- The mission of the Committee on Distance Education (CoDE) is to develop policies and
promote practices that contribute to the quality and advancement of distance education
(DE) in support of the equitable achievement of all students participating in DE courses
at Glendale Community College (GCC).
In support of the institution’s Mission and Vision, GCC’s Committee on Distance Education (CoDE) works with the Distance Education Coordinator,
Distance Education Faculty Development Coordinator, Instructional Designer, Academic
Senate, Division Chairs, Associated Students of GCC (ASGCC), and other student groups
to facilitate and improve online teaching, learning and curriculum development. CoDE
collaborates with IT and others on the effective use of instructional technology.
CoDE recognizes that faculty have the primary responsibility for developing policies
and promoting distance education (DE) practices. In consultation with student representatives,
CoDE supports a learner-centered program designed to achieve equitable outcomes for
all students by making recommendations to the Academic Senate. Each CoDE member represents
their Division or constituency and acts as a resource to all members within their
division or constituency regarding the exploration, development, and implementation
of innovative, equitable, and effective pedagogical online strategies in the DE environment.
