6. OEI Consortium Basis for the course exchange
Currently, only 24 “pilot colleges” are part of the Consortium
Consortium agreement provides legal mechanism for Financial Aid, etc.
Requires action by the Board to join Consortium

7. Two ways to participate: “Home College” and/or “Teaching College”
OEI Course Exchange
Two ways to participate: “Home College” and/or “Teaching College”

8. “Home Colleges” Student has residency, but the college:
May not offer all courses needed for a specific degree
May offer courses, but they’re impacted
Student tries to get the course at the Home College, but can’t – so is transferred to the Exchange to find a section at a Teaching College.
Home college gets credit for degree completion or transfer achievement

9. “Teaching collegeS”
Offer specific, fully online course sections on the exchange
If seats are available in those sections, students from other colleges enroll seamlessly into them
Teaching college gets apportionment for enrollments

10. Course Exchange: The “MOVING Parts”

11. Course exchange Timeline
3 of 8 “full launch” pilot colleges live now
Remaining 5 “full launch” pilot colleges live this semester
Fall 17:
Remaining 16 pilot colleges target date
Initial round of financial aid automation
Expanded list of eligible courses for Exchange

12. But We’re not in the pilot!
Existing Consortium members (pilot colleges) are “working out the bugs” for expansion
Operating rules
Member responsibilities
Reciprocity agreements
Solicitations of interest – likely later this year
Need to see all the pieces in place – technology, courses, implementation team, etc.
Earliest opportunity to participate: Spring 2018

13. Minimum Participation Requirements
College must use Canvas and single sign-on
College must join Consortium and honor reciprocity agreements
Course must have been offered at least once previously in Canvas
Course must be submitted to and accepted by the OEI Exchange . . .

14. Exchange COurses Not all courses will be allowed in the exchange
Courses on the list chosen based on:
C-ID approval
Inclusion in AAT/AST degrees
Student demand data
Course fulfillment of transfer area requirements
Specific sections included in the exchange need to be vetted and approved

15. Submitting a Course for Review
Each college develops their own process for selecting and identifying courses they want to offer in the Exchange.
Faculty and course are submitted together as one unit
Each faculty teaches course differently
Protects individual faculty’s work and intellectual property

16. Requesting Course Review
Ensure the course is eligible
Currently that means part of 24 pilot schools
On C-ID
Fully online in Canvas
Attend an online OEI Welcome Meeting
Submit a Self-Check Rubric
Submit a full copy of the course being reviewed (shell with no student data).

17. Course Review Process Two Peer Reviewers (Simultaneously)
Accessibility Specialist Review
One Lead Reviewer
Norms and combines reviews
Acts as tie breaker

18. Aligning Course Conference call – Develop a plan
faculty,
peer reviewers,
lead reviewer
OEI Canvas course design specialist
Faculty has access to instructional design team throughout process
Once faculty and design team determine alignment with OEI rubric - course is entered into Exchange.
