Direct Connection to Policy Area 5 of The Illinois Commitment On-line Services of the Respiratory Therapy Program St. Augustine College What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? The effective understanding of the basic principles and key topics related to the Fundamentals of Mechanical Ventilation requires that students develop skills that are not normally met in classroom instruction. The Respiratory Therapy Program has implemented a new on-line tutorial to engage students in independent, selfpace study. Description of the effective practice: One essential component of this on-line tutorial is that it requires student commitment to attend at least ten sessions, which have been carefully structured by the instructors. Students participate in an in-depth review of materials covered in the classroom, and actively pursue study of topics reflecting student interests. The self directed student plan responds to a series of learning experiences designed as a response to the goals and objectives of the course. The knowledge gained helps students obtain a better understanding of the mechanics of ventilation. How does this practice achieve sustainability? As SAC has been able to implement more technology in the classrooms, the Respiratory Therapy Program has successfully used this approach. The on-line tutorial has been housed in our ecampus system. The program hired a part-time lab assistant, who is available to students by phone and in person during business hours. SAC plans to further expand the on-line tutorial to other areas. What are the results/measurable outcomes? Measurable outcomes for the on-line tutorial are based on participation and results from midterm and final exam taken on-line.

Direct Connection to Policy Area 5 of The Illinois Commitment Outcome Based Identification of Core Learning Competencies Shawnee Community College What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? In developing a comprehensive academic assessment and data collection plan, the faculty led assessment committee indicated a need for a reliable measurement of student knowledge, skills and abilities. Description of the effective practice: A framework of competency definitions were developed that provided solid linkage to the outbound needs that students leaving the institution would have. These needs were determined by an evaluation of student exit interviews, environmental scans of the local economic / job market and nationally defined academic benchmarks of student acumen in various areas. These definitions were then refined to a set core competency indicators that were performance based. These indicators were then used to evaluate and align individual course objectives to be more reflective of the intuitional core competencies. How does this practice achieve sustainability? The practice of evaluation of course outlines will be ongoing, with each division / discipline being reviewed on a rotating schedule over the course of a 4 year cycle. The process will also be reflected in the annual program review process. What are the results/measurable outcomes? • Data collection instruments are currently being developed and deployed to provide information on academic program strengths and weakness based upon impact toward the core competency levels. • The data collected will be used to drive program evaluation, identify needed improvements and justify curriculum changes. • Student performance, in regards to the core competencies, will be strengthened as indicated by the outcome evaluations.
