Print Courses a) Print courses may have a web presence which may require limited OLFM involvement and may require the use of computer technology as part of the course design. This may include the use of email discussion groups, electronic media, Learning Management System (such as Blackboard), e-learning tools (e.g. white boards), power point slides, conferencing, etc. OLFMs are not required to provide additional course content but rather to explain and assist students with existing course content using their personal and professional knowledge. This may include providing supplementary resources such as references or web sites. Additional duties due to the use of electronic technology, except those compensated for by the Technology Fee, must be compensated by reductions in other areas of course workload to ensure that the overall workload will remain the same.
