1 elac Ntes August 30, 2012 Intrductin Can we be a leader in elearning fr a residential campus. What des elearning mean fr a campus like this? Different missins fr different clleges/departments regarding elearning? D we need a missin/visin that is large and brad enugh that allws all departments/prgrams t fit within it? Hw d we avid a srt f cannibalizatin f residential experience by nline prgrams? elearning shuld be used t enrich learning. Mapping Miami elearning Retentin is the main reasn the reginal campuses gt int elearning (bstacles such as kids getting sick, wrk, etc.) Established Graduate Online Curses: Educatinal Leadership, Zlgy, Bilgical Sciences, Statistics, Teacher Ed.

Imprtant Questin: What directin shuld we g with in terms f third party prvider? Make sure yu wn the assets nce we are dne wrking with third party prviders. If it ges suth r we want t walk away, we want t wn the rights t the material. Faculty Develpment: Slan wrkshps, cnferences, research pprtunities. CELTUA is ffering sme faculty develpment stuff. Panel Discussin Panelists: Ray Schreder, University f Illinis- Springfield Lisa Templetn, Oregn State Extended Campus David Cillay, Washingtn State University Heather Huling, Old Dminin University Faculty Buy- In Identify faculty champins. Find the faculty members wh are excited. Give them the pprtunity and resurces. Fr instance, send them t a cnference r give them a graduate assistant. Once yu ve identified these faculty members then build a grup f faculty arund them and let them catch the excitement.

2 Washingtn State University advises us t fcus n external cmpensatin. They pay faculty t develp curses. See it as an alternative revenue surce. Faculty at WSU sees this nt as their jb but in additin t. We need them t understand the value. Its nt an extensin anymre, it is just part f their jb. Oregn State uses a revenue sharing mdel. It s the primary reasn faculty pt in. It s lucrative. In a strapped state institutin, prgrams generating revenue directly t cllege is very attractive. Sme faculty members are champins. They try it and then say I m ging t incrprate this stuff even int class- based experience. This is a real incentive fr faculty members. 80 percent f tuitin frm the prcess ges back t the cllege. This mney can be send t fund GA s, travel budgets fr cnferences, etc. Design Washingtn State has develped standards. Identified best practices fr WSU faculty and expectatins. At the end f the day the respnsibility is n the faculty, WSU desn t aren t want t put peple int a bx. Oregn State has an Instructinal Designer assigned t every faculty. It s a partnership in the design. The gal is t try t meet faculty members where they are at (sme will give it their all, sme it is nt as easy). The emphasis here is n the partnership. The administratin desn t just tell them t d it alne. Wh Decides What is Taught Online? At Oregn State University it is the academic units. We culd have all the market research in the wrld, if the cllege desn t want t put it nline we dn t. They have t want t wrk with us. OSU extended campus supprts university missin. Clleges missin is aligned with nline missin. It is the department s curse. Belngs with the academic unit. ON a diplma it desn t say yu tk it nline. This is an OSU curse and yu have an OSU degree. Yu have t get t thse learning utcmes, just lks different. Freedm f the department and faculty t cme up with all srts f ideas. First time faculty member wh has never taught nline, nly learned and taught in site based classrm we will ask hw have yu taught, what d yu d. What if yu lk at it frm this perspective nw. Its nt as if yu have t meet ne requirement. UIS: web cnferencing systems, blackbard, sft chalk lts and lts f tls. Try t integrate thse. Organizatinal structure is under VC fr Academic Affairs, they have a separate unit that technically supprts the tls. Learning Analytics UIS uses starfish within blackbard. Gather data n student use beynd what nrmal blackbard wuld prvide yu with. Adaptive learning engines are really an imprtant piece f the future f Higher Educatin. Mve students frward nly ne student has mastered material. Pre nline learning assessment UIS des nt use ne, thers are. Penn State uses ne. Ones available that aren t very expensive. Average age. The average f students participating in nline learning at Oregn State is 33. Mre than 50 percent are campus- based students. Ray Schreder frm UIS ntes, That is the gem f this fr yur campus students it is the pprtunity t interact with mid- career prfessinals abut scial issues r really any tpic. Cst

