  2. What is the OEI? • The Online Education Initiative (OEI) is a state-funded collaborative effort among California Community Colleges (CCCs) to increase student success and completion by working together to increase access to quality online courses and support services for students. • Ensure that more students can obtain certificates, degrees, and transfer to four-year colleges in a timely manner. Special attention is given to support services that are tailored the diverse needs of community college students.

  3. Course Exchange • This is the final product of the OEI, but the one that is the most complex. • Courses selected for the pilot are part of ADTs (C-ID approved) and are courses that commonly fill quickly. • 4/10/15 update- 67 courses reviewed so far. • Courses selected for pilot • Meant to enable students to take online classes from across the group of participating colleges. None of the colleges in SMCCD are participating in the pilot. • Must develop business processes and standards to ensure consistent and effective data transfer between colleges. Details still a work in progress. • Launch with pilot colleges using new CMS is expected in Fall 2015. Courses are now being offered, but the exchange has not been structured.

  4. eTutoring • OEI nettutor from Link Systems International (LSI) • OEI has negotiated volume discounted pricing for online tutoring services. • Also funded a systemwide license for LSI’s WorldWideWhiteboard online tutoring platform. This platform can be used by any college wanting to hire its own tutors to provide online tutoring.

  5. Student Readiness Modules • Student Readiness modules, including Smarter Measure Assessment – Pilot colleges began using these in Jan and modules are now available to all at no cost. • Module 1: Introduction to Online learning • Module 2: Getting Tech Ready • Module 3: Organizing for Online Success • Module 4: Online Study Skills and Managing Time • Module 5: Communication Skills for Online Learning • Module 6: Online Reading Strategies • College can adopt any or all parts.

  6. Canvas • 2/12/15 – Canvas chosen as the course management system for the OEI course exchange. • Canvas - free trial available • Canvas is free to all CCC through the 18/19 academic year. • Cohorts have been structured for the conversion. • https://ccconlineed.instructure.com/courses/90/pages/implementation-guide

  7. Course Rubric • meant to ensure quality of course design as well as overall quality of courses in the Exchange. • Could be used for course design or course evaluation • OEI Rubric • On-going evaluation, particularly around regular and effective contact. Needed for accreditation. Could use section of rubric on Interaction and Collaboration to assess.

  8. Standards for faculty preparation • OEI does not currently have any requirement. • There is currently interest in developing district-wide standards for faculty preparedness for teaching online.
