Let none waste time in deploring the scantiness of their visible
resources. The outward appearance may be unpromising, but energy and trust in God will develop resources. The gift brought to Him with thanksgiving and with prayer for His blessing, He will multiply as He multiplied the food given to the sons of the prophets and to the weary multitude. –PK p. 243 The strategy conversation can be challenging and intimidating

Checking Prior Knowledge
What are your thoughts regarding AUA’s online learning strategy? Successes so far? Concerns?
5
Audience and Delivery Implications
Delivery Considerations Standards and Quality Assurance Supporting Faculty Student Services
6
Strategy is a journey
7
Audience & Delivery Implications
Why do your students choose online? Where are your students physically located? How far do they travel to visit campus? What time zones are they in? What kind of Internet connection do they have? Are they working? What are their typical work schedules? What does this mean for teaching and support services?

Delivery Considerations
What learning experiences should be: Asynchronous online Synchronous / live videoconference On campus What are some barriers students have to attending live? Why might students want a live class session? What learning outcomes need live interaction? Some reasons for live: A sense of community Human connection Networking Quality Q & A

Possible live or in person Online
Presentations by students Consultation/conference Discussion boards Field trips Group activities: read/write/project Simulation / active learning Lecture Multimedia Orientations Presentations / guest speakers Assessments / exams Assignments Case Analysis Clinical Field Application Instructive Feedback Multimedia Discussion Boards Papers, Essays, Reflective Journals, Research Portfolios Simulations Quizzes, Self Assessment Library work Tutorials Each of these can be online or in class Note that some are in both – difference is how much you show up/engage DURING

Reviewing the Review Process
Matrix of Quality Matters standards to our standards – noting the differences in values Much heavier emphasis on the learner engagement than QM has University assessment focusing on the alignment concepts of QM – starting to figure out how we would address that in the online course development process QM is about course design only; we wanted to include the teaching/delivery as well Faith integration The course overview navigation (QM standard 1) reworking to a checklist that all online courses will have before they launch each semester (we’ll see if that is doable!)

Every teacher should see to it that his work tends to definite results
Every teacher should see to it that his work tends to definite results. Before attempting to teach a subject, he should have a distinct plan in mind, and should know just what he desires to accomplish. -ED p. 233
