Web 2.0 Tools and Distributed Learning Models
Delivery Models Sloan-C, 2007 The Models Proportion of Content Delivered Online Type of Course Typical Description 0%  Traditional Course with no online technology used — content is delivered in writing or orally. 1 to 29%  Web Enhanced Course which uses web-based technology to facilitate what is essentially a face-to-face course. Uses a course management system (CMS) or web pages to post the syllabus and assignments, for example. 30 to 79% Blended/Hybrid Distributed Engagement Course that blends online and face-to-face delivery. Substantial proportion of the content is delivered online, typically uses online discussions, and typically has some face-to-face meetings. 80% + Online A course where most or all of the content is delivered online. Typically have no face-to-face meetings.
Buffet Model Allows the learner to complete instructional sequences at their own pace Various learning environments  Various supports On-campus and distributed environments Allows students to progress through material in the way and speed that is most appropriate for them Example:  Foothill College, Math My Way
Blended/Hybrid (Replacement) Blended learning courses combine online and classroom learning activities and resources in an optimal way to improve student learning outcomes and to address important institutional issues Classroom attendance (“seat time”) is reduced Example:  Estrella Mountain Community College, Learning College
100% Online All course activities, resources, interactions, and communications occur online, typically through an institutional learning/course management system Example:  Rio Salado College Online

WEB 2.0 AND INSTITUTIONAL ISSUES/CONSIDERATIONS
Quality Assurance and Web 2.0
Peer Course Review Feedback Course Instructional Designers Institutions Faculty Course Developers National Standards & Research Literature Rubric Faculty Reviewers Training Quality Matters  Course Peer Review Process Course Meets Quality Expectations Course Revision
QM Certified Peer Reviewers Peer Reviewers receive full-day training to learn How to interpret the standards (with examples and annotations) How to evaluate a course (hands-on with sample course) Reviews are conducted by teams of three peer reviewers Chair  Peer reviewer (external) Peer reviewer (SME)
More about Quality Matters Quality Matters (QM) is a faculty-centered, peer review process designed to certify the quality of  online and hybrid courses  and online components A faculty-driven, collaborative peer review process Committed to continuous quality improvement Based in national standards of best practice, the research literature and instructional design principles Designed to promote student learning and success
The Rubric is the  Core of Quality Matters 40 specific elements across 8 broad areas (general standards) of course quality  Detailed annotations and examples of good practice for all 40 standards
Quality Matters & Alignment
Essential Standards that  Relate to Alignment A statement introduces the student to the course and learning  Navigational instructions Learning activities foster interaction: Instructor-student Content-student Student-student Clear standards are set for instructor response and availability  Assessment strategies provide feedback Grading policy is transparent and easy to understand Implemented tools and media support learning objectives and integrate with texts and lesson assignments The course acknowledges the importance of ADA compliance
Other QM Uses College quality assurance review processes Guidelines for online/hybrid  course development Faculty development/training programs Checklist for improvement of existing online courses An element in regional and professional accreditation
Intellectual Property & Web 2.0 How broad or inclusive? What tools or learning environments should be addressed?  How is maintenance of instructional products and systems addressed?  Employees or units involved in the production process, work time/course of employment issues, resources expended, or units involved?  Innovation within or outside established, controlled university-owned systems?
Copyright  Connection to models Open tools YouTube Wikis  Faculty perceptions of copyright and fair use  Liability issues  Student education Best practices
Three Questions Describe existing instructional delivery and development models for integrating technology into instruction. What are your teaching and learning goals for Web 2.0 tools? What are the support issues that will need to be addressed to achieve your Web 2.0 goals?
