The following project has been modified by Frank Elmore.
Project Name
SAAAC - Syllabi Archiving
Project Sponsor
Amanda Knapp
Project Description
What is the syllabi archive initiative?
An initiative that will provide faculty with a mechanism to post syllabi for each course/each semester that would be archived into a central repository. The syllabi archive would be made accessible to individuals with a UMBC login. While it is not possible to establish a formal policy requiring all faculty to post syllabi at the end of each semester (intellectual property rights issues), it has been deemed important to pursue a mechanism to make the option available.
Some background: In Spring 2013, the SGA reached out to the ASEC and the ASAC to request consideration of a policy (require faculty to post syllabi) much like the one recently passed at the University of Maryland, College Park. Following various conversations, ASEC and ASAC agreed to support SGA in the initiative with the understanding that this will only be pursued as a technical option - not a formal policy.
The items that have changed are:
Status from In-Progress to Completed
