  5. Preparing/Submitting a Course Proposal I know where to go online to submit a course, here’s a hint • Instructor Toolbox Documents: Instructor Toolbox • New Instructors: Instructor Handbook • Use online documents to get the most current forms • Submit 60 days before the first day of course • Refer to Course Proposal Checklist: Course Proposal Checklist

Re-Activation - Approved Syllabus within last 5 years Activation Request Form and Course Syllabus Cover Sheet • Instructor Toolbox Documents: Instructor Toolbox

  7. Additional Forms or Documentation to Prepare/Submit a Course Proposal Solutionwhere Guide for Instructors Tips All Courses Dept Secretary should set up Room Reservations (Learning Center Room Reservation) and order Materials (Materials Request Form or Materials Form from Course_Syllabus_Cover_Sheet.docx).

  8. Additional Tips for a Course Proposal Copy Right All copy right rules must be followed when producing handouts or posting handouts online. AEA Resources – Cindy Blinkinsop or Julie Alfaro Number of Credits • 1 credit = 15 contact hours • 2 credits = 30 contact hours • 3 credits = 45 contact hours Sample Approved Course Syllabus Multicultural, Gender Fair (MCGF) Needs: All instructors need to be aware of the course materials to make sure different cultural, racial, ethnic, and genders are represented in addition to students with and without physical challenges. A quick search of “multicultural” on the AEA’s WEBMAX yielded 444 items found including numerous videos, books, and CDs for professional and student use. Searching “gender” yields 71 items, including 27 DE Streaming items.
