Substantive Change Proposal - Saddleback College

ates are monitored annually. These statistics are available through our inFORM
database and are published annually in the Institutional Effectiveness Annual Report
produced by the district research office
(http://www.socccd.org/technologyandlearning/tl_irp_reports.html).
Finally, an annual Online Student Satisfaction Survey is administered to students in all
online sections. The information generated by this survey has been extremely useful in
ensuring the effectiveness of the program. Overall, students are very satisfied with all
aspects of the program. In the fall 2009 survey, 76% of those who took the survey said
they would continue to take online courses at Saddleback College and 91% said that
they would recommend our online courses to a friend. We also ranked between
excellent and very good in all of the rating questions pertaining to areas such as
responsiveness of faculty; clear expectations of faculty; timely updating of course
materials; timely grading of exams and assignments; application process; counseling
and advisement; disabled student services; library; and technical support
(https://www.saddleback.edu/asenate/DistanceEducation.html).
Moreover, courses and programs offered online follow the same guidelines for student
learning outcomes (SLOs) assessment and program review as our face‐to‐face courses
and programs. The SLO assessment and program review processes are monitored by
the Educational Planning and Assessment (EPA) chair, a faculty member on full
reassigned time, and the EPA Committee.
