1 Coffeyville Community College Progress Report for Associate of Arts Online Delivery November 2011 Alysia Johnston Vice President of Academics Brad Weber Director of Distance Learning
2 Introduction In November of 2009, Coffeyville Community College received a Higher Learning Commission focus visit which included a review of the college s Online Associate of Arts degree. HLC Accreditation was granted for the online Associate of Arts degree. However, the HLC focus visit team had the following suggestions and/or recommendations for further improvements: 1. The establishment of a Distance Learning Committee or the use of a current committee for Distance Learning decisions 2. Identify and implement a review and assessment process that evaluates the institution s online services and offerings in a holistic manner 3. To find an alternative to the Current Learning Management System of Blackboard/ Webct (which will not be eligible for support within the next 24 months) 4. Better access to library resources for online students 5. Further implementation of Best Practices in Online Delivery including development of a community of learners and encouraging a dynamic learning environment In response to the HLC team s recommendations, the Director of Distance Learning at CCC proceeded to incorporate the following items: 1) the establishment of a Distance Learning Committee or the use of a current committee for Distance Learning decisions. In January 2010, Coffeyville Community College established the use of the college s Academic Affairs Committee in relation to the planning and overall guidance for the Distance Learning program. CCC s Academic Affairs committee currently includes faculty personnel from each of the academic divisions including English, Math, Social Sciences, Health and Physical Education, along with the Distance Learning Director, CCC s Registrar, Dean of Academics, and the Dean of Technical Programs. This committee will serve as the steering mechanism for the Distance Learning Program See Appendix #1 2) Identify and Implement a review and assessment process that evaluates the institution s online services and offerings in a holistic manner. In conjunction with the Academic Affairs Committee, the Distance Learning Director researched and established an Online Course Rubric. The Online Course Rubric aids Coffeyville Community College s Distance Learning program in the following ways: Provides guidance to current faculty members when designing new online courses Provides guidance to future faculty members as to what constitutes a quality online course. Provides guidance to CCC s administration team as a way to monitor the quality of its online offerings. The goal of this Rubric is to help strengthen the quality of CCC s online offerings as well as increase and maximize student interaction with the professor and campus resources. See Appendix #2 2
3 3) To find an alternative to the Current Learning Management System Blackboard/Webct. (which will not be eligible for support within the next 24 months.) During the Fall of 2009 Coffeyville Community College needed to decide whether to upgrade their existing LMS of Webct (which was being phased out by its parent company of Blackboard) to a newer version of Blackboard or to explore other options for a LMS. Through a review of resources for the Distance Learning program and research into other learning management systems, CCC decided to switch it s LMS to the software Moodle. Faculty training sessions were held in March and May of A Student Moodle instructional video was made available to students through the Distance Learning portion of CCC s website in May 2010 Coffeyville Community College switched to Moodle as a production LMS starting in the Summer term of See Appendix #3 4) Better Access to Library Resources for Online Students In November 2009, CCC s Graham Library updated and overhauled its presence on the main school website. New online resources were made available via CCC s website. They include: Books, College and Career information, e-books, encyclopedia, Guide to Internet Resources, Medical e-library, Periodicals & Newspapers, Search Engines, State and National Information, Streaming Video, and a link to Write that Paper Right! See Appendix #4 5) Further Implementation of Best Practices in Online Delivery including development of a community of learners and encouraging a dynamic learning environment. Coffeyville Community College s Distance Learning Director along with the Academic Affairs committee has enabled the following policies and procedures in order to develop a community of learners and encourage a dynamic learning environment. Implementation of Online Course Rubric The implementation of the Online Course Rubric has helped foster a spirit of quality enhancement amongst our online faculty members especially in the area of student/professor interaction. Updating of CCC s Online Instructor Expectations. Requirement of Online faculty to meet at both Fall and Spring In-service sessions to discuss new online technologies along with new and updated learning theories in Distance Learning. Creation of Online Faculty Development course inside Moodle which all CCC online faculty members have access to. This allows CCC s online faculty access to items such as Best Practices, CCC s Online Rubric, and help information for the software Moodle. See Appendix #5 3
4 Findings and Conclusions The main goal of any Distance Learning program should be to engage professors and students in a dynamic and interactive manner which will lead to increased understanding of the course outcomes by the student. Coffeyville Community College Distance Learning program is striving towards this ultimate goal and it is through the actions and efforts mentioned above that CCC is working towards this end result. 4

7 Appendix B Rubric for Online Instruction What should a quality online course look like? This rubric offers a framework for addressing this question. Use of this rubric represents a developmental process for online course design and delivery, and provides a means for an instructor to self-assess course(s) based on CCC s expectations. Furthermore, the rubric provides a means for supporting and recognizing a faculty member s effort in developing expertise in online instruction as part of our commitment to high quality learning environments. This Rubric for Online Instruction may be used in one of three ways: 1. As a course self-evaluation tool advising instructors how to revise an existing course to the Rubric for Online Instruction. 2. As a way to design a new course for the online environment, following the rubric as a road map. 3. As a way for CCC administration to gauge the quality of an online course.
