Week+6+Questions+(for+Linda+Smith)


 * Interface design issues**

1) Do the instructors get training so the courses they teach in Moodle
 * meet section 508 and the Illinois Information Technology Accessibility Act standards?
 * follow Institutional branding requirements?

2) Before applying to LEEP, do prospective users/learners have the opportunity to preview the design and navigation of LEEP courses in Moodle?

3) How often is the course content updated in LEEP courses? In the LIS590EPL (Electronic Publishing by Allen Renear) syllabus page, there is mention of the course undergoing revisions dynamically as the term progresses. The instructor calls this a "living" syllabus. Is this a common feature among other courses as well? Can you give us more information on the frequency of course content updates in LEEP?
 * Pedagogical Issues**

4) Does LEEP collect learning preference information from prospective students in order to make online instruction effective?

5) We've seen the demographic breakdown of GSLIS students on the school's webpage. Is data available specifically for the LEEP program regarding the geographic location of students?
 * Ethical Issues**

6) Does GSLIS have a policy or standard practice regarding the scheduling of synchronous activities during religious or national holidays observed by students?
