Whereas collaborative learning, team teaching, computer-aided instruction, and distance education are critical to effective instruction, and
Whereas such innovations can significantly alter the definition of instructional workload and fair compensation, and
Whereas the Carnegie unit definition of lecture, lecture-lab and lab are based on traditional delivery systems, and
Whereas this situation is seriously impeding our ability to institutionalize the most effective delivery systems for our students,
Resolved that the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges sponsor a breakout session to discuss the implications of innovations such as collaborative learning, team teaching, computer-aided instruction, and distance education for workload measures and professional standards, and
Resolved that the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges direct the Executive Committee to consider preparing a working paper on that topic for a future session.
