to be taught by a faculty member for the first time in the Spring 07 or
Winter-Mini 07 term(s) . These shells were created from a blank, 15-week
template given that the faculty member has not taught the course(s) in eCollege
in a previous semester. If you are scheduled to teach one of these courses, you
should see your new course(s) when you login to eCollege. You may begin
developing the course(s) for the upcoming term at any time.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
