Online Learning
• Characterized by rapid proliferation. – 4.3 million undergrads– 20% of all undergrads
• Both championed and maligned– The No Significant Difference Phenome
non– “when… course materials and teaching
methodology were held constant, there were no significant differences ”
![Page 3: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Online Learning at CSU
• State of California Assembly Bill 386– Requires CSUs provide students access
to all fully online CSU courses across 23 campuses by Fall 2015
• At CSUF, we had 9438 online students in 2013– 15 online degree programs– 16 online professional development – 2 online degree completion programs– Students enrolled in standalone online
courses

“Systemwide Program to Support and Enhance Academic Quality in Online Courses”
• Flexible program– Professional development– Establishing faculty associates– Integrating system-wide services
• Ex: Quality Matters, QOLT, Wiley Learning Institute
• $10-20k per grant cycle– Began March 2014– Currently approaching the third grant cycle
![Page 5: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Quality MattersWhat is it?
• From their website:– “…A nationally recognized,
faculty-centered, peer review process designed to certify the quality of online course design and online components”
• Scale– 23,000 faculty &
instructional design staff

Needs Assessment
![Page 12: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Early Successes:Results of Needs Assessment
Combined, 47% were interestedin trying a new teaching medium
![Page 13: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Early Successes:Results of Needs Assessment
Over half of responding faculty use AdobeConnect, a synchronous technology
In contrast, asynchronous tools were rarely used
![Page 14: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Early Successes:Results of Needs Assessment
Among online educators, this is the most popular
(83%)Among online educators: 25%
Among non-online: 61%
![Page 15: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lessons Learned:Crafting QM Certified Courses
![Page 16: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Lessons LearnedPreparing for QM Certification
• What have we learned so far in preparing our courses for QM Certification?– Time
– It (can) take a village
– Reimbursement
– 508 Compliance
![Page 17: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Lessons LearnedPreparing for QM Certification
• Time– Meeting 2x/month
– In 3 months of work • 3/8 of the way through
the rubric
• Note: Course needed substantial content revision, too
![Page 18: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Lessons LearnedPreparing for QM Certification
• It (can) take a village– One course preparation involving
up to 6 people per meeting• Graduate Programs Coordinator• Concentration Lead• Course lead faculty• Campus QA Lead• 2 QM-trained Faculty Members
– Certainly not the case with every review, but has implications for scaling up certifications
![Page 19: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Lessons LearnedPreparing for QM Certification
• Reimbursement– QM-trained faculty assisting with
course reviews reimbursed
– Need mechanisms to fund the faculty member revising the course
– A larger issue in converting classes to online formats in general
![Page 20: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Lessons LearnedPreparing for QM Certification
• 508 Compliance– Another issue commonly raised
in online learning discussions
– Low-hanging fruit• Accessible syllabi• Course templates
– More intensive• Transcription• Scripting
![Page 21: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Lessons Learned:Building a Network
![Page 22: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Lessons LearnedBuilding a Network
• What new issues have been voiced as we expand our network across all 8 Colleges?
– Copyright and intellectual property
– Expertise
– Quality Assurance or Online Expansion
– Sustainability
![Page 23: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Lessons LearnedBuilding a Network
• Copyright and Intellectual Property– Who owns the course
materials created?
– What can a department reasonably ask faculty to share?
![Page 24: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Lessons LearnedBuilding a Network
• Expertise– Intrinsic
challenge of recruiting field experts to academia
– Burden imposed by learning technologies
![Page 25: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Lessons LearnedBuilding a Network
• Quality Assurance or Online Expansion– Not all support the
online education trend
– Creates a balancing act• Want all at the table to
have a voice• Want to ensure uniform
quality assurance
![Page 26: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Lessons LearnedBuilding a Network
• Sustainability– Fluctuations in grant
support – Changes in ideological
direction• Ex: QM versus QOLT
![Page 27: Nik Gorman, MPH, EdD Assessment & Accreditation Coordinator, School of Nursing Marsha Orr, MS, RN Faculty Liaison, Distance Education, School of Nursing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e2d5503460f94b1cb04/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
