High-quality online courses offer flexibility of scheduling to students who need and want it, and can produce student successful completion rates equal to those of on-site, face-to-face courses. The task force has identified challenges to increasing the number of high-quality online courses, and is taking steps to address them. COVID-19 provided a unique opportunity to excel progress in this area. An Instructional Continuity Committee, chaired by the provost and faculty senate chair, was formed to facilitate discussions related to this teaching and learning modality.
