information system)– Automated shell creation– Automated account creation– Passes grades back to SIS– Automatic roster, profile, and gradebook
• “Agents” can quickly identify students and send notices, remediation, schedule appts. Etc.

• Students included in selection and implementation process
• Academic freedom vs. integration with SIS
• Faculty choice to use or not use• Faculty senate recommends to the
college, district, BOT• Other?

What about the Research?
• Center for Academic Transformation– http://www.center.rpi.edu– Carol A. Twigg, Ph.D. President and CEO
• Study: Increasing Success for Underserved Students: Redesigning Introductory Courses– Whole study is available for download

Studies Main Findings
• 14 of 15 projects reported improved learning outcomes as measured by pre and post assessments for minority students when compared to past performance in classes and traditional classes
![Page 13: Beyond the Basics Learning Management Systems (LMS) Michael Heumann, Distance Education Coordinator, Imperial Valley College Cindy Vinson, Distance Learning.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081806/5697bff91a28abf838cbfefc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What made the difference• Online tutorials for classes
– Interactive tutorials– Digitally recorded presentations and
demonstrations– Reading materials– Examples– Use of commercial software (especially for math)
• Continuous assessment and feedback– Lots of assessments– Do-it-till-you-get-it-right– Feedback for right and wrong answers; immediate
feedback– Allowing students to keep taking quiz until they
reach the criterion score
![Page 14: Beyond the Basics Learning Management Systems (LMS) Michael Heumann, Distance Education Coordinator, Imperial Valley College Cindy Vinson, Distance Learning.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081806/5697bff91a28abf838cbfefc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What made the difference
• Increased interaction among students– Use of discussion boards– Forum discussion– Team work and student feedback
• Access to more individualized assistance– Identify students with challenges for office
hours, remediation exercises, tutoring
• Use of scheduled milestones (not self-paced) but more flexibility with time
