Common use of Print Courses Clause in Contracts

Print Courses. a) Print courses may have a web presence which may require limited OLFM involvement and may require the use of computer technology as part of the course design. This may include the use of email discussion groups, electronic media, Learning Management System (such as Blackboard), e-learning tools (e.g. white boards), power point slides, conferencing, etc. OLFMs are not required to provide additional course content but rather to explain and assist students with existing course content using their personal and professional knowledge. This may include providing supplementary resources such as references or web sites. Additional duties due to the use of electronic technology, except those compensated for by the Technology Fee, must be compensated by reductions in other areas of course workload to ensure that the overall workload will remain the same. b) Students may choose to submit assignments electronically to OLFMs. c) During periods of time-sensitive course related learning activities, the OLFM will attempt, as a general rule, to respond to inquiries within one (1) business day. OLFMs will be expected to respond to email and other inquiries within two business days; an auto-reply message is acceptable during an OLFM’s days off or on General Holidays, or in cases of emergency absence of the OLFM. If the workload is such that an OLFM cannot meet this expectation they will contact the Director of Program Delivery or designate who will consider the individual circumstances and take appropriate steps to resolve the situation.
