Written by CEN-PICKETAL on . Posted in research/reports.

This report provides an update on Open SUNY COTE activities through April 2015.

GENERAL

Initiatives

  • Migration is an ongoing commitment and effort. 2012-2017 provided at no cost to SLN campuses migrating from ANGEL.
    • 20 campuses have completed their migration, or will within the next year.
    • 80% of the total courses that need to migrate to Bb from the 29 campuses have already done so.
    • Only 9 campuses remain (exclusively on ANGEL). (Most of these campuses yet to migrate are small, i.e., Clinton, Adirondack, Schenectady, Fulton-Montgomery).
  • Open SUNY COTE staff is assisting with some instructional design needs at the CPD for certificate programs.
  • Open SUNY Metrics work groups have been convened to determine what and how to collect data to measure usage, impact and effectiveness of our supports, resources, services and initiatives across Open SUNY. Faculty Supports: COTE primarily. Campus Volunteers: Tony Guzman – UB, Kathleen Stone – ESC, Rich McElrath – Sullivan, Larry Dugan – MCC, Christine Kroll – UB, Michelle Rogers-Estable – Delhi, Molly Mott – Canton, Kathleen Gradel – Fredonia, Phillip Ortiz – ESC, SUNY Provost Fellow, Peter Shea – UAlbany, Ken O’Brian – Brockport, Chair of POSAC, Anita Bleffert-Schmidt – Ulster. And COTE staff.
  • Working Badging Design Group – we are in the process of designing a comprehensive Badging System in conjunction with our Online Competency Development program that will recognize participation, achievement, engagement, and the attainment of skills. We are using the Credly platform. Campus members: Chris Price – Brockport/CPD, Kelsey O’Brien – UA, Anne Reed – UP, Jeremiah Grobowski – UB, Jim Lynch – MVCC. Some input from Tera Doty-Blace – Broome and Linda Ryder – HVCC. Also includes various COTE and CPD staff.

Open SUNY COTE Pillars:

  • Fundamentals PD for those in the interested role: working on an “Are you ready inventory?” for faculty interested in teaching online.
  • Working on collecting online courses for observation for those in the New 2 Online (N2OL) role.

 

 

  • Course Supports
    • The Open SUNY COTE Quality review (OSCQR) process has been designed for implementation with Wave 2 campuses.
    • The OSCQR rubric has been designed: This interactive tool provides a workflow framework for the course review team and is designed to facilitate the online course review process and produce an action plan for online course refresh, includes a dashboard, annotations, activations, aggregation of scores and action plans. 15 of the 19 campuses with Wave 1 and 2 programs have decided to adopt the OSCQR rubric (in part or in whole) for their use. We expect that number to reach 17 over the next few weeks. http://online.suny.edu/onlineteaching/course-supports/oscqr-rubric/
    • OSCQR training and documentation has been developed and we are piloting with a faculty focused version with selected non Wave 2 campuses
    • COTE is now mapping Course Supports and Competency Development processes to Middle State Guidelines for the Evaluation of Distance Education Programs to help campuses report these related activities to Middle States or other accrediting bodies.
