Council on Online Education
In an address to the University Senate, President Holloway stated the need for the Rutgers community to “think creatively and with intention about how we clarify our presence in the online space, and in doing so, better serve our students,” by announcing the creation of a universitywide council that will be responsible for advancing this work.
The Council on Online Education contributes to improving all aspects of the online education experience throughout the student lifecycle by advising on universitywide policies, practices, expectations, and investments.
Convened by the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Council is charged to:
- Monitor the current state of online education at Rutgers and progress against universitywide goals
- Enable ongoing two-way communication and idea exchange with chancellor-led academic units
- Review and advise on the revision of existing and the addition of new policies, practices, and investments in areas that would benefit from greater universitywide coordination
- Inform opportunities for intentional and appropriate growth of online programs at Rutgers as part of the academic portfolio and provide advice on the revision of existing and the addition of new policies, practices, and investments to support the success of these efforts.
- Advise on future opportunities for establishing Council-convened subgroups or task forces
The council includes members by nomination from the chancellor-led units and the University Senate, and ex-officio members from the Office of the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Office of Information Technology.
