SUNY Broome Community College is at the forefront of community colleges implementing new technologies that support and scale-up pedagogy. Our leadership in online education is attested by our selection to offer one of the first fully-online degree programs to be powered by Open SUNY as well as our selection to develop a model Home Health Aide Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) with prior IITG funding. As a continuation of the newly developed Home Health Aide MOOC (Phase 1), SUNY Broome proposes to develop a format of the Phase 1 MOOC that is compatible with Coursera’s new on-demand platform. Also integral to Phase 2 are (1) creating a companion Open Educational Resource (OER)/Open Textbook; and (2) building and implementing bookend recruitment and referral web resources that connect with regional workforce structures. Phase 2 key collaborators include Central New York’s Area Health Education Center, Mohawk Valley Community College, and the Open SUNY Textbooks project.
