Is it April yet?

Hmm...I guess...I'd be anxious to see the full report to be fair.  But that would be my point too - was this a fair survey?  I dare say that if you surveyed a similar set of faculty members 30 years ago about SLO's and faculty's time and effort and pay with a 'pencil and paper versus electronic submissions of writings', you might get a similar "poo-poo-ing" of the quality, compensation and place in education.

Is it really fair to survey faculty and admin who don't teach online and/or are not interested in doing so?  What are they looking at when they assess the SLO's of online classes they are not privy to, against campus courses that they haven't sat-in on?

I've witnessed campus courses that were poorly delivered, as well as online courses that were pretty much 'self-delivered', as well as online courses that were rich of SLO's beyond many campus courses for the same subject.  However, I made an effort to go out and assess and compare courses.  How many faculty really know what they're dogging?

That's not to say that there is a huge need to improve, offer more and quality training, compensate for learning a new tool.  

Oh yeah, that reminds me - isn't a standard claim of anyone in education that we're not getting compensated enough for our time - especially extra time creating better learning opportunities and experience for students?
