QEP的标题是 更多, 代表的是 Maximizing O在线 Readiness和 Excellence.

更多的 是为了提高学生在线课程的成功率而创建的吗. It will ensure that 在线 学生 have every opportunity to be just as successful as 学生 taking face-to-face classes. 

As the college prepares for the upcoming Southern Association of Colleges and Schools 委员会 on Colleges (SACSCOC) reaccreditation in Fall 2019, 迪士尼彩票乐园app已将更多的发展成为我们质量提升计划(QEP)的主要重点。. 

引入更多 


The goal of 更多的 is to “increase student success in targeted 在线 gateway courses” by:

  • 推行强制性学生预备课程(虚拟的背包) to prepare 学生 for 在线 learning.
  • Implementing an O在线 Faculty 学习 Community (OFLC) to prepare 教师 for 在线 teaching.

为什么会有更多?

根据SACSCOC, 我们的机构应该有一个QEP，“(a)有一个通过其持续发展确定的主题, comprehensive planning and evaluation processes; (b) has broad-based support of institutional constituencies; (c) focuses on improving specific student learning outcomes and/or student success; (d) commits resources to initiate, 实现, and complete the QEP; and (e) includes a plan to assess achievement” (QEP Standard 7.2).

近年来, the percentage of 学生 enrolled in at least one 在线 course at 迪士尼彩票乐园app has steadily increased. 目前, over a third of 迪士尼彩票乐园app’s academic 学生 take at least one fully 在线 class each semester. While 在线 enrollment has increased, 在线学生的成功率落后于地面学生.

矿渣迪士尼彩票乐园app的学生, 教师, 教职工也在全校范围的调查中表示, 焦点小组, and listening sessions, that 迪士尼彩票乐园app should address student readiness, 教师发展, and improving student services for 在线 学生.

QEP为学院提供了一个审查项目和服务的机会, identify an area that can be enhanced, 并投入时间和资源来制定改进计划. 供参考，SACS provides summaries of past QEP initiatives.

虚拟背包

How does this meet the needs of 学生?
  • 虚拟背包 is a free, non-credit earning course that 迪士尼彩票乐园app created based on responses from student surveys about 在线 education at the college.
  • 它的设计兼顾了这两方面 帮助你做好准备 to take an 在线 course by giving you better expectations about what that experience is like and also to 帮你决定 an 在线 class is a good option for you by providing clear expectations about what will be required from you as a student.
  • 它的完成速度也很快，平均完成时间为1小时.5至3小时.

谁来拿?

You only need to take it if:

  2. 你还没有以C或C以上成绩完成在线课程
Anyone who has already completed an 在线 course with a C or above will be exempted from the Virtual Backpack course. You only have to take the Virtual Backpack course if you want to enroll in an 在线 class, so if you only plan on taking on campus, 虚拟, 或者混合课程，你不需要完成课程.

Important Things To Know 关于 更多的 

Six Targeted O在线 Gateway Courses

我们已经向你们介绍了M.O.R.E. 计划，但其他两个干预措施只适用于六个有针对性的在线门户课程. The QEP is intended to be a narrowly focused project designed to serve as a template for college-wide changes. Focusing on six courses enables us to pilot these enhancements to see what is successful and whether it should be expanded more broadly. 学生将遇到这些变化的六门课程是:

·       AHS 102 – Medical Terminology

·       ART 101 – Art History and Appreciation

·       BUS 101 – Introduction to 业务

·       ENG 101 – English Composition I

·       MAT 101 – Beginning Algebra

·       PSY 201 – General Psychology

这六门课程之所以被选为QEP课程，是因为许多学生在网上学习这些课程, 学生们倾向于在大学生涯的早期参加这些课程, 此外，有必要提高学生在在线课程中的成绩.

在线教师学习社区和加强学生服务

在我们上次更新中提到的六门课程中, 学院正在投资于两项主要干预措施，我们希望这将使学生受益. The first is that 教师 teaching 在线 sections of those six courses will be going through a training program called an O在线 Faculty 学习 Community. Faculty within this program will be able to study best practices in 在线 education and benefit from each other’s experiences in teaching 在线. Faculty will go through this training in the fall semesters so that they can 实现 what they learn in their classes starting in Spring 2020.

The second major intervention the college is piloting is enhancing the student support services available to 在线 学生. As part of this effort, 该学院计划扩大在线辅导并免费提供, 24小时为学生提供针对性课程的辅导. 另外, 在线 学生 will be part of a piloted effort to offer “虚拟” advising and also improved communication between 教师 and advisers to help 学生 stay on a path to success. 最后, library staff will also be working with 教师 members to develop electronic library guides tailored to 在线 learning in general and also guides specific to 在线 学生 in those six classes.
