  5. The Challenge Address the shortages in laboratory personnel in California partially due to: • Recent changes in laboratory healthcare workforce • Licensing requirements for CLS • Decrease in CSU undergraduate course offerings

  6. One Solution • Work with other university campuses to offer a license required hematology course • Deliver the course via distance technologies

  7. Student Population Course offered 5 semesters: • 265 students total • 144 students were distant (54%) • Undergraduate students from 10 CSU and UC campuses • Numerous graduates from many campuses who needed the course for entry into a CLS postgraduate internship program

  8. Potential Obstacles for Multicampus Course Participation • Enrollment issues • Examinations • Laboratory offerings • Faculty/Student interactions

  9. Enrollment Process • Resident campus enrollment at CSU Sacramento • CSU Intrasystem Concurrent Enrollment • California State University, Sacramento’s Open University, through the College of Continuing Education

  10. Examinations • Two midterms are given at CSU Sacramento, CSU Stanislaus and San Diego State University. • Faculty on other campuses proctor exams for distance students in their region. • Final written and morphology exams are given to all students at CSU Sacramento, CSU Stanislaus and SDSU campuses.

  11. Laboratory Offerings • Preparatory lab information and morphology are presented during lecture and in WebCT. • An 8-hour “wet” laboratory is offered on either Sat or Sun twice during the semester. • Labs are offered on both CSU Sacramento and SDSU campuses for all students.

  12. Faculty-Student Interactions • In-class meetings • Studio classroom • Two-way videoconferencing • Telephone • Outside class • E-mail • WebCT mail

  13. Technologies Used for Delivery of Content • Video streaming • Videoconferencing • WebCT • E-mail

  19. Evaluation Instruments • Flashlight DDE Student Survey • Biological Sciences Student Evaluation of Faculty Evaluation

  20. Evaluation Results • On-campus overall course rating was 9.03 out of a 10.0 scale • Off-campus overall course rating was 9.00 out of a 10.0 scale • Similar results in past semesters • Negative comments were regarding problems with the video stream dependability • Occasional comment requesting more laboratory time
