MELA Minutes 2020-2021

3. Tish stated that we need to include a caveat in ET that changes may be made after registration has been completed due to registration beginning so much earlier than normal. This would ensure that students would be notified that changes may occur being it will be printed on their ET student profile. 4. Amanda Hood made the motion for self-registration to begin in ET on Tuesday, October 13. Buffy Matthews seconded. Motion carried. 5. Amanda Hood asked Krista Lebrun if she needed this request formalized in any way. Krista stated to make sure it was notated in the minutes of this meeting. She also stated that she would make the presidents aware of this motion as well and as long as none of them were opposed to this, she would make the change in ET. 6. Krista informed Audra Kimble of this motion since the CAO’s vote on items as well. Audra Kimble requested that Denise Gillespie write up the proposal and send in so that the CAO can vote on this as well. K. Canvas TLS Protocols (Christa Wilhite) 1. Christa Wilhite just wanted to provide a reminder to the group about this. L. MELA Course Revision (Christa Wilhite) 1. There will be two courses; one active course and one archived course. The design will change based on the theme for the MELA Retreat. 2. Wilhite provided a demo of the course redesign she has been working on. 3. Tish mentioned to make sure to remember to make it searchable so that when we are looking for something, it will be easier to find. M. OPEN FORUM: 1. Alan Kinsey is leaving Holmes.
