Hi Larry,
This is what I'm thinking:
2 hybrid or web-enhanced ESL classes. Statistically, Hispanic students are not taking online courses at the same rate as other groups. This would be a way of easing them into it: a lower-level class (ESL522, being designed now by adjunct faculty Ann Shelley) that makes extensive use of a class website inside our course management system, and an upper level class (ESL556, taught by me) which could be a hybrid, or at least offer them the opportunity to complete a few meetings online rather than coming to class.
The ESL556 is an Information Comp for ESL students, so maybe we could throw in some connection to libraries? Part of student services? (priority 3). Or, argue that helping students into online programs expands their chances of taking our CSIS courses, many of which are online (priority 1 field of study).
I have no idea how to work this up into a budget, bigger plan.
