Course Proposal and Approval System
View/ Open
Abstract
North Dakota State University (NDSU) Distance and Continuing Education (DCE) department makes learning resources of the institution available in a variety of traditional and non-traditional ways. It offers courses in various instruction modes to NDSU as well non-NDSU students. Courses offered by the DCE department must be approved at the department and college level. The DCE department currently uses a paper based process to prepare, submit and gain approvals. In this paper we propose, design and implement an online application to replace this paper-based process. The DCE department staff can use this application to electronically create and route course proposal requests for approval. Submitted course proposal requests are sequentially approved by the DCE department director, concerned department chairpersons and college deans by the using this application.
