a)

[ ] No changes in program content. Proceed to Section 2.2.
Check all that apply. Describe each proposed change and why it is proposed.

[X] Cumulative change from SED’s last approval of the registered program of one-third or more of the minimum credits
required for the award (e.g., 20 credits for associate degree programs, 40 credits for bachelor’s degree programs)

] Changes in a program’s focus or design

] Adding or eliminating one or more options, concentrations or tracks

] Eliminating a requirement for program completion (such as an internship, clinical placement, cooperative education,
or other work or field-based experience). Adding such requirements must remain in compliance with SUNY credit
cap limits.

[ ] Altering the liberal arts and science content in a way that changes the degree classification of an undergraduate

program, as defined in Section 3.47(c)(1-4) of Regents Rules

[
[
[

Human Biology major’s is proposed to be revised in three significant ways:

e = The addition of a required eight-credit, two-course series of lab-based Human Anatomy & Physiology (AANT
316 & 318), which is a requirement for several postgraduate programs in the health sciences that many of our
students aspire to go on to after graduation (e.g., programs in physical therapy and physician assistant
programs).

e = Adjustments to a list of additional courses that satisfy what we call the ‘Fundamentals of Human Biology”
requirement to (1) include a Topics in Human Biology Course (AANT 416) to give us the flexibility of offering
multiple relevant courses that could satisfy that requirement (this course is repeatable if the content differs), and
(2) reduce the number of required classes in the list from two to one due to the addition of the eight-credit A&P
requirement described above.

e = The addition of courses that are common prerequisites for medical school and/or other health science programs
to the list of major electives, and a shift from 15 to 13 required credits from that list to reflect the adjustment of
other required credits describe above.

We have started converting courses that used to be offered as the upper-division class Topics in Human Biology (AANT
416) into courses with their own upper-division course number. We are adding those courses that have already
been approved and other relevant upper-division anthropology courses to the list of classes that satisfy the
Fundamentals in Human Biology requirement (in some cases we are providing syllabi with the new course numbers
even though they have previously only been offered as AANT 416). Note that the content of all of these courses that
were previously taught under the AANT 416 course designation has already been counting towards the
Fundamentals in Human Biology requirement since AANT 416 was a class that could be taken to meet it.

Finally, we are changing the wording relating to our list of major electives. All Human Biology majors were required to
take 11 upper division credits in the major (AANT 316 [4 credits], AANT 318 [4 credits], and one course from a list
of classes that were all upper division 3-credit courses). In addition, they needed to take at least 13 credits from a
list of major electives; most, but not all, of the courses on that list are upper-division. We are changing wording
fiom “Major Electives (13 cr. minimum)” to “Major Electives (13 upper division (300+) cr. Minimum)”.

as a new platform.

[Part A.1. Organizational Commitment

a) Describe your institution’ s planning process for Distance Education, including how the need for distance access
‘was identified, the nature and size of the intended audiences, and the provisions for serving those audiences,
including how each student’ s identity will be verified.

b) Describe your institution’ s resources for distance leaming programs and its student and technical support services
to ensure their effectiveness. What course management system does your institution use?

20f5
c) Describe how the institution trains faculty and supports them in developing and teaching online courses, including
the pedagogical and communication strategies to function effectively. Describe the qualifications of those who
train and/or assist faculty, or are otherwise responsible for online education.

d) If yourinstitution uses courses or academic support services from another provider, describe the process used.
(with faculty participation) to evaluate their quality, academic rigor, and suitability for the award of college credit
and a degree or certificate.

e) Does your institution have a clear policy on ownership of course materials developed for its distance education
courses? How is this policy shared with faculty and staff? NOTE: You may refer to SUNY’s statement on
Copyright and faculty ownership of instructional content, and/or faculty contract provisions.

[Part A.2. Learner Support

a) Describe how your institution provides distance students with dear infonmation on:

Program completion requirements

The nature of the leaming experience

Any specific student background, knowledge, or technical skills needed

Expectations of student participation and leaming

The nature of interactions among faculty and students in the courses.

Any technical equipment or software required or recommended.

b) Describe how your institution provides distance leamers with adequate academic and administrative support,
including academic advisement, technical support, library and information services, and other student support
services normally available on campus. Do program materials clearly define how students can access these
support services?

c) Describe how administrative processes such as admissions and registration are made available to distance
students, and how program materials inform students how to access these services.

d) What orientation opportunities and resources are available for students of distance leaming?

