HB8 has major implications for community colleges. If you are not from a property wealthy district, colleges are left on their own. HB8 funding will be based on outcomes. ACC needs to graduate more students. The chancellor would rather look at non-academic barriers that prevent students from graduation. For DE, we need to improve the student experience, faculty support and supporting faculty in making sure they have a quality designed course. ACC is losing students due to the lack of the student experience. The slideshow presentation is located at the bottom of this document.

DE offers live proctoring. The proctor meets with the student to give them the rules and guidelines, to do an environment check to make sure they are alone and only have authorized materials and to verify identity. The proctor watches for suspicious activity. If cheating is suspected it is reported to the faculty member. Everything is tracked and recorded. New proctors work with experienced proctors for training. There are administrative assistants available if there are problems. Zuleyka is working with IT to incorporate the lockdown browser with Class. It should be ready by the spring semester. There are plans to have an alternative method for students to get the passwords. Zuleyka is available to work departments if needed.
