ONLINE LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE Mid- and End-of-Year Final Report 2010-2011 I. Goal ANGEL 7.4 Implementation Support During the 2010-2011 year, the online learning platform will move from version 7.3 to 7.4. Support is needed to maintain documentation and organize training. We will work with the DITFD &LRC to devise and implement a plan for the upgrade. II. Response The upgrade process is well underway. Activities and initiatives for the upgrade included video how-to's, documentation, one-on-one and small group training, face-to-face and email contact. III. Purpose During the fall 2010 and spring 2011 semesters, ANGEL Mentors and the Online Leadership Team supported faculty in the following ways: Provided one-on-one support Provided training workshops Created training videos Collaborated ideas for the Upgrade to ANGEL 7.4 IV. Overview of Activities 1. How-to Videos To date, the following video clips are available for faculty review: Homepage Syllabus About this Section Back up a course Enable/Turn on your course for students Gradebook Reorder assignments (ANGEL Gradebook) Discussion Setup: Interaction Tab Dropbox Set-up Assessment Setup: Interaction Tab Converting Quizzes to Assessments Greening Your Curriculum All of the aforementioned titles will help faculty prepare for the upgrade and review useful aspects of the course management system. The video clips range from 3 minutes to over 30 minutes in length. Faculty can access the video clips from: http://www.kcc.edu/FacultyStaff/departments/ktlc/Pages/tutorials.aspx 2. Documentation Documentation for the upgrade is also available. Faculty may access all available documentation by visiting the Teaching and Learning Center website. http://www.kcc.edu/FacultyStaff/departments/ktlc/Pages/tutorials.aspx ANGEL Mentors have also documented contacts using EXCEL to manage the upgrade data.

3. Training Sessions Both ANGEL Mentors have conducted one-on-one and small group training sessions. To date: Trained 17 faculty members Held 25 training sessions (includes video clip production) 4. One-on-One Meetings with Faculty Working with the Online Leadership Team, progress toward the ANGEL upgrade is moving ahead. Members of the committee selected full time and adjunct faculty to work with one-on-one. A checklist, which provides highlights of topics to be discussed with each faculty member, guided the face-to-face meetings. The tentative target date for contact of January 2011 was realized. 5. Mentor Meetings During the past seven months, ANGEL Mentors and Donna Smith have met thirteen (13) times to discuss the transition process. Meeting times varied from 1 to 3 hours per meeting. 6. Upgrade to ANGEL 7.4: Independent Study Option Videos detailing the changes and procedures that will take place during the ANGEL 7.4 upgrade are now available on the Teaching and Learning Center webpage. http://www.kcc.edu/FacultyStaff/departments/ktlc/Pages/tutorials.aspx The OLT felt that an “independent study” option was necessary in order for all faculty to learn about the changes that will take place. With the video option, any full time or adjunct instructor who cannot meet faceto-face with an OLT member will still have access to easy-to-follow preparation videos. A pilot group is formed and will begin testing on or after January 6, 2011. The goal of the pilot group is to find any inconsistencies or issues with the overall format/delivery of the option. Members of the pilot group included: Amy Hertz and John Bordeau 7. Upgrade Survey The OLT will create and conduct a faculty survey in efforts to measure the quality of our efforts in regards to the upgrade to 7.4. The questions will verify if contact was made and if the available resources were adequate in order to prepare for the upgrade. 1. Full Time Faculty Adjunct 2. Do you use ANGEL? Yes No 3.
