11 The National Repository of Online Courses: Community-Guided Content Development

12 The Goals of NROC To create a repository of high-quality, high school, Advanced Placement, and undergraduate courses and distribute them at no cost to students and teachers worldwide. In pursuing this goal, NROC achieves other important outcomes, including, addressing the needs of underserved students helping establish content and technical standards for online content fostering collaboration among content developers and users supporting the Open Educational Resource movement become financially self-sustaining

13 NROC Membership Community-guide content development (not crowd sourced) Educators, designers, technologists, and administrators working together to promote the continuous improvement of online courses through collaborative development of high-quality content and instruction.

23 NROC Member Case Study Offering Course Content Statewide CHALLENGE: Offer high-quality online course content statewide The (NROC courses) were a unique find. The quality is extraordinary, the flexibility is exceptional, and the feedback we re getting from our teachers is the content is amazing. Steve Nelson Chief Information Technology Strategist, ODOE

24 NROC Member Case Study Credit Recovery CHALLENGE: High percentage of students not passing or completing courses The use of the new OPS-branded HippoCampus site is very exciting for us, providing an additional resource for our teachers and giving them the ability to create their own HippoCampus pages. Rachel Wise, Ph.D. Director of Secondary Education, OPS

25 NROC Member Case Study Special Needs Students CHALLENGE: How to connect with mildly autistic and ADHD students For students with ADHD, it s there when they re ready and can focus on it; for students who are mildly autistic, it allows them to limit the stimuli in a way that s more comfortable for them. Liz Woolard Advanced Placement Physics teacher, RCHS

26 NROC Member Case Study Struggling Students CHALLENGE: ESL and struggling students falling behind in class I ve noticed that they re testing well on vocabulary words we reviewed in HippoCampus... The HippoCampus lessons really help reinforce their vocabulary with nice, clear audio, video, and animations. Rebekka Stone Biology Teacher, HSHS

27 NROC Member Case Study Dual Enrollment CHALLENGE: High school students wishing to jumpstart their college experience The NROC content is very high quality and perfect for starting our dual enrollment program. Its learning object architecture makes it very flexible and allows us to customize it for our program. Judy Lowe, Assist Vice President, Distributed Ed and Multimedia

28 NROC Member Case Study Replacing Costly Textbooks CHALLENGE: Textbook prices are too high. On teaching US History without a textbook... we turned to NROC. I left my discussion questions, midterms, and finals the same as they were when we used the textbook, so I could compare outcomes. I was happy to find that my students are right on track with the digital alternative... Karen Kaemmerling Chair of Social Sciences, CCCOnline

36 A National Need... An NROC Member Need

37 NROC Algebra 1 and Developmental Math Project Goal: Increase the number of students that pass algebra 1 and developmental math as a bridge to a college education Funding: $5.5 M from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation $2.3 M from the William & Flora Hewlett Foundation Project Audience: Algebra 1: Ages 13-16, first-time algebra students Dev Math: Ages 16-80, students have failed math at least once Objectives: Provide learning activities to support an efficient path to credit-bearing courses Offer multiple modes of instruction Support multiple curricular standards Allow for flexible course configurations with a collection of learning objects Leverage the power of digital media

38 NROC Development Approach Research Focus Groups/Pilots Technology & Engineering Product Design Professional Development Curriculum

39 Algebra 1 and Developmental Math Scope of the Effort Conducted 68 roundtable discussions More than 720 students, instructors, and administrators Representatives from 153 academic institutions in 28 states

40 Focus Group Key Findings Administrators and Faculty Professional development is essential for supporting teacher success Few instructors and institutions are satisfied with existing methods or digital options Existing digital products: too expensive, inflexible curricula proprietary management system High value placed on flexibility, affordability, multiple pathways for learners

41 Focus Group Key Findings Students Keep it simple: struggling students and English language learners value simplicity Real-world examples and application are a key to engagement Puzzles, animations, simple illustrations, and problem sets are important Humor, esoteric example, and idioms trip-up or confuse struggling students especially English language learners Students appreciate and identify with the presenters and real work examples
