Online Sharing of Courses?

You never know who is doing what online.

Last July, the University Committee on Educational Policy (UCEP) of the systemwide Academic Senate passed along a proposal (with concerns) that online courses on a particular campus that had been created for the current coronavirus crisis could be shared with other campuses.

The sharing proposal does not seem to be one of allowing students from one campus to take courses via online means on another. Rather, it appears to suggest that canned materials such as videos that were created for a course could be used by another instructor on another campus to teach the same course. Exactly what this idea would mean in practice is unclear. Note that nothing - including the situation before the coronavirus crisis - would have precluded instructor X on campus Y from voluntarily sharing materials (say, PowerPoint slides or videos) with instructor A on campus B. The concern raised by UCEP seems to involve some kind of involuntary sharing.

In any event, you can read the UCEP letter and a response by the Academic Council at:
