Technology Enhancements Hybrid courses 40 technology enhanced classrooms 9 computer labs 3 high-definition video conferencing rooms OSU Wireless in every campus building Other instructional technologies Local Carmen support Clickers • A hybrid course model has been adopted to deliver courses using a blend of face-to-face and distance delivery methods. This model meets the needs and desires of multiple audiences: traditional-aged college student that like the social aspects of coming to class and non-traditional students that like the flexibility of having to come to campus for a specific class only once a week. (3 delivered, 2 more being developed and 2 others in early design stages). • These hybrid courses offer more flexibility and opportunity for mastery to the leaner because the content is available 24/7. They can also offer potential benefits to the institution by freeing up classroom space and allowing higher course enrollments. • 40 of our classrooms are technology enhanced with a well-equipped instructor’s podium that includes a computer, DVD/VCR, and document camera all connected to a ceiling mounted projector for video output and amplified ceiling mounted speakers for audio output. Everything in the system is controlled from an easy to use control panel on the podium’s desktop. • We have 9 computer labs on campus: 3 Mac, 6 PC • 3 high-def video conferencing rooms that allows for high picture quality for distance learning efforts. • The wireless is exactly the same as the wireless on the Columbus campus and is seamless to any OSU user. There are outdoor areas (i.e. patios and the oval between Ovalwood, Conard, and Eisenhower that have wireless access). • Support for all eLearning ventures is provided by our campus’ own instructional technologist. This includes Carmen support and the hybrid course development. • We have 150 audience response units available for faculty use. 5 faculty regularly use them and we have a newly published study performed on our campus that illustrates their impact.
