Administrative Regulation Instructional
Materials Fees and Services A. Basic Objectives 1. Research
and experience have shown repeatedly that the effective use of appropriate
instructional materials and educational media is a highly successful means of
providing rich and meaningful classroom learning experiences. While these materials and media may have some
intrinsic value, the key to their actual value is contained in the phrase,
"effective integrated use." 2. To
achieve maximum learning efficiency in the classroom use of instructional
materials, it is believed that: a. All materials should be selected on the
basis of class-instructor purposes, needs, and interests. b. The use of instructional materials
should be planned in advance. c. Instructional materials should be
selected by the instructor for the best presentation of concepts involved. d. Instructional materials should be
introduced to the class by of purpose, by of difficult concepts or vocabulary,
and by establishing things to look for and questions to be answered. e. Instructional materials should be used
under the best possible classroom conditions. f. The presentation of instructional materials should be followed by some planned follow-up activity designed
to evaluate learning outcomes. B. Instructional Materials Fee A student may be required to have
instructional materials for completion of required course work, provided
that such materials are of continuing value to a student and provided that such
materials are not solely or exclusively available from the district. Permission to require students to have instructional
materials must be granted by the Executive Vice President. Departments must develop a course-by-course
list of materials. Materials must be identified in such a manner that students
have the opportunity to obtain the materials from sources outside the college. The College Bookstore may sell vouchers for such
instructional materials at a price equal to actual cost, plus mark-up, plus taxes.
Each department will be responsible for ordering, receiving, stocking,
and issuing materials. Instructional
supply budgets will be credited with funds received by the College Bookstore
from the sale of vouchers. C. Functional Services 1. Book
Library Instructional departments are responsible for receiving,
processing, and controlling the
inventory of their book libraries. 2. Instructional
Materials Programs and projects centered around specific instructional
materials and educational media are planned cooperatively by the instructor and
the appropriate College personnel. Revised: 6/8/93 |
