With short notice, the team designed and implemented the hybrid modality program for all staff positions to support the fall 2021 return to on-campus operations. This entailed revising university policies, working collaboratively with departments to assign each position to an appropriate modality, and training managers throughout the organization, all in a few weeks.

Their efforts have provided increased flexibility for staff and changed the way AU works now and in the future.

In consultation with the COVID-19 response team, Cole developed a dynamic form that allows event schedulers to generate a unique per-event visitor vaccine attestation that feeds into a single database.

This facilitates reports and lookup capabilities that event schedulers can refer to for future events and significantly reduces the workload for event schedulers and the covid-19 response team when hosting events with guest participants.

The Eagle Online Excellence initiative recognizes the importance of course design as a critical component of teaching excellence. The team supports AU faculty members in their online course development by providing tools, resources, expert guidance, and individualized feedback.

In 2022, the team moved to the Quality Matters rubric, a national benchmark. They also created micro-course learnings to accommodate faculty schedules. The efforts of the Eagle Online Excellence team ensure that AU online programs are offered with the highest quality based on national standards and are effective online learning experiences for all students.
