Employees may apply for a contract for compensation
to create a distance learning course (telecourse,
teleweb, or web-centered) that will yield a unique
product that can be effectively offered in a distance
learning modality.

Compensation
may take the form of either a credit hour
equivalent workload reduction or a financial
award based upon the rate in effect and payable
on final approval of a review team and timely
delivery of a product as set forth in the
Distance Learning Course Development Contract.
The contract for the development of these
materials will be awarded based upon program
needs and institutional resources. The form
of compensation, that is, workload reduction
or cash payment, will be determined by the
appropriate supervisor (dean/director) and
the appropriate vice president (Vice President
for Instruction and Student Services or Vice
President for Extension Education and Economic
Development).

Any
course submitted in fulfillment of contractual
obligations will be subject to a review and
must meet final approvals before final compensation

of the contract. Employees awarded course
development contracts are expected to make
good-faith modification to the course as recommended
by the review team.

Community College will claim full and complete
rights of ownership of the course developed
as a result of this contract. Southwestern
