- Humorous cartoon I picture when looking at students in classrooms using technology Funny as this may be, reality is that more students are accessing technology at younger ages How many of your children are comfortable with some form of technology? Comfortability vs. Tech Savvy are two very different things Trends in K-12 Teaching Initiatives for students in K-12 to have access to tablets/laptops for learning LPS Example Implementing this technology allows information to be updated easily and accessible Educators and Administrators need to become the technology experts, they’re the ones controlling content, answering parents’ questions when they don’t know how to help their child Changing Demographic of Incoming Students Projections from the National Center for Education Statistics Increase enrollment from older students by 2023 (25+) Increased enrollment from students going to school part-time vs. full-time Biggest implications for these two groups of students are that coming to a traditional brick-and-mortar campus might not be convenient for them, might not have the time or ability to get to campus, making sure information is accessible to them is important
- Interesting Trends in Online Enrollment Any guesses out of 10, how many undergraduate students were enrolled in at least 1 online course? Office of Online & Distance Education – Marie Barber, UNL Annual Year 2014-2015 Student Credit Hours & Headcount Trend also increasing Nationwide
- First Trend I noticed in my research was how information is getting to students today Publishing Industry’s Shift to Digital Curricula The biggest pedagogical shift has been the move from traditional print textbooks to online information Students have the expectation that they’ll be able to access it on multiple devices, and it will all look and work the same way on each device (Includes being interactive) Cheaper to have information online rather than in print, also accessible almost instantly, option to download hard copies rather than tied to internet access For publishers, not as great of profit margins for them, need to supplement homework/answer guides along with digital copies to make some money back Interactive and Trackable Absolutely my favorite part because I enjoy looking at data and outcomes, but the ability for students to interact with the information in a unique way rather than just reading it in a book Great River Learning was a great example of the possibilities when it comes to interaction with material Reading check quizzes, pre-post surveys, time material is accessed, how long is material being accessed for? If we can create the right formula for a course, will that result in student success? If not, how can we maximize that number to get the most number of students understanding the material Development of Learning Management Systems Accessible on multiple devices, opportunity for instructors to customize/create the course that will best serve their students
- Development of Learning Management Systems Another evolving trend is how Learning Management Systems have changed. I had the chance to sit in on a Canvas training workshop this past week, and Leona Barratt who works with Technology Training associate said that UNL was one of the first to implement Blackboard and use it on a large scale. That was in 1999, can anyone remember when it first started? Some things that were different from when it started? Even for me starting as a freshman, Blackboard has changed it’s functionality and purpose in students’ life Technology-Enabled Pedagogical Models Lectures In-Person: Have to follow the pace of the professor, usually long process where they need to be physical, can interact/ask professor directly at that point in time Online: Shorter videos, can follow at their own pace, can watch lecture when it is convenient for them, might be harder to reach out to professor through email Trends in LMS Market Share Data Important things to highlight from the most recent data from the spring Canvas is catching on in other institutions. Fast. Increase in Blackboard institutions does not equal retaining market share Blackboards market share decreased from Fall to Spring, but still overall share leader in institutions using it’s LMS Important to note that not everyone leaving Blacboard is going straight to Canvas, universities are realizing how easy it is to transfer to different LMS Spring data slightly skewed, includes schools with at least 500+ FTE students, fall only includes schools with at least 700+ FTE students
- Alternative Credentialing & Pathways (non-degree programs) Realizing that sometimes the final degree isn’t the only thing they need or they want to supplement their education with another skill or subject area, but don’t either have the time or resource for that. In come alternative credits (Previously known as badges) Boot Camp Opportunities Northeastern, Rutgers, MIT well-publicized institutions publicizing their programs Provide skill development in specific areas Rutgers Coding Boot Camp geared towards adult learners and part-time students looking to gain experience and learn more about the coding industry 24-week, blended course with online and in-person sessions open to the public Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) Giving students the opportunity to learn online, convenient and accessible for people looking to supplement current training or learning on their own Different from Boot Camps in that they’re completely taught online, with a beginning and end. Normally university level information Currently in the Big Ten, 9 other schools offer some sort of MOOC classes, mainly through Coursera which offers the most at this point (660) Coursera Platform that offers MOOCs University of Illinois Urbana Champaign I won’t talk about Udacity and edX as much because they don’t have the same offering size as Coursera, but I’d be happy to share a comparison that I found of all three providers that goes more in-depth LinkedIn & Lynda? Important to note that the LinkedIn might be making a play for the alternative credentialing market/alternative education after purchasing Lynda Would probably be more geared towards suggesting members courses that they could take that could help them stand out as a candidate based on what kind of opportunity they’re looking for
- Competency-Based Education Designing a course/program for a student that’s centered around the mastery of the topic rather than the time the student is forced to sit through the course Student follow program outline, and then perform certain tasks or assignments to prove mastery throughout the semester like homework, quizzes or exams Competency-Based Education allows students to move past areas that they understand and spend more time on areas they need help on For universities and educators, makes sure that students really do understand information Traditional Degree Timeline vs. Personalized & Customizable Education
- Tying this back to online teaching, just how does this relate? For one thing, the early adopters of competence based education are putting a majority of the courses online Demographic of Student Nontraditional student, distance away from where traditional classes are being held Credit-Hour Standard vs. Direct Assessment Student moves through courses after showing they’ve mastered certain topic through assessments set by instructors, little teaching is done in this model Have harder time having this actually accredited Purdue’s model still follows credit-hour standard Little instructing being done by professors because content is already created What does student support look like? When the student doesn’t have the actual professor in front of them to ask them questions, create relationship with them Video-conferencing tools, utilizing email/back and forth communication, limits in-person interactions for both students and faculty members, even over skype not the same as in person, demeanor is different, crummy connection? Instructional Design is Key Controlling and understanding how to present the information to students should be important Thinking about how effective is your course/program for the particular student, what if teaching with mix of CBE students and traditional credit-hour standard?
- Professional Enhancement Program Plays a large role in these 3 classes because even though they are geared around different topics dealing with professional development, they all have some form of technology utilized within them Publish content online, possibly opening for licensing curriculum for students that are not here on campus Competency-Based Education, can’t say that professional development can ever be mastered or if there is an end goal when looking at professional enhancement, but enjoy the idea of providing alternatives or helping to tailor those experiences students are looking for that may not follow a traditional business route Career Development & Planning Blended Classroom Style? Online component combined with in-class exercises, possibility of this translating to MOOC offered to many students because many of the in-class discussions/activities could be replicated through discussion boards, extra assignments, out-of-class assignments Internship/Job Strategies Delivery of the information because most of the course interaction is coming online, potential to transfer these concepts and ideas to online? Probably not because missing out on key in-person activities Professional & Life Skills Giving students suggestions ideas on what are some other life skills/professional skills you would like to develop for the future? Any idea of connecting with potential MOOCs for the future, another form of publishing information online through digital curriculum? Career Coaching Form of professional development for students, have the chance to work through competency-based sessions/topics to work towards putting themselves in the best possible position for a job,
