At MiraCosta College, individual faculty and departments have a great deal of freedom and power (and responsibility) when it comes to developing and offering quality online classes and programs. While all MiraCosta faculty are responsible for following MiraCosta's policies and procedures for distance education, departments can and do take many additional approaches to support student success online.

This appendix to the MiraCosta DE Handbook provides ideas and examples to inform:

Department chairs
Faculty who provide online education leadership within their departments
Or any faculty who want to learn more about collegial support for online education occurring at the MiraCosta department level
