Online Teaching and Learning Committee (OTLC)

The Online Teaching and Learning Committee (OTLC), along with the Distance Education
Coordinator, will work to align their efforts with the Title 5 code for online education and with
Cuyamaca’s mission, vision, and values in order to support faculty, classified professionals,
administrators, and students both with online teaching and learning and with the use of our
Learning Management System in face-to-face courses.

course evaluation requirements, online course ADA compliance requirements, and other
