Common use of Course Development and Support Clause in Contracts

Course Development and Support. 1. Faculty who develop a new class, or adapt a traditionally taught class, for distance learning delivery will receive development pay or release time equivalent to at least one hour per week per credit hour of the new or adapted class. The amount of release time or development pay will be agreed to in advance in writing. In the absence of an agreement, such development will be considered voluntary by the faculty member. 2. Some courses, either by the nature of their subject matter or due to frequent changes in course management software or other critical educational technology, must undergo more than normal periodic revision. In such cases, additional release time or development pay will be granted by mutual agreement. 3. Methods of presentation and course materials are to be under the control of the faculty member developing or teaching the distance education course. 4. Faculty who, by mutual agreement with the College, develop distance learning courses through significant effort on their part shall have the right of first refusal to teach such courses for up to two (2) years or three (3) offerings, whichever is the greater number of offerings. This right does not apply: a. in the case of “work for hire,” where the College pays only for the development of a course and there is clearly no expectation that the developer will be the instructor of the course. b. if the instructor is no longer a member of this Association. 5. The College will designate a common learning management system that it will provide and support. With agreement between the faculty member, Xxxx, and Vice President of Instruction and Student Services, an alternate learning management system may be used. 6.
