Tuesday, March 23, 2010, 11:30 a.m.
Shoemaker, Pryor, Blinn College

Have 160 sections of online courses. Also use blended and hybrid. Faculty push to enhance current LMS. First to develop was a student lounge. Student lounge for nursing. Faculty lounges for Allied Health Math Social Csiences, Biology, Fine Arts and Child Develpoment.

Committees:
  • Faculty Senate: created a discussion board and added members as students. Mentors assist those that have never used the LMS (eCampus).
  • Distance Education Advisory Committee:
  • Online Assessment Committee:
  • Standards Committee
Student Evaluation
  • Student evaluation of instruction. IRE created surveys for online and another survey for blended and hybrid. Instructor can see survey results with student data hidden for anonymity.
Coordinating Board visit
  • Created group for Co-Board. Each section assigned to applicable college group. Each group then populated the area as needed. Very helpful for Co-Board reviewers.
Other integrations
  • Use Tegrity, TurnItIn, Merlot, Dallas TeleLearning, Softchalk, Respondus, StudyMate
  • Each of these is embedded within the course page. The windows open either within the classroom window or as a separate window based on instructor preference.
