eTexts and Digital Resources… Going All In @3X100GLENN MACDOUGAL, Director, Learning and Teaching Services, Algonquin College

LARRY WEATHERDON, Digital Resource Manager, Algonquin College

Algonquin College has embarked on an initiative to ensure that 100% of our

students have access to 100% of their essential resources 100% of the time.

Through institutional level partnerships with major HE publishers, Algonquin has

lowered the overall cost of making essential courses resources available to all

our students by incorporating the cost of the resources within the tuition. This

presentation will demonstrate the end to end processes involved in moving from a

traditional student pay model for the acquisition of print based textbooks towards

an institutional model of deploying eTexts and digital resources across all courses

within a program. The obvious question on “What difference did it make in student

success and retention?” will be answered.


Digital Content and the Future of Course BuildingLORNE OKE, Executive Director, Center for Learning and Innovation, Indiana Wesleyan University

Content Management is critical in the digital age. This interactive session will

examine sources of content, forms of content, and content management and will

distinguish between “writing” a course and “building” a course.


Accelerating Degree Attainment: The Case for Credit for Prior LearningCHRIS JOHNSON, Regional Liaison, American Council on Education (ACE)

INDUSTRY PANELISTS (See Mobile App for Complete Presenter Details)

One in five Americans of working age has some college credit but has not

completed a degree, and yet earning a post-secondary degree or credential

is becoming a prerequisite for the majority of jobs of the new economy.

Nontraditional learners, including returning veterans, who receive credit for

prior learning (CPL ) are more likely to attain a degree than those who do not.

In this interactive panel, discover how credit for prior learning can be a strategy

for accelerating degree completion. Topics include: How institutions successfully

implemented CPL, benefits of CPL for a growing workforce and the impact of CPL

on non-traditional learners.


The Power of Innovation & Collaboration in the 21st CenturyPAULA GANGOPADHYAY, Chief Learning Officer, The Henry Ford

@thehenryfordThe 21st century with its rapidly evolving communication and technological

transformation presents a tremendous opportunity for us all, to innovate, grow,

succeed and contribute to the community at large. How can we ride the perfect

storm and become change agents, reinventing our traditional roles and public

perceptions? How can we create a culture within our organizations where

innovative thinking is encouraged, practiced, awarded and allowed to bloom

beyond our institutional parameters? How can we go beyond our comfort zones to

find the innovator in ourselves? How can we forge atypical collaborations? How can

we think and act like innovators in our everyday life? Paula Gangopadhyay will walk

audiences through different scenarios that explore how to best foster innovation

and collaboration.

OLC Quality Scorecard: Criteria for Excellence in the Administration of Online ProgramsKAYE SHELTON, PH.D., Online Learning Consortium, former Dean of Online Education for Dallas Baptist University

@OLCTodayThe concept of ‘quality’ in online education can be elusive and complex. Nevertheless,

educators continue to seek out ideal learning environments and share effective practices

for advancing quality. Through a collaborative effort of several dozen seasoned online

educators, the 2014 OLC Scorecard continues to advance the field, simplifying the steps

needed to identify, measure and quantify elements of quality within an online education

program. Participants will learn how to apply Quality Scorecard metrics, uncover and

evaluate quality indicators in key categories, and consider thoughtful recommendations

for implementation.

CONTRIBUTOR: REBECCA JONES, Senior Director, Argosy University

CONTRIBUTOR: STEVEN KLINGER, Vice Chancellor, Argosy University

By enabling students to master skills at their own pace, competency-based learning

programs help to save students both time and money while powering Institutions

with flexibility and student-level insights to improve courses continuously.

Depending on the strategy pursued, competency-based programs create

multiple pathways to graduation, make better use of technology, support new

staffing patterns that utilize teacher skills and interests differently, take advantage

of learning opportunities outside of school hours and walls, and help identify

opportunities to target interventions to meet the specific learning needs of

students. Each of these presents an opportunity to achieve greater efficiency and

increased productivity.

MODERATOR: GERRY DIGUISTO, Ph.D., Director, Pearson Higher Education Services

Understanding and selecting degree programs to take online is only the first step

in the process of delivering successful online programs. The change management

that’s necessary to deliver and sustain online programs successfully affects

the entire institution from faculty, admissions, financial aid, registrar and other

departments. Institutions that have traditionally resisted change are being asked to

transform themselves in unprecedented ways. Many college and university leaders

are beginning to take bold steps to meet the new reality. In this panel, you will hear

from institutional leaders who will provide practical insights and recommendations

on how to handle the change management required for an institution to offer

competitive online offerings.

App-tivities: Mobile Learning in the 21st CenturyCARI JIMENEZ, Online Lecturer, University of Florida

As educators, research show us the importance of “Exposure, Repetition and

Practice” for the learning process. We strive to create learning ecosystems where

the student can interact in a meaningful way with the course content. However,

often we are faced with the spatial and time constraints of our postindustrial

globalized world that prevents our students to access, connect and engage with

it. The challenge then is to create new possibilities and opportunities that enable

students to participate in a new learning environment where learning is not

compartmentalized to rigid time, and space boundaries but rather is open-ended,

active, ‘just in time’, flexible, autonomous and ubiquitous at the same time that

it maintains a high level of academic quality (rigor, integrity and scholarship).

Virtual Teamwork: Using Teams in Online CoursesVIRGINIA HARDING, Adjunct Professor, John Marshall Law School - Chicago

Having students work in teams is not the usual model found in legal education but

it is one that helps students develop the critical skill of collaboration and the ability

to complete transactions involving a number of parties who are often located

elsewhere. Both presenters started to use teams when teaching courses in a

classroom setting. When they were asked to develop the Leasing course that they

had been teaching in a classroom, they decided to have their online students work

in teams as well. This presentation will cover how they incorporated teams into

their online class.

“What we have is a failure to communicate” Attacking New Economy Skills Gaps with Open BadgesDISTINGUISHED SPEAKER SERIES

PETER JANZOW, Senior Director, Open Badges Lead, Pearson Acclaim

@pjanzow When badges are used to represent classroom and extracurricular

learning outcomes, graduating students can more easily connect their

college experience to employer needs. Employers can more easily identify

specific in-demand skills in candidates, and colleges and universities have

a tool that simplifies communication and planning around curricula and

skills gaps. In this session, attendees will see how collaborative “trust networks”

are beginning to emerge in higher education, engaging colleges, learners

and employers, and centered around the common language of learning

credentials in the form of web-enabled badges.
