If you're faculty, you've come to the right place.

Request for A-V Equipment from the Media Center
If you need equipment for your classroom on the Greenwood campus, you may use this form to request it from the Media Center. Please request at least 24 hours in advance. Equipment will be delivered if requested on time and picked up. Call 8444 if you have questions.

Teleclass Faculty Information Form

This form provides the DL Support Staff with information on where to deliver materials from DL classrooms when it is returned from students (faculty mail receipt location), where (which center) faculty plan to teach predominately during the term, and how students may contact them. It should be completed and submitted by faculty prior to the start of each term they teach via any PEN classroom. When the form is completed and submitted, an email will be generated to the Distance Learning Coordinator.

Teleclass Faculty Event Form
This form provides the DL Support Staff with information about special events that need staffing support at the distance sites, i.e., a test date where proctoring is required, an activity where papers need to be collected, a time the class will not meet in the distance rooms, or other special events where assistance is needed. When the form is completed and submitted, an email will be generated to the Distance Learning Coordinator.

Teleclass Test Routing Form
This form is used to attach to the top of quizzes and exams to let the monitor or center coordinator know when and how the test is to be administered at the distance site. All quizzes and exams should have this form attached prior to sending them via the campus mail system. Also, all tests sent to the testing center for make-up testing or Internet class testing must have this form attached. Print out this form on your local printer, fill it out, and attach the paper copy to your tests. 

Creating and Combining WebCT Support Courses
Access at: https://itsrv.ptc.edu/crosslist/form.php
This process has been updated. Please see your divisional administrative assistant for help if you are uncertain about this process. Be sure your name is entered into Banner for each section you wish to combine or wait until is has been added. You must edit only the master section. Edited sections cannot be combined as "Child Courses" under master courses. If you have mistakenly edited a section you wish combined with a master course section, send us a trouble ticket. Do not attempt to combine them using this program. These requests do not take effect right away. Give is 24 to48 hours to run the batch processes. Updates to sections in Banner will also be updated every day from the start to the close of cross-listing. IST staff will automatically combine all TechOnline "T" sections. Do edit any T sections or combine them using this program. If you need to combine courses with different course numbers, use the trouble ticket system. You cannot use this program for this special unique procedure.

Online Course Approval Form
This form is used to request an online course. This is the first step in seeking approval to create an Internet course, see Procedures for creating an online course.

Online Course Development Shell Form
This form is used to request an online course "shell" on WebCT for the purpose of developing a new online or hybrid course. This course shell will be placed in the "development" term on WebCT and can be used to "roll over" into any of the course shells created by the WebCT/SCT Integrator each active term once the development process is well underway and the course is approved for publication. Active online courses and Web-Enhanced courses do not require custom shells. They are automatically created. You must "edit" each course section in PTC Pathway to indicate you are using WebCT to support your course section. Every section (combined or not) must be opened to WebCT or the students will not be able to access the WebCT content.

WebCT Welcome Page Information
This page is created by IST staff from the information you provide with this form.  The Welcome Page provides students with the information they need to make a decision about taking your course. Welcome Pages have textbook, testing, course description, and other information about the course and information about the instructor with contact info for email and phone numbers that provide students a way to seek additional information prior to enrolling in the the course.

Online Student Handout
This single sheet provides the new online student the URL to the Web site for all the information they need to get started with their online courses. This is all the new online student needs to find their required information.

Online Student Advisement Sheet
This form will assist you during the advisement process for online students.  The successful Piedmont Technical College online student must be computer literate on a basic level, have access to the appropriate computer hardware and software, and be a self-directed and self-motivated learner. It is also important that students understand that (on the average) online courses require from 6-12 hours a week.  Please see form for further details.

Incomplete Grade Form
This form is used in the rare case where a student has not completed one or two required elements of a course by the end of the term and the instructor and student agree to complete and grade the work shortly after the incomplete "I" grade is submitted. This form records the activities missing and their percentage weight for the total course grade and provides a grade at the time the term ended without the completed work recorded. This form also informs the student of the date an "I" grade automatically reverts to an "F" grade if not revised by the instructor.
