decentralized organization at Lethbridge College around DL / online learning is quite unique. We (EET) are the "centralized" in this process as we support course development as well as advocate for DL / online learning across all College processes, including such areas as the DL Operations Team, registration, DL / online instructor pay, PD for online instructors, orientations, etc), while the programs have responsibilities as well for determining which courses get developed, who the SMEs are, and who teaches it and when. It's a very collaborative process. Many of the other institutions are decentralized, so the programs are responsible for the entire process, including development, registration, etc. etc.
I learn about these things when I attend the eCampus Alberta meetings, listen to the other institutions describe their environments, and talk with the other reps about the challenges we all face. We have a good thing going!

Sounds like it was a positive meeting. I look forward to hearing more about the processes those campuses who are more decentralized have. We are very lucky to have such a great team!
