From the Desk of the Executive Editor: Compensation and workload in distance learning

Enrollment. Determination of class size for a distance education class should be based on pedagogical considerations. Large sections should be compensated by additional credit in load assignment in the same manner as traditional classes. Compensation. Courses taught via distance education may be included as part of the faculty member’s regular load, or may constitute an overload, or a combination of both. The teaching responsibilities as they relate to assignments, scheduling, syllabi, papers and tests, shall be no different from those of the corresponding traditional course sections. Grades will be issued using the normal University procedures.
