The Future...Where are we going?
Objective: Growth and expansion, to serve the entire spectrum and continuum of SUNY online needs including web enhancedand hybrid courses. Shift to fee for services model, shift from faculty and course-centered program to community-centeredsupport & services.

!SLN’s 5 keyelements
What I have learnedfrom working with over3000 SUNY faculty,from 30+ SUNYinstitutions, andthousands of studentssince 1994.
Models: Rapid Scale: This required that we develop consistently appliedand thoughtful faculty development and course design processes.
Support: Large numbers: Successful online courses have effectivedesigns and effective/prepared instructors. = Instructional designers, HD,templates.
Approaches: Our philosophy: Technology in the service of pedagogy.
Evaluation: Program evaluation and continuous improvements: Iterate!Best practices: what is working, why, what needs to be improved?
Quality: Requires a comprehensive approach to training, support,resources, best practices, exemplars, community of practice,template/standards, formal course review/rubric.

Create/use activities that build a sense of classcommunity.
Develop your online voice. Think “literal” and “talk” don’t “write.” First make it work, then make it pretty. 50 ways to leave your lecture. Align objectives, activities and assessments. Create
rubrics! Ask for student feedback. Use it! If you make them do it, you must assess it. Design activities that allow students to make their
thinking visible to you.
You are NOT
recreating your
classroom online.
You are
reconceptualizing
and converting your
materials, content,
and learning
objectives to a new
learning
environment

What Works? It is about creating teaching and learning
opportunities and environments where students caninteract with students AND where students caninteract with faculty.
Create a virtual community. Shift to student-centered andragogy. Technology-enhanced teaching and
learning.The highest predictor of student satisfaction andreported learning is student/teacher interaction.Second is student to student interaction.

It is important that faculty create and communicate tothe student a reasonable set of expectations for thelevel and kinds of interactions in an online course.
explicitly set expectations for interactionsand completion of all learning activities.
What’s due, when?

Since student to student interaction is such a significantfactor in student satisfaction, any opportunities created ina course that involve collaboration to construct knowledgeis an important component of an online learningenvironment.
Interaction (discussion). Small group activities/projects. Peer evaluation, reflection, feedback

Computer skill or sophistication should not be a barrier totechnology-enhanced online teaching and learning.
Keep it simple. Vanilla! Provide templates and examples.
