1. ELEARNING ORIENTATION
REBOOT

2. REBOOT OF PREVIOUSLY CREATED
ORIENTATION THROUGH TITLE III

3. CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS
CHALLENGES IN PREVIOUS
VERSION
• MOST LEARNING OBJECTS WERE NOT
MOBILE-ENABLED
• IT WAS HOSTED EXTERNALLY BY A
SMALL FIRM AND WOULD OFTEN “GO
DOWN”
• IT DIDN’T WORK WITH SEVERAL
VERSIONS OF WEB BROWSERS
SOLUTIONS IN CURRENT
VERSION
• BUILT TO BE MOBILE-FRIENDLY
• HOSTED INTERNALLY, WE CAN
CONTROL UPTIME BETTER
• WORKS BETTER WITH MODERN WEB
BROWSERS
• IMPROVED DEVELOPMENT TOOLS =
CONTEMPORARY LOOK, FEEL, AND
FUNCTION OF LEARNING OBJECTS

4. WHAT ABOUT THE WORK DONE BY THE TITLE
III COMMITTEE?
• WORK OF THE TITLE III COMMITTEE WAS PRESERVED AND REBOOTED
• CATEGORIES AND CONTENT OF LEARNING OBJECTS IS CONSISTENT
• DEVELOPMENT OCCURRED WITH EXTERNAL DESIGNERS AND DEVELOPERS
• DEVELOPMENT TOOLS ARE ONES WE ALSO USE INTERNALLY, SO WE CAN UPDATE
IT OURSELVES WITHOUT OUTSIDE CUSTOM WORK

5. WHAT ABOUT THE NEED?
• SPRING 2015 SURVEYED FACULTY ON NEED FOR ELEARNING STUDENT
PREPAREDNESS
• 148 FACULTY RESPONDED – 53% WAS FULL-TIME FACULTY, 47% PART-TIME
• 89% OF FACULTY INDICATED THAT IF THERE WAS AN ASSESSMENT THAT WAS
AVAILABLE WITHIN BLACKBOARD THAT COULD BE USED TO ASSESS STUDENTS’
READINESS FOR ONLINE LEARNING, THEY WOULD USE IT
• 88% INDICATED THAT IF MINI-MODULES WERE AVAILABLE WITHIN BLACKBOARD
TO GO WITH THE ASSESSMENTS, THEY WOULD USE THEM
• FIND FULL SURVEY RESULTS HERE

15. ABOUT THE BETA ASSESSMENTS
• THERE ARE 5 SECTIONS: (1) BEING A SUCCESSFUL STUDENT, (2) BEING AN
ONLINE STUDENT AT TRI-C, (3) USING BLACKBOARD, (4) INTERNET BASICS, AND
(5) MANAGING YOUR TIME WELL
• EACH SECTION HAS A POOL OF 30 QUESTIONS
• STUDENTS RANDOMLY GET 10 OF THOSE QUESTIONS
• CRITERIA IS SET AT 80% OR ABOVE IS “PASSING” (THAT CAN BE CHANGED BY
INSTRUCTOR)
• WHEN A STUDENT PASSES THAT ASSESSMENT AT 80% OR BETTER, THEY GET A
DIGITAL BADGE FOR THAT SKILL (OR “ACHIEVEMENT” IN BLAKCBOARD)
• INSTRUCTORS CAN VIEW RESULTS AUTOMATICALLY IN GRADEBOOK

17. CONTINUING CHALLENGES/NEXT STEPS

• ARE THESE THE OVERALL RIGHT SKILLS?
