Jumping Into the Deep End: CCCS' Success At Moving CTE Courses to Blended Cou...cccscoetc
CCCS successfully moved many Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses to blended/hybrid formats. Originally only 15 of 122 relevant courses were hybrid, but a deadline of December 2013 required all 122 be hybrid. CCCS developed a plan with the following steps:
1) Analyze certificates and courses, identifying high-enrollment and certifiable courses for hybrid conversion.
2) Create a course development plan with benchmarks and incentives for colleges to share hybrid courses.
3) Work with faculty through onsite instructional designers to "chunk" content into online and hands-on activities, and assess quality.
4) Publish hybrid courses openly online to increase enrollment in certificate programs and meet industry demands within
Teaching and learning technology conference -msu blended learning finalcccschamp
This document discusses Metropolitan State University-Denver's efforts to convert engineering technology courses to blended formats to increase student access and fulfill a Department of Labor grant. Key steps included relationship building with faculty, selecting appropriate courses, researching blended learning models, developing course maps and modules, creating online content, and designing synchronous and asynchronous lab experiences. Several engineering technology courses were successfully converted to blended formats through this collaborative process.
This document discusses reporting requirements and data collection for the CHAMP program. It outlines what information should be reported, including fiscal and narrative reports to the Department of Labor on a quarterly and annual basis. It also discusses the different levels and types of data to be collected, including student, course, school, and consortium data. Specific student and course data elements are listed, such as student IDs, names, grades, and course details. The document provides guidance on the role of ensuring consistent course information and communication about any changes. It outlines a typical report structure with goals and metrics to analyze related to industry partnerships, technology, credit for prior learning, and further education opportunities.
The Colorado Virtual Studio System incorporates gated and monitored access to valued tools (production and post production equipment) in the creation of original student work. In order to access production equipment, students must present written work (outlines, then treatments, then screenplays) that serve as the blueprint to the final project (completed film). The student project leader assembles a team of specialists (actors, producers and/or directors, art directors, directors of photography, production managers, lighting and sound technicians, makeup, wardrobe, and set design trainees, logistical coordinators, production assistants, camera operators, location managers, etc.) required for successful project completion. However, within this system, project completion is not the mere lensing and editing of the proposed project. It is the delivery of the project to the consumer (audience) through a variety of venues. Consequently, the gated access to desired resources is contingent on market focus, just as it is in the real world.
This document summarizes the work of a task force charged with redesigning developmental education across Colorado community colleges. The task force included faculty from English, reading and math and reviewed policies and programs from other states. They recommended accelerating students through developmental sequences by reducing time, credits and courses. The redesign included creating math pathways and integrating reading and English. It also suggested tracking student outcomes in college-level courses. The goal was to implement the new approaches system-wide by Fall 2014.

Downsizing a MOOC: Targeted Learning Outside Higher Education's Traditional D...cccschamp
While everyone in the higher education field today agrees that there isnÍt a clear definition of
what a MOOC is, CCCS is attempting to build a better sMOOC (smaller massive open online
course) combining the elements of both, a cMOOC and xMOOC. CCCS found a way to
incorporate an emerging educational trend, leverage technology to reach hundreds of people
with the appropriate, quality pedagogy; and meet the needs of their 13 system and 2 nonsystem
institutions.
- Over 60% of Colorado Community College System students place into developmental math, while over 25% place into developmental English and 13% into developmental reading. Completion rates for students who start in developmental courses are significantly lower than for students who do not need remediation.
- The Developmental Education Taskforce has been charged with reviewing developmental education practices and making recommendations to improve student success, such as through assessment, online learning, modular course options, and mainstreaming developmental content.
- The taskforce is examining best practices and innovations like open-entry math labs, mainstreaming developmental content into gateway courses, accelerated and compressed courses, and contextualizing developmental material, in order to recommend implementation strategies across the college system.
This document outlines proposed changes to developmental math courses at a community college, including reducing credit hours and separating courses into quantitative literacy, STEM preparation, and lab components. It discusses the competencies and delivery methods for each proposed course. The document also notes that cut scores for placement exams will be set once new exams are created, and that the CIT team will develop sample curricula and materials to implement the new course structure.

