  18. Faculty Use of Technology Survey • Surveys completed by 220 faculty members • Respondents asked about current and future interest in use of technology tools for communication, teaching and resources • Highlights • Almost all faculty use some form of technology • Broad range of technology tools used • More than half of respondents interested in using more tools

  19. Most Frequently Used Technology Tools

  20. Less Frequently Used Technology Tools Text messaging Interactive classroom response technology Social media Webinar/podcasts Smart phone Conferencing Video/audio recording eBooks Tablet

  21. Future Use of Technology Tools What technology tools would you like to use in the future? • Open educational resources (18%) • Video and/or audio (18%) • Tablets/iPads(16%) • Online tutoring (15%) • Canvas (14%) • Tegrity(11%) • Document camera (10%) • Electronic textbooks (10%) • Interactive classroom technologies (10%) • Online conferencing (10%)

  22. Lessons Learned– Enabling More Technology Use • Time to learn about & practice using technology for teaching & learning • Training to gain proficiency in use of technology tools • Consistent technology available in classrooms & online • Evidence that using technology tools are effective for student learning

  23. Seattle Community Colleges Seattle Community CollegesInteractive Online Technologies to Improve Student Learning Outcomes Carey Schroyer, Faculty Development Coordinator Biology Faculty, South Seattle Community College

  24. Using Interactive Technology to Engage Biology 100 Students in Active Learning 2. Interactive Online Labs Cost to Students: Free • Interactive online labs (require internet connection for completion). 1. Interactive Textbook Cost to Students: Free • Downloadable in PDF, tablet, Kindle, android, etc. • Helps the instructor accommodate multiple learning styles by providing multiple alternatives for content delivery

  25. Biology 100 Comparing Student Outcomes: Fall Quarter 2011 verses 2012

  26. Biology 100 Comparing Student Outcomes: Winter Quarter 2012 verses 2013

  27. Biology 100 Comparing Student Outcomes: Lab Activities and Quiz Scores Highlights: • Lab homework completion rate higher than corresponding on campus lab homework completion. • Lab scores imply students are understanding the material. • Lab quiz scores for online labs higher than similar lab quiz scores for comparable face-to-face class (using bench labs).

  28. Biology 100: Student Comments Regarding the Use of Interactive Technology to Present Course Content Loved free textbook. The textbook was easy to access; I was able to get it immediately. Labs were really fun and well explained. Labs were the best part of the class. Labs really helped me learn the material. Lots of really helpful videos and animations embedded in the textbookbut I didn’t have time to look at all of them.

  29. Lessons Learned from Biology 100 • Overall, the use of Interactive Technologies resulted in higher average student GPAs. • The use of interactive online labs correlates with higher levels of student lab engagement, homework completion rates, lab homework scores, and lab quiz scores. • Interactive technologies, however are not always utilized by students (even when freely available). • There is a learning curve for both students and instructors when using new technologies. • The successful use of interactive technology in one class does not guarantee it’s success in other classes.

  30. Seattle Community Colleges Seattle Community CollegesStudent Success in Online versus On-Campus Courses Tom Braziunas, Associate Dean, eLearning/Geology Faculty North Seattle Community College

  31. Completion & Passing Rates North Seattle Community College Data: Completion rates and passing rates for an apples-to-applescomparison of courses taught in bothon-campus and onlinemodalities On-campus completion rate = 82% Online completion rate = 80% On-campuscourse passing rate = 76% Online course passing rate = 75% 2007 – 2013 101,866 enrollments

  32. Completion & Passing Rates Seattle Times: “Online classes may worsen educational achievement gap, study shows” North Seattle Community College Data 2007 – 2013: Apples-to-applescomparisons Passing rates (%) for full-time students Passing rates (%) for part-time students

  33. Evidence-Driven Model

  34. Lessons Learned & Work Ahead • Factors supporting comparable completion rates in online & campus learning? • “Secrets” to our success… • How to “raise rates” & “close the gap”? Will blended learning work? • Reasons to expect success… • First steps: • NSCC Hybrid Evening AA Degree Program • I-DEA “Flipped Classroom” Instructional Strands

  35. Seattle Community Colleges Seattle Community CollegesUsing Technology for Effective Course Content Delivery Stephanie Delaney, Associate Dean, eLearning/Political Science Faculty Seattle Central Community College

  36. Learning Management Systems • Canvas Media Recordings • Content delivery • Grading feedback • Discussions & assignment submissions • Mobile • Tegrity Lecture Capture • Classroom or desktop • Effortless access to multiple formats • Data analytics

  37. LessonsLearned • Students appreciate & use class recordings as learning tool • “Flipped Classrooms” require training for students and faculty • Data can be used to improve teaching & learning, but training needed

  38. Seattle Community Colleges Seattle Community CollegesUse of Technology to Improve Student Progression & Completion in Math Wendy Rockhill, Dean, Science and Mathematics Seattle Central Community College

  39. Personalizing the Learning Experience Mathematica • Wolfram Research - fully integrated technical computing software WAMAP: Washington Mathematics Assessment & Placement • mathematics assessment and course management platform Online and Hybrid Courses Computer Science and Math Courses Linked Science and Mathematics

  40. Personalizing the Learning Experience ALEKS: Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces • mastery based, computerized instructional application • ALEKS = Assessment • one-year pathway that culminates in college-level statistics Science and Mathematics

  41. Lessons Learned Winter 2012: 2011-2012: 84.8% passed with 2.0 or better 58.3% completed pathway 36.3% completed 2 levels ALEKS Science and Mathematics
