Enrollment Management Plan - Kean University

Goal 3: Expand course offerings for working adults and non-traditional populations.
Objective Measurement of Assessment Timeline
Objective 3.1: To establish a weekend
college where entire programs will be
available for transfer students.
Objective 3.2: To significantly increase
online and hybrid learning opportunities.
Objective 3.3: To train faculty members
to effectively teach in non-traditional
learning models.
Objective 3.4: To strengthen Kean’s
information infrastructure to support an
increase in online learning
A weekend college will be operational by FY 2014 and will
consist of no fewer than five programs, which will provide all
upper-division courses and be focused on transferring in students
as well as native working students. The objective will be complete
if the weekend college is operational during FY 2014. The
development phase of this enterprise starts in FY 2012.
The first part of this objective requires capacity building, which
will take place in FY 2012 with training sessions on best practices
in online and hybrid course development with a focus on
assessment. Based on FY 2012, a benchmark for expansion will
occur with each fiscal year.
Starting in FY 2012, OCIS and the Center for Professional
Development will conduct no fewer than four workshops on best
practices for teaching online and hybrid courses. These sessions
will be open to resident and part-time faculty. The objective will be
achieved if at least 25 faculty members take at least one of the
workshops in this area during the fiscal year. The objective is
ongoing starting in FY 2012 and will be measured on an annual
basis.
Kean will unify its online infrastructure to include upgraded
versions of Blackboard to facilitate teaching. OCIS will make
recommendations on the best platforms for teaching and campus
leaders will inform OCIS of the best working platforms in this
area. The objective will be achieved after a consensus is formed on
the relative best learning platform and whether that unit has been
implanted at Kean.