MOOC's Targeted Learning Outside Higher Education's Traditional Models STEMTe...cccschamp
Brenda M. Perea presented on using MOOCs to deliver targeted learning outside of traditional higher education models. Four MOOCs were developed to improve access to education and increase certificate and degree completion rates. The MOOCs focused on technical math for industry, employability skills, prior learning assessment, and web accessibility. Challenges in designing the MOOCs included developing buy-in from faculty, determining completion requirements, and choosing a hosting platform. Participation rates varied between the MOOCs, with the employability skills MOOC having the highest completion rate.
This document summarizes the key issues around developmental education in Colorado community colleges. It notes that completion rates for developmental education courses are low, with attrition increasing with each level required. A task force was assembled to make recommendations on reforming the system to improve student success rates. Emerging recommendations include using multiple placement measures, compressing or mainstreaming English and math sequences, contextualizing curriculum, and providing increased student and faculty supports. The timeline calls for recommendations to be finalized in February 2013.
This document summarizes recommendations from a developmental education taskforce in Colorado. It outlines issues with the traditional multi-level developmental education pipeline, which sees high attrition rates the more levels a student needs to complete. The taskforce considered national models and recommends compressing developmental math and English sequences to reduce time and credits needed. Specific proposals include multiple math pathways based on major, integrated reading/English courses, and accelerated options to complete developmental requirements in one term. Implementation teams would develop new curricula and provide faculty training and support. Success would be measured by completion of college-level math and English courses.
Adventures in Designing a MOOC with OER--STEMTech Denver, CO Nov. 2014cccschamp
This presentation was part of a session on creating a Technical Math MOOC with open educational resources. In October 2013, Colorado Community College System was awarded a TAACCCT 3 grant for Advanced Manufacturing. Our Advanced Manufacturing Industry partners were actively engaged in helping our faculty tailor their courses and course content to industry needs. Yet, the industry partners still had some complaints: I would like to send my employees to your colleges for courses, certificates and training but you want them to take and pass a technical math course before they can complete a course or certificate; my employees or I can’t afford the time and money to have them pass through the “gate keeping course.” Attendees will hear on how the CCCS system created a viable solution, a free Technical Math MOOC that works for faculty, industry and our students.
The Widening Student Service Gap - Michael Zastudil, BlackboardBlackboard APAC
Technology is integral to the academic experience today. As the role of technology increases, demand for help desk resources and support increases as well. If resources are not growing to meet demand, student adoption and satisfaction can suffer. Blackboard’s IT Help Desk services make sure the technologies powering your campus accelerate learning rather than inhibit it. We can provide a unified and scalable solution that extends your IT support affordably, while offering personalized service that helps keep all of your users satisfied.
More than 500 institutions currently use Blackboard Help Desk as an extension of their helpdesk support to: Improve end user satisfaction and adoption; Focus limited staff on complex support issues; and Off-load routine inquiries to self-service technologies or Blackboard advisors.
Update for Financial Aid, Registrars June 2013cccscoetc
This document discusses developmental education redesign at PCC. It notes that students placing two levels below college courses have high attrition rates across five exit points. Redesign aims to address this structural problem. Examples show pass rates declining at each exit point, resulting in only 16% of students ultimately passing the college-level course. The document outlines areas for immediate campus decisions regarding math, English, student services and timing. It discusses course delivery models and student support strategies to evaluate in the redesign. Campuses will share their plans and how various offices will be involved. The goal is to improve student completion rates of 100-level college courses through the redesign.
Developmental Education Taskforce Update for regional meetings November 2012cccscoetc
The document summarizes recommendations from the CCCS Developmental Education Taskforce to redesign developmental education. Key points include:
1) Recommendations aim to reduce time, credits, and courses for students to complete developmental requirements and enter college-level courses, with most students completing requirements in one semester or less.
2) Proposed math pathways include compression models and multiple sequences aligned with students' majors/careers. English and reading recommendations integrate the subjects and include acceleration options like co-requisite support courses.
3) Additional recommendations address student support, faculty training, testing policies, and data-driven continuous improvement to help more developmental students successfully complete college-level coursework.
