(This is not part of the above policy. There are several questions from the ACCJC Distance Learning Manual about technical support for students that will need to be addressed in the future: 1. “Proper training should be available for students in working independently and in utilizing the necessary technology.” [page 5] 2. “How does the institution provide assistance to students who are experiencing difficulty using the required technology?” [p.15]. According to Barbara Arthurs [2-7-07 e-mail to EO] it is okay to deal with these topics later when funding for technology support, including DE, will be provided. )
