1. Helaine Korn named acting director of institutional research
TO: The Baruch Community
FROM: David Dannenbring
Provost
RE: Professor Helaine Korn as Acting Director of Institutional
Research
I am delighted to announce that Professor Helaine Korn of the
Management Department has agreed to serve as Acting Director of
the Office of Institutional Research and Program Assessment. In her
role as Acting Director, Professor Korn will chair the search committee
for a permanent Director. Research and assessment are of
increasing importance throughout higher education, particularly with
accrediting organizations. Professor Korn will lead an investigation
into how a reconfigured office might strengthen and broaden
institutional research and program assessment throughout the
institution. We are fortunate to be able to draw on Helaine's skills and
expertise. Please join with me in providing your support.

6. CUNY request to faculty with online components or full courses
online to register for central site
To: Baruch Faculty
From: Prof. Marios Koufaris
The CUNY Online Distributed Learning Network is reaching out to
faculty who conduct online courses for help in building its database of
online courses. The main point of this is to give students (as well as
faculty) interested in online instruction a one-stop spot for online
offerings in CUNY. I will be getting contact information for registration
through the CUNY Council of Registrars, but everything else comes
from the faculty themselves. (One important issue is that we need to
respect a fair amount of flexibility and variation in how online courses
-- and the online components of hybrid courses -- play out; we also
need a more flexible timetable than registrars can allow for printed
course schedules -- since anything you would want them to say about
online offerings would have to have been submitted already --
perhaps before you were ready to decide what you wanted to be said.)
So I'm asking you each to fill out the online course information form
for any Fall 2002 asynchronous or hybrid course offering you'll be
teaching at http://www.dln.cuny.edu/courseform.html . Note that an
asynchronous course is conducted exclusively online whereas a
hybrid one has at least one third of the course conducted online.
We would like you to fill out the form as fully as possible, but the
only required field is your e-mail (so we can get back to you with
questions, and also allow you a final review of the submitted
information before putting it up). If you want to see how this will
look, we have a partial prototype at
http://cunyonline.cuny.edu/dln/nyctc.html
The use of NYC Tech as the example was fairly arbitrary. Note that the
various sort functions haven't been enabled. Still, this gives you the
basic idea.
If you have any questions please contact the Baruch campus liaison to
CUNY Online, Marios Koufaris at [log in to unmask]
