ENSURING QUALITY AND DETERMINING EFFECTIVENESS, ELI Focus SessionTanya Joosten
As many institutions have invested in faculty development programming and understand that it is pivotal to the success of innovation in course designs and academic programming, there is a need to ensure that the products resulting from these efforts are meeting institutional standards of quality for student learning and other outcomes. We have seen an array of mediated forms of learning (hybrid, blended, flipped, online, self-paced, competency-based, MOOCs, and more) being diffused across campuses and systems, and many of us have been asked to provide evidence of the effectiveness of our faculty development programming to ensure the quality of classes and programs. Administrators are looking for an ROI in faculty development as we are seeing decreases in funding, enrollments, and budgets. This presentation will share an approach to ensuring quality and evaluating the effectiveness of faculty development, including the sharing of resources.
Outcomes: Learn about a life cycle of ensuring quality in faculty development * Identify steps in a backward-design approach to evaluating the effectiveness of faculty development * Share potential resources to use in future efforts

Designing Exemplary Online Courses in BlackboardJason Rhode
During this presentation by Jason Rhode at the 12th annual SLATE Conference on 10/23/14, we explored suggested best practices included in the Blackboard Exemplary Course Program Rubric for designing engaging online courses. Jason shared practical tips from his experience building a course in Blackboard that meets the established ECP quality benchmarks. We also covered the steps and associated deadlines for faculty interested in submitting their course for consideration as a Blackboard Exemplary Course. This session was geared toward an audience already familiar with the basic online teaching tools available in Blackboard Learn. While the examples shared were specifically of courses in Blackboard, the principles can be applied to developing quality online courses in any learning management system.

Scaling the Uptake of Agricultural Innovation and the Role of Sustainable Ext...Andrea Bohn
Presentation given by Dr. Brent Simpson, Michigan State University, and deputy director of the MEAS project, during the Agricultural Sector Council webinar on November 20, 2013. The topic focuses on the adoption (individual level) and uptake (aggregate level) of innovation - common patterns, human behavior, and the implications for agricultural extension and advisory services.
Small Farm Resource Centers: Antiquated or Adaptable?Andrea Bohn
The Small Farm Resource Center (SFRC) is a research-extension tool that coordinates trials at a central site, as well on the fields of individual farmers, with the purpose of evaluating, within the community, ideas that have been proven elsewhere. Any new ideas, techniques, crops, or new varieties of a local crop may first be evaluated at the SFRC and promising ideas extended to local farmers with little risk. This adaptive research is done directly by the non-governmental agency (typically missions
organizations and other small institutions) and local farmers and extended to the community.

Planning for Scalable Operations and Costs of E-Learning
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. Objectives
• Understand Community of Inquiry and how
interrelated learning occurs
• Learn various strategies currently used online
• Discuss which make the most sense
5. Teaching Presence
• planning and design of the course structure,
instructional process, interaction, and evaluation
aspects of the online course.
• presenting material or asking questions that help
students learn content, focusing the discussion on
specific issues, then providing feedback, diagnosing
misconceptions, and providing resources from a
variety of sources.
• Facilitated discourse described as student
engagement in interacting and building meaning
through online discourse.
6. Teaching Presence
• Facilitated discourse described as student
engagement in interacting and building meaning
through online discourse.
7. Social Presence
• Two primary constructs :intimacy and immediacy
• Intimacy involves physical factors like physical
distance, eye contact, vocal expressions, and facial
expressions like smiling.
• Immediacy is the psychological distance between
communicators. Immediacy can be displayed both
verbally and non-verbally
8. Cognitive Presence
• Needs Teaching and Social Presence to be effective
• Practical Inquiry Model
• A triggering event, exploration, integration and
resolution.
9. Teaching Strategies
• Lecture
• Discussion
• Learning Contracts
• Forum
• Small Group Work
• Project
10. Teaching Strategies
• Case Study
• Self-Directed Learning
• Collaborative Learning
• Mentorship
• Role Play
• Assessment
11. Lecture
• Most widely used instructional strategy
• Effective at transferring information
• Ineffective for making students active learners
• Online—lecture can be very good for language
issues, setting the stage for discussion, required
before attending course
• Requires more preparation online
12. Discussion
• For asynchronous learning a highly interactive format
• Discussion online can include everyone
• Can be required as part of a grade
• Does require creating authentic and engaging
learning questions
• Almost all course management systems include
discussion boards
13. Learning Contracts
• Allows student to suggest and set a contract on what
they will learn given course objectives
• Works well for independent learning and project
based outcomes
• Works well for teaching students about contracts and
work expectations
14. Forum
• Allows students to become teacher/experts
• Run forums or symposium online
• Typically a group of students work together to
present a topic
• They then moderate through a discussion questions
on the topic with other students
15. Small Group Work
• Variations of discussion tools
• Assign students to work on topics
• As a team they must prepare answers, investigate
problems, arrive at solutions
• Have team present findings to others
16. Project
• A project tends to be a long-term like assigning a
paper
• It can be active or a paper
• But online the value is to make the information
found sharable
• Allows instructors to find issues before the paper is
turned in for a grade
• Could be work for a company as well
17. Case Study
• Allows a students to apply course topics to a case
(problem, company, industry, etc.)
• Each week students provide more information on
what they have found
• These can be published and help students show skills
18. Self-directed Learning
• Similar to learning contracts in some ways
• Student determines goals like internships or active
review of processes used in a course
• Could also be self-taught
• Often used in corporate settings
• Requires significant preparation from instructor
19. Collaborative Learning
• Whole group learning again using discussion
• Could also use collaborative tools like wikis where
students build a chapter or book
• Again can be displayed and published
20. Mentorship
• Creates a sense of responsibility
• Peer reviewing is a likely example
• Requires student to actively coach and grade another
student
• Often used in writing assignments
21. Role Play
• Assign roles for a project
• Often done in smaller groups
• It can be a corporation, a community based
organization, or coop
• Faculty assigns roles but students act out the roles
providing documentation
22. Assessment
• Most online tools allow for testing
• Testing can be very useful for practice, knowledge
check and grades
• Often books come with test questions
• Testing engines allow for many formats
24. Summary
• Learned importance of teaching, social and cognitive
presence
• Learned online strategies for teaching effectively
• Discussed applying them to your course (s)
