The original Baseline was developed after wide consultation on best UCL practice and was endorsed by Academic Committee in September 2011. The Baseline is reviewed annually and the 2016 version is a product of merging the UCL Moodle Baseline with the Student Minimum Entitlement to On-Line Support from the Institute of Education.
The E-Learning Baseline covers two levels of e-learning use:
- Baseline (for campus-based courses 1).
- Baseline+ (in addition to the Baseline, for wholly online courses).
For each of the ten categories there is a description of what is needed to meet the requirements for both levels.
Session Description: Continuing Education departments can be the "front line" for new program development. CE provides strengths that are required for success: responsiveness; leveraging of resources; and sustainability.

Getting Started with Online Credit Recovery: Featuring North Carolina Virtual...Blackboard
Many districts are turning to online credit recovery to combat the challenge of lowering dropout rates while meeting the needs of 21st century learners. Often called the "silent epidemic" in our nation's high schools, the negative consequences of dropping out do not stop with low graduation rates but also pose challenges to our nation's economic and social well being.
Join North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS) as they discuss how they created and implemented an online credit recovery program. Already equipped with classic online courses for AP and first time credit, NCVPS decided to offer a credit recovery option as well.
Michelle Lourcey, Curriculum and Instruction Division Director, Credit Recovery and Modular Learning, NCVPS and Jeff Page, Credit Recovery Specialist, NCVPS will describe how they got started creating their 10 courses, complete with content aligned to state standards, and describe their mastery model. They will also share how the program allows students to move at their own pace and provides flexible learning opportunities.
We'll also explore how Blackboard is providing the foundation for this statewide online credit recovery program and review the tools and features NCVPS is using within the Blackboard platform including Adaptive Release.
This is the powerpoint presentation of the Graduation Project at UW Oshkosh presented by Katherine Chase and Ruth Freiburger at the recent CAEL conference in Philadelphia. The project is a great approach to helping working adults who didn't finish a college degree to come back to school and finish.

Making the Rules for Higher Education MaterialsWCET
The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) addresses a number of issues of interest to WCET members, including definitions of distance education and correspondence, student achievement, transfer of credit, student authentication, and growth monitoring. The presenters were all members of the Negotiated Rulemaking Team charged with determining the rules that will be used by the U.S. Department of Education to implement the provisions of the act. They will report on the process, outcomes, and implications for higher education and distance learning.
The focus of assessment has permeated our lives and, in that, we have been on a mission to collect data to demonstrate students are learning. So now what? Was the data collected as useful as you thought it would be? Did you or your faculty change their courses, programs, or teaching strategies based on the data? Join us to discuss if what we collect is chaos or making a difference. Presenters: Gil Linne, Dean, College of Social Sciences, University of Phoenix (AZ), and Beth Patton, Associate Dean, College of Natural Sciences, University of Phoenix (AZ).

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Making your unit indispensabe in a bare-bones economy -- Janet Ross Kendall
1. Making Your Unit Indispensible in a Bare-Bones EconomyWCET 2009 Russ Adkins, Broward Community College, FL Fred Hurst, Northern Arizona University Janet Ross Kendall, Washington State University
2. Washington State University Distance Degree Programs Janet Ross Kendall Director, Distance Degree Programs WCET 2009
3.
4. Distance Degree Programs Mostly undergrad: BA Social Sciences, BA Humanities, BA Human Development, BA Criminal Justice, BA Business with 5 majors. Grad programs being developed: MBA, grad certificates Delivered by a variety of asynchronous educational technologies (e.g., Internet, streaming media)
5.
6. DDP Student Profile Average age: 36 years 75% women 80% work full or part-time Over 90% study part -time -- 2+ courses per semester 55% receive financial aid 90% in Washington Most have families (kids, parents)
7. Advantages of DDP for WSU Online programs increase FTE to WSU; programs are state-funded. FTE is counted in Pullman figures – FTE contributed by DDP 08-09 was 3,236 (~ 17,000 enrollments Enrollments contribute to diversity figures Programs bring in extra tuition dollars. Programs provide strong statewide presence for WSU
8. Organization: Then In 1992 there was much skepticism about an asynchronous distance degree, but we built on the growing satisfaction with the synchronous two-way interactive system We began with 57 students and 3 video-based courses and faculty who were willing to try something new All WSU policies were identical for students Our office coordinated all nonacademic aspects of distance delivery, and worked closely with deans and department chairs for all academic aspects
9. Organization: Then We’ve had an Advisory Board made up of chairs and Assoc. Deans from participating departments and colleges since the beginning Until this year all programs but one were done on overload We have encouraged departments to take ownership: choose instructors, set caps, enter information into mainframe, etc.
10. Organization: Now New provost and statewide budget cuts have resulted in new scrutiny, especially about our organizational structure Purposes of scrutiny: Figure out ways to return more money to the colleges Obtain buy-in from deans, raise visibility
11.
12. Current Funding WSU funding to colleges for DDP students is passed on to departments $2790/AAFTE (30 cr.) undergrad $4552/AAFTE (20 cr.) grad Departments receive various amounts depending on policy of colleges CLA has put majority of instruction on load for 09-10; this is resulting in some “blended courses” which will impact use of LMS’s in on-campus courses Many departments are using senior faculty/TA model
13. New Programs and enrollment incentives being developed In this budget era, funding passed on to departments developing online programs is generating results, especially at the graduate level: OMBA, Bioethics grad certificate, PSM, Prof Master Electrical Eng. CLA enrollment model will give bonus funds to departments that increase seats in online courses
14. Reserve Funds Before this year’s scrutiny we shared reserve funds with departments for specific projects. We’re proposing that such funds be distributed in collaboration the with Provost’s Office We’ll work with the Provost’s Office to receive RFPs for seed funds for colleges and departments for new programs
15. Results of Scrutiny WSU needs the FTE DDP brings to the institution Provost’s office, deans and chairs are satisfied with the responsibilities we have for online learning Provost’s office, deans and chairs recognize that “distance learning” technologies should be coordinated centrally – by our unit Deans do not believe the additional money they need for delivering online programs should come at DDP’s expense.
16. Results of Scrutiny Online program are becoming more integrated with on-campus programs part of load in CLA and CAHNRS colleges distribute funds to departments departments have more autonomy and buy-in Technology-mediated instruction will be coordinated centrally for greater effectiveness and efficiency.
