2011 Annual Report - Kankakee Community College

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.

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.
