  • A new Service Level Agreement (SLA) and catalog of offerings was developed and disseminated in April 2016. A business model was developed that helps us better predict our costs and ensure a sustainable operation. We have identified additional programing to offer during 2016/17, and have begun the process of collaborating with others on developing the content.

Community of Practice

  • New Media Consortium (NMC) membership has been renegotiated from / updated from SLN to Open SUNY COTE to provide access and a membership in NMC to one OS COTE Fellow at each campus (total 75 members).

Course Supports – OSCQR

  • Working with 38 campuses.
    • We have supported the installation of 23 OSCQR campus dashboards.
    • 350+ self-assessment rubrics have been generated.
    • We have worked to improve OSCQR and launch a new version of the rubric. The new rubric will have integrated accessibility standards and be more extensible for standards dealing with other topics. We are working with FACT2 task groups to develop standards relating to mobile learning, OER, and labs.
  • Continuing to explore possible Collaboration with OLC on their adoption of OSCQR.
