1. Creation of a new course in a totally-online format: $450 per credit; and,
2. Conversion of an existing face-to-face course to a totally-online format: $300 per credit. Depending on funding availability, other forms of eLearning course development may be considered using the RFP process described in Section D above.

All other terms and conditions related to this activity will be as outlined in the Agreement for Providing Content Materials for Shoreline Community College Produced Online Courses.
Course Development Compensation. When the College approves the development of a new course or conversion of an existing course, it will support this development through stipends or release time. New course suggestions may be submitted by employees to their appropriate supervisor. The faculty member will apply through their direct supervisor to create a new or convert an existing course to online-only or hybrid instructional modality. Course conversion to online or hybrid must be approved through the eLearning process. Faculty understand that it may be necessary for the Vice President of Instruction to review courses for accreditation purposes. Employees who develop new courses or convert existing courses shall be compensated by stipend and/or release time. Such compensation or release time will be specifically addressed in the written assignment and agreed upon by the employee and the appropriate supervisor. If release time is determined, the amount of time shall be five (5) hours per credit