Part B: Program-Specific Issues: Submit Part B for each new request to add Distance Education Format to a proposed
or registered program.

[ Part B.1. Learning Design

a) Howdoes your institution ensure that the same academic standards and requirements are applied to the program
on campus and through distance leaming? If the curriculum in the Distance Education program differs from that
of the on-ground program, please identify the differences.

The curriculum for the Distance Education programis the same as the campus-based version. The courses have
the same template/syllabi, instructors, and requirements. Students may take participate either on campus or via
an online format.

b) Are the courses that make up the distance leaming program offered in a sequence or configuration that allows
timely completion of requirements?
Courses will be offered on a regular basis, with each student assigned a professional advisor who works with
students to make sure courses they need are available, advising which semester to take a particular course. All
30f5
courses are available at on a rotating basis based on cohort start date and completion requirement timeline
needs.

c) Howdo faculty and others ensure that the technological tools used in the program are appropriate for the content
and intended leaming outcomes?

The faculty use the standard platform Blackboard provided by the university. This platformis updated regularly
and enables video, student discussion and collaboration, weblinks, and many other resources.

d) Howdoes the program provide for appropriate and flexible interaction between faculty and students, and among
students?

Couse instructor organizes the course format online. Faculty and programs are also supported in using a variety
of technologies and pedagogical approaches to support the effectiveness of their online courses and programs.
Blackboard has discussion boards to assist student engagement with each other. Zoomis able to be utilized for
one on one student and or faculty conversations, as well as larger group work.

e) Howdao faculty teaching online courses verify that the student who registers in a distance education course or
program is the same student who participates in and completes the course or program and receives the academic
credit?

The University at Albany utilizes two layers of authorization and authentication for students who participate in
online learning. Students are required to establish an account and to log in to the University password protected
domain using the NETID protocol and must also log into the BLS Learning Management System using their
university credentials. Blackboard also uses Safe Assign as a tool to monitor the completion of certain tasks
within the LMS environment.

[Part B.2. Outcomes and Assessment

a) Distance leaming programs are expected to produce the same leaming outoomes as comparable classroom-based.
programs. How are these leaming outcomes identified - in terms of knowledge, skills, or credentials - in course
and program materials?

Each course has a syllabus with course goals, content focus, readings, and assignments. Course instructors and
program faculty discuss and revise the course syllabi, and student learning outcomes for both the on-campus and.
online formats based on regular program assessments and evidence of student learning.

b) Describe how the means chosen for assessing student leaming in this program are appropriate to the content,
leaming design, technologies, and characteristics of the leamers.

All the courses have assessments aligned to our student learning outcomes. The assessments are specific to the
course goals and may involve, discussion, essay response, exams, written reflection, analysis of teaching
strategies, critique of available resources, publications etc. The assessments require integration, application, and
analysis of course content.

[Part B.3. Program Evaluation

a) What process is in place to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of this particular distance education program
ona regular basis?
Whether a course is face-to-face or online there are similar methods to evaluate program effectiveness: a yearly review of
student learning outcomes. The periodic assessment and length of assessment cycle is the same for the currently

registered programand the distance education program.
40f5
b) Howwill the evaluation results will be used for continuous program improvement?
Evaluation results are used to make changes and modify the curriculum

c) Howwill the evaluation process assure that the program results in leaning outcomes appropriate to the rigor
and breadth of the college degree or certificate awarded?
The program evaluation is the same for students taking online or campus-based courses. The courses must meet university
requirements for rigor and breadth of coursework approved for the major in Human Biology.

[Part B.4. Students Residing Outside New York State

SUNY programs must comply with all “authorization to operate" regulations that are in place in other U.S. states where
the institution has enrolled students or is otherwise active, based on each state’ s definitions.

a) What processes are in place to monitor the U.S. state of residency of students enrolled in any distance education
course in this program while residing in their home state?
Distance learning students will be flagged in our integrated administrative system This will allowregular
querying so that we can identify any out of state students who participate from their home state. The University
isa member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA). This is a
voluntary agreement among member states and U.S. territories that establishes comparable national standards
for interstate offering of postsecondary distance-education courses and programs. As a member institution, the
University is approved to offer distance education courses to students outside of New York.

b) Federal regulations require institutions delivering courses by distance education to provide students or prospective
students with contact information for filing complaints with the state approval or licensing entity in the student’ s
state of residency and any other relevant state official or agency that would appropriately handle a student's
complaint. What is the URL on your institution’ s website where contact information for filing complaints for
students in this program is posted?
