Open Education, MOOCS, & Student Access
This webinar discussed open education, MOOCs, and student access in California community colleges. It covered Senate bills 1052 and 1053 which establish an open education resources library and council. Speakers discussed increasing student success and access through open educational resources, MOOCs, and competency-based learning. Concerns were raised about ensuring equal access to technology and success in online courses. MOOCs were viewed as a potential way to increase access if they increase student success rates. Developing high-quality, community college MOOOs was suggested as a way to capture effective teaching practices and make materials widely available.

- 30. OER: Adoption Concerns • Facultyawareness of OER is low • Difficulty of finding materials • Standards for quality vary • Lack of ancillaries
- 31. Exploring MOOCs • Massive:> 1000 students • Online: videos lectures, automated quizzes, discussions • Open: open enrollment but NOT OER • Course: learning experience
- 32. MOOC Concerns • Poorinstruction quality • Low Completion rates: 5-15% is typical • Learner support is minimal • Assessment for credit: costs $; in early stages • Sustainability is unknown
- 33. Community College MOOCs fornon-credit?? • Thousands of students taking basic skills & pre-transfer level English, reading, writing, ESL and mathematics courses • Huge subset of above population, at one time, had learned the content using taxpayer $$ • Many just need to review before taking an assessment test for placement
- 34. What if … •community college faculty develop and teach pre-transfer level MOOCs • a large subset of the “huge subset” take MOOCs to review content? • a VERY small subset of the “large subset of the huge subset” complete 1 MOOC and place into 1 higher level course in just 1discipline?
- 35. Need to Review Take MOOC Pass MOOC Population- pre-transfer level placement students
- 36. Very small subsetof the large subset of the huge subset… • will save at least one semester to degree completion • will save taxpayers $$ • may be encouraged to take more ownership in their education • may take more than 1 MOOC and multiply their time savings and taxpayer savings
- 37. In other words… • if 100,000 students take at least 1 MOOC • if just 6% of MOOC folks complete their course • if this 6% of MOOC folks place into 1 course higher • then, 94% of MOOC students are FAILURES!!!

- 44. ADDRESSING “ACCESS” ISSUES Increase success Online retention and success lags behind that of onsite Increase online success >>> Increase access Increase access to existing courses – online and onsite Students want access to courses, not pathways to unit accumulation
- 45. ONLINE AS THEACCESS ANSWER? Presumes equal access to technology Presumes equal success Differential outcomes exacerbated in the online environment Online investment needs to focus on quality as a means of increasing success
- 46. MOOCS AND THECCC Currently: A pathway to credit for MOOCs exists: “Credit by exam” “Traditional” MOOCs are not a replacement for credit-bearing courses MOOOs Massive Open Online Offerings “Courses” result in a transcripted outcome, qualify for financial aid, and are taught by qualified faculty
- 47. COURSES IN THECCCS Require “regular effective contact” Regulatory requirement (Title 5) Not “correspondence courses” Necessary to qualify for financial aid Able to document last date of attendance
- 48. MOOOS AND THECCCS Replacement No. Offer an alternative Pre-assessment Possible supplement A means to increase “access”? Perhaps – increase success >>> increase access Perhaps – high-quality content and auto-graded assessments make a SLIGHTLY larger class
