1 H. Lynn Bradman 1 Title: Community Colleges Online: Best Practices for Learning Rationale: Community college students are perhaps one of the most diverse groups of students in the American higher education system. They vary widely according to age, race, life history, ability, previous educational achievement, income levels, work schedules, family responsibilities and their expectations of education. Due to the diversity in their student populations, community colleges may need to provide a menu of delivery methods to meet student needs. Online course delivery is one such method. Community college instructional designers and faculty are faced with developing online courses and course delivery methods that address alternative learning styles, dispositions, life experience, and needs. Additionally, past learning experiences, and past experience with technology may also play a role in the success or failure of students in virtual learning environments. Providing both mixed mode (classroom enhanced with online components) courses, in addition to totally online courses may be a best practice for ensuring success and completion for a wider array of community college students. Literature search: Keywords: online learning, community colleges, online teaching, distance education, curriculum, faculty development, online learning and learning styles, learning machines, learning theory, education and psychology, adult learning, technology and teaching, e-learning, e-teaching, Planned Bibliography Acebo, S.

4 H. Lynn Bradman 4 Woods, R. H. (2002). How Much Communication Is Enough in Online Courses? International Journal of Instructional Media, 29(4), Tentative Outline: Introduction: Learning theory overview Brief history of the alternative delivery of education Introduction to online learning i.e., how where, when? Online learning and community college students needs Significance Online learning can be more than correspondence courses Online can work with many types of learner Learning styles can be addressed online We can teach constructively online i.e., use active learning techniques. We can design for a wider array of students Research questions What types of online courses are being offered in community colleges currently? What are some of the techniques that work best for particular student variables and why? What kinds of professional development and training are being offered to aid community college faculty with their online teacher training and responsibilities? Literature review Journal articles Books Chronicle Interviews Summary Review of learning theory and links to practice. Evaluation of current practices Conclusions Re-evaluation of the problem Were the research questions answered in the literature? What are the implications for policy and change? Recommendations for further research Description of paper: This literature review will begin with a brief introduction to learning theory and how it relates to techniques commonly used in alternative delivery methods in education both historically and currently. An overview of the history of online teaching will be included followed by an overview of community college student characteristics and needs. This section will be followed by a review of the best practices in online delivery identified in the literature and a summary of current practice in community colleges. Additionally, professional development issues and trends will be discussed. The paper will continue with a final summary that links learning theory to practice in the online environment. There will be discussion of the extent to which community colleges are fulfilling the needs of a diverse student population through technology enhanced offerings followed by implications for policy and suggestions for further research.
5 H. Lynn Bradman 5 Presentation: The topic will be introduced and a brief overview of the major points of the review will be presented. Audience members will then experience a simulated mixed-mode classroom in which they will become active participants. A PowerPoint presentation will be used and an outline will be provided. Equipment needs: Computer and projector, paper and pencils, crayons, markers.