Improving 180 Blackboard Sites in 180 Days - Christian King & Sandra Thwaites...Blackboard APAC
At many universities, the Blackboard subject site is the primary interface for the student learning experience. If the site is poorly organised, students do not know how to navigate the learning experience, such as when to engage with what content. If assessment criteria are minimally indicated, the quality of submissions suffers. If no tools are used to foster interaction, the learning experience becomes isolating. Conversely, when Bb sites are effectively designed and maintained, the quality of the student learning experience tends to be high. The quality of Bb sites varies across universities and within programs of study. Students who experience a well-designed site in their first semesters come to expect this standard in subsequent semesters.
Bond University thereby undertook a whole-of-university strategic priority project to improve 180 Bb subject sites in 180 days. Associate Deans (Learning & Teaching) in each faculty selected the sites. The initial quality of the sites varied, with many assessed as initially high quality, meaning that improvement meant moving from strength to strength and focusing on elements such as increasing elements of technology enhanced learning. The co-facilitators of this presentation are the academic developers who worked one-on-one with each of the participating academics. Therefore, from their perspectives, the key takeaways for attending delegates will be:
- Identification of challenges and stumbling blocks, as well as success strategies
- Checklists and professional development materials
- Illustration of before and after improvements as exemplars
- Ideas for increasing elements of technology enhanced learning
- Templates for emails, announcements and other communications
The document discusses the DeL peer-mentoring scheme for 2021-2022. It provides background on the history of digital learning at the university from 2007-2021. It then outlines the goals of the Digitally Enhanced Learning (DeL) program which are to improve student experiences, engagement, and learning through the use of new technologies. Finally, it describes how DeL will be implemented during the Fall 2021 semester through the use of Professional Learning Communities where faculty will meet monthly to discuss lessons learned and best practices for incorporating digital learning tools.
This document analyzes course outcomes from the first year of a redesigned course program across multiple colleges. It finds that over 8,960 unique students enrolled in redesigned developmental education (DE) courses, exceeding the goal of 2,395 students. For energy courses, 269 unique students enrolled, approaching 13% of the goal. Student pass rates were generally high, with over 80% persisting in DE courses. Analysis of grades found most DE students received satisfactory grades, while a minority received unsatisfactory grades or withdrew from courses. Mean grades were also calculated and compared across different levels to analyze academic outcomes.

NROC Digital Badge Webinar Presentation june 2016cccscoetc
This document discusses Colorado's digital badging initiative to credential technical skills. It provides background on the fragmented traditional credentialing system and outlines attributes of a new, learning-based system using digital badges. Badges provide portable, transparent credentials for skills obtained in various learning environments. Colorado's initiative aims to issue badges in technical areas like math, machining, and engineering based on industry-defined competencies. The badges provide evidence of skills to help learners and employers. Challenges to digital badges becoming mainstream include lack of awareness, but many institutions and companies now issue or accept badges.
This document discusses the use of digital badges to recognize skills and competencies in the workforce. It notes that today's credentialing system is complex and difficult to understand for employers, individuals, and educators. Digital badges can provide a learning-based alternative that is learner-centered, competency-based, and industry-driven. The Colorado Community College System is piloting the use of digital badges in several technical areas like math, machining, and engineering graphics. Badges can help provide transparent, portable credentials that map to specific skills and allow learners to showcase competencies across different programs and throughout their careers.
CCCS and CSU Digital Badge presentation at Aurora Badge Summit June 2016cccscoetc
Colorado State University Online and the Colorado Community College System are working to create a digital badge ecosystem across higher education institutions and industry in Colorado. The ecosystem is intended to provide transparent, portable credentials for learners through competency-based micro-credentials. It began in 2013 in response to needs from industry for shorter training turnarounds and a more credentialed workforce. Early collaborations established principles of learner-focused, community-centered and industry-driven badges, and a structure was developed to connect competencies, curriculum maps and badge graphics. Pilot programs issued over 130 badges from 2014-2015. Efforts continue to expand industry recognition of badges and connect badges to credit-bearing pathways and degrees.
