This presentation is about rolling out Tegrity successfully on campus. Since we are early in this process, I thought it would be good to attend.
The first member of the group spoke of program implementation in a nursing program. She noted that the faculty were very old school and implementing technology resulted in panic for eventual people. Since they did it program wide, everyone had to be on board with doing it. They addressed this by having someone with them when they recorded for the first time. the department decided to record every single class. Students have grown very dependent on it- they love it.
They noted two kinds of recordings. One is the typical lecture, but the other is skill sets- how to start an IV, etc. these sessions were done with a camera and are carried forward from quarter to quarter. Students review it before the lesson, then practice it in the lab and then they can watch again later. They have seen greatly improved outcomes in the student clinical experience. Enabled students on maternity leave to persist.
Learning areas - they had to learn how to be effective with the microphone- for example when they go to the bathroom. Another thing was knowing to repeat the questions asked by students do that when students watched, they knew the questions being answered.
For the skill sets, the IT folks added giant hdtv sets so that students in the classroom could get a really close up views. They used a video camera operated by a fellow faculty member.
In the college of education, they had an expectation for online faculty to have at least 1 Tegrity recording, generally the course introduction. They also had the faculty share best practices with each other in small groups. Also having students use Tegrity recordings for eportfolios and job applications.
Goal to use for all campus open meetings.
