+Should the department  provide resources to faculty who are developing OL and MOOCS on an ongoing basis, and if so, what types of resources and based on what criteria?
What resources does the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) provide?
 b) What role can and should online courses play in our existing courses?

c) How can current developments with OL and MOOCS help us provide the best education that we can for our students?

d) Decision making
-<
<
+OL cuts across many of our committee mandates. At least eight committees with a finger in the pie: Program Experience, Science Education Initiative, Teaching and Learning Services, Communications, Space and Safety, Faculty Affairs, Finance and Computing. So there's a need for communication, coordination and for some mandate engineering. 
Who is the champion? 
Where is the main forum?
->
>
+OL is now in the mandate of our Program Experience Cttee (PEC). PEC will take the lead.
But OL cuts across seven other committees: Science Education Initiative, Teaching and Learning Services, Communications, Space and Safety, Faculty Affairs, Finance and Computing. So there's a need for communication and coordination led by PEC.
 How do we decide on what facilities and support to offer?

e) Reasons for and against investing heavily in online courses
 . Longer term implications of OL

For universities in general, UBC in particular.
-<
<
+For Computer Science education in general, CS@UBC in particular. 
What OL strategy should we develop and adopt? How do we do that?
