Committee on Distance Education (CoDE)

  • 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.
