ACUE Roles

The Campus Lead is the person at Waubonsee that coordinates regular communication and day-to-day activities between ACUE and Waubonsee. This person publicizes the course and manages enrollment.

ACUE facilitators play a critical role in ensuring that course-takers successfully learn about, implement, and reflect on effective practices. As course-takers work to complete ACUE offerings, facilitators act as pedagogical guides, mentors, and motivates.

2. Oversees and responds to Course-takers’ posts in discussion forums
3. Posts announcements twice a week
4. Responds to or escalates Course-taker support requests

Courses include a full-time and adjunct faculty faculty facilitator that assists the ACUE-provided facilitator with course activities. Waubonsee facilitators support and encourage course takers during the duration of the course.

2. Manages course-takers to completion

ACUE readers are assigned to read and score course takers’ “Practice and Reflect” reflection assignments. They review work with the assignment rubric and score the reflection as either “Complete” (badge earned) or “Incomplete” (badge deferred, pending a resubmission and subsequent “Complete” score).

For the reflections, course takers have the option to either “Implement” or “Plan to Implement” and are encouraged to “Implement” if they are currently teaching a class.
