Finally, it provides funding history and future directions for podcasting at the university.
Nurturing Insight to Assessing Online Teaching
Texas Christian University developed standards and procedures for online courses, including requiring an online student evaluation. They created an Online Self Assessment Tool (OSAT) using a rubric to help faculty systematically review and improve their online course design. The OSAT was piloted in 2007 and is now fully online. It is used along with the Program Intelligence Manager (PIM) tool to analyze course completion rates and identify areas for improvement. Faculty are expected to meet standards of 2.0 or higher on the OSAT and 87% retention rates. Development plans are created for those who do not meet standards.
Faculty Time
This document summarizes the results of a survey about myths and misconceptions regarding the time required to develop and teach online courses compared to face-to-face courses. The survey found that developing an online course for the first time takes more time than a face-to-face course, but that the time difference decreases with subsequent online course offerings as instructors gain experience. While certain aspects like content development take more time for online courses initially, the time required to work through both the technological and pedagogical learning curves for online teaching is relatively short. More data is needed to further analyze factors affecting time requirements.
Distance Learning and The Military
The document discusses quality assurance challenges for online learning programs serving military students. It outlines several approaches to quality assurance from accrediting organizations and initiatives from the Department of Defense (DoD) and American Council on Education (ACE) to ensure protections for military students pursuing online degrees. The DoD initiative aims to align with higher education efforts and could impact military-serving universities by requiring certification that online programs meet DoD principles of good practice.
Design of an Assistive Technology Online Class
The document summarizes the creation of an online class to train students and lab assistants on assistive technology. Previous training methods like one-on-one sessions were time-consuming. The new class was created in WebCT Vista using video tutorials to demonstrate software like screen readers despite technical challenges. It has a pre-/post-test structure and covers topics like screen enlargement, voice recognition, and mobility impairments. Future plans include updating content and addressing issues like software updates.
Academic Support and Technology
Kaplan University is a for-profit institution with online and campus-based programs serving over 35,000 students across the US and abroad. The goals of Kaplan's academic support efforts are to improve student success, retention, and graduation rates, which are measured using metrics like course pass rates and term-to-term retention. Current projects include administering the Wonderlic SLE exam for placement and using math and writing assessments to identify remediation needs, with pilots testing tutoring and coaching. Lessons learned focus on designing effective experiments, balancing implementation costs with returns, defining and measuring success, and ensuring scalability beyond pilot programs.
!Keeping the university open even if the doors
This document discusses strategies for keeping a university open and continuing academic activities even during threats that could force campus closure, such as weather emergencies, pandemics, or terrorism. It recommends developing academic and IT emergency plans, building resilience through online learning and course repositories, establishing policies for tuition/fees and credit transfer, and partnering with other institutions for student and faculty support. Regional and national organizations could help by providing backup infrastructure and housing emergency plans and strategies.
