Presentation on April 3. 2014
SUNY has been a pioneer and leader in online education for over 20 years, and this success has been made possible by a vibrant community of researchers, instructional designers, librarians, technologists, and online educators. To build on this strong foundation, SUNY has launched the Open SUNY Center for Online Teaching Excellence, which celebrates, connects, and nurtures effective online education practitioners across the SUNY system while furthering our knowledge of the most effective teaching and learning practices in online education.
Outcomes: Learn how we leverage our “SUNY systemness” and partner with our campuses to engage and connect the community of online education experts across the vast 64-campus SUNY system * Scale distinctive and comprehensive development opportunities to faculty directly and in conjunction with their home campuses * Support faculty with resources needed for course development and enhancement in conjunction with their home campuses * Encourage scholarship in online teaching and learning practices to meet the needs of today’s diverse learners and pursue research-driven innovations that increase online teaching and learning effectiveness.

Martha:MCC – new student orientation in angel with Erin Maney, collaboration with student services and instructional technologies to provide one space online for new student resources. Currently specific to new to the college aka freshman and transfer students. Contents currently support the material that is presented during the face to face on campus new student orientation.

Pam: upstate medical – librarian faculty built tutorials for undergrad and grad-level research in Nursing courses.

We’ve connected their Moodle system to our Mahara system, so that students and faculty can single sign-on through their Moodle to access Mahara ePortfolios on our campus. Single click transfer of learning artifacts from the LMS into ePortfolios for creating portfolios. hosting eportfolios for other campuses, including Empire State. Presentations planned for CIT and STC. Let us know if your campus would like to try out ePortfolios. (Also, I’d second the comment from Maureen at Orange about embedding librarians in the online courses, we do that with our online and face to face courses as well.)
Ellen Marie: ESC FACT2 eportfolio task group – several subgroups set up to look at different aspects of ePortfolio use: At SUNY (what is the current status of ePortfolio use across the system and what needs to be done to promote use of ePortfolios to support student learning).

huge question … Some small suggestions:
This NGLC-funded project uses a number of technical interventions and approaches to support at-risk student success. The “SUNY Blend” includes a blended program, student commons staffed by concierges, a focus on developing student self-regulated learning skills, and more.
The SUNY Blend project is about student success, persistence and completion in a powerful context – to address the issue of poverty in NYS’s disadvantaged youth population. How do we support persistence, success, and completion in our at-risk community college students so they can get a degree, a higher paying job and exit poverty?
The barriers and issues faced by our at-risk student populations are many. Many struggle with competing life priorities. They work or have children and may be single parents or have multiple jobs. They enter college needing developmental courses.
Their sense of self-efficacy in their ability to succeed is low. The costs of books are a financial burden. Many first generation college students may not know how to avail themselves of the support that is available. They may feel isolated and loose their sense of community for support in a college campus setting, which would be magnified in an online learning environment. This presentation will provide an overview of this project and share approaches and resources developed that can be adopted/adapted to support Blended Online Student Success.