3 University f Illinis at Springfield charges $25 per credit hur, state authrizatin wuld add an extra $5. This generates a little ver 1 millin dllars, 25 percent ges t the distance learning unit. This makes up abut 1/3 rd f his budget. OSU is 75 dllar per credit hur. Where are yu seeing future directins fr yur institutins? Open educatinal resurces. OSU divisin Outreach and Engagement. Wrks tgether n a variety f things. Have dne a lt f learning pprtunities fr the state, bring it t peple within the state. Partnering with them creates learning mdules. Plan is t put them nline fr free. Put it n yur site- based curse, yur nline curse. Send faculty t cnferences. Ray sent twelve faculty members t Madisn Cnference n nline learning. Many Americans cannt easily affrd higher educatin. Peple questin if we will nly be serving upper class students. Online learning allws fr us t maintain upper divisin attentin, quality. MOOKS: Ggle has ffered its first MOOK. Apple has just pened up itunes U t everyne. Ray explains, Imagine if yu will Ggle becming an nline university. With all f the resurces they have. Imagine them receiving reginal accreditatin. Apple is the same. I mentin thse fr yu t think abut the fact that we are nt in a unique space. Ask the reprters wh have lst their jbs. This isn t that far ut. Old Dminin University is explring a partnership with Cisc fr their tw- way netwrk. They als have a successful Tw plus Tw system, where students take tw years at a cmmunity cllege and tw years at ODU. This is a site- based envirnment. Lwer divisin curses taken at Cmmunity Cllege, upper divisin classes taken at ODU. Student Supprt Services Oregn State University has tried t replicated the services we see n campus (Cunseling, Advising, Disability Services, etc.) What we have tried t d at OSU is replicate the services that they ffer n campus. Nt all the way there but getting there. They recently hired an nline career advisr. It can ften be difficult fr adult learners because they can t get t career fair. T meet this challenge OSU is putting career fairs nline by Skyping the businesses in. The gal is t give nline learners a campus- based experience. Campus- based advisrs have t serve their students first, nline students are waiting frever. We are spending a lt fr these students t apply, need smene t answer their questins. Every degree prgram has an advisr that is funded. Debriefing After Panel Is there a specific nline librarian? D they just g t the library r is there a special elearning librarian. Schls that had instructinal designers, verarching structure that crdinates all the nline learning. They had an pen dr. They culd help yu create the cntent if yu were having truble. But if yu dn t have that structure, its ging t fall n the faculty members if they are having truble creating a vide, where d they g? Training materials fr faculty develpment. Sme use nline curses, interesting idea because it puts faculty thrugh the experience. IU has a lt f theirs nline.

4 Peple wh want t teach nline start tw semesters ahead. Chrt experience assignment includes designing yur wn curse. Online educatin is a huge paradigm shift. Revenue sharing ges back t cllege, ges back t department. Revenue sharing is central t the buy- in questin. We need faculty t see that this mney will be cming back t them. Cncentrate n prgrams, rather than curses. If yu just have a few curses here and there des it really make students want t take a lt f curses? We need t give them a whle prgram. This will bring in mre revenue. WSU bringing in the entire campus experience dn t just g there fr the classes. Things like research webinars, and live streaming cultural events prvide them with the campus experience. Crdinated these ideas arund the nline gal. We have the pieces arund the university we just need t bring them in t this. Everyne uses blackbard. Als have revenue streams frm their fees, individual departments fund their platfrms (webcams, etc). Then leverage ther services that the university has. We want t be nimble and dynamic. Dn t want t tie urselves dwn t smething. If we chse t speak t ther flks speak t them abut learning analytics didn t really speak t this much. Expand mre regarding pedaggy think abut rich learning experiences. Decentralized versus Centralized: Might be useful t think abut which f these mdels is mst useful t us in the immediate and in the lng run. Perhaps an evlutinary way frm ne rganizatinal structure t anther? This visin shuld be ur ideal. It s a stretch gal where d we want t be? The dream. Will faculty be wrried that they need t be experts in delivering and creating nline cntent? What is this ging t d fr residential, traditinal students? Offers alternative ptins, summer, j- term ptins. Different types f experiences speak t residential students. Residential shuld mean cmmunal. They aren t actually n campus, but they have the shared Miami Experience (think abut study abrad). Can yu retain an academic cnnectin, t where they are lifelng learners thrugh Miami? Greatest thing abut Miami is that they had this great prfessr, it was a very persnal experience. That is a critical part f the Miami experience. We want t replicate that. Extending, Changing the experience? Enriching the experience. What language? Cmmittee shuld talk t new Miami Plan Task frce. D we need t mentin research at all? Hw lng des Miami need a visin fr elearning? Eventually the distinctin shuld disappear? Gal by end f semester is t have a draft reprt that answers questins Miami University elac Panelists 8/30/2012
