  1. Redesigning Concurrent Enrollment with Hybrid Courses The Utah TICE Project Chuck Wight Dean of the Graduate School University of Utah

  2. Brief History of the TICE Project • Overall Project Goals • TICE Video for MATH 1030 • What Do We Do Now? • Hybrid Design • Backwards Design • Course Demos • Rollout • Questions Outline

  3. March 2011 – Utah State Legislature appropriates $2.5 M for development of 6 technology-intensive concurrent enrollment (TICE) courses • May 2011 – Decision to create hybrid courses that satisfy General Education requirements at Utah colleges • June 2011 – 6 teams of faculty and high school teachers start course development activities • January 2012 – Demo sites for 2 courses shared publicly at http://www.uen.org/concurrent • Fall 2012 – Pilot course offerings • Spring 2013 – Full course rollout History

  4. Increase access to concurrent enrollment courses by creating high-quality open course materials • Increase college preparation by keeping students engaged in courses during the senior year of high school • Focus attention on satisfying General Education requirements for bachelors and associates degrees • Ensure high quality through assessment of core learning outcomes • Strengthen the extensive course articulation and transfer system that exists in Utah higher education Project Goals

  5. ART 1010 – Intro to Visual Arts • CHEM 1110 – Intro to Chemistry • ENGL 1010 – Intro to Writing • MATH 1010 – Intermediate Algebra • MATH 1030 – Mathematical Decision-Making • PSY 1010 – Intro to Psychology • All course materials are made available to Utah colleges and high schools through the Instructure Canvas LMS The Courses

  6. Keep students engaged in math through the senior year of high school (after fulfilling HS graduation requirements) • Provide an opportunity for students headed to non-technical degrees to satisfy General Education math requirements while still in high school • Teach mathematical decision-making skills for life MATH 1030 Goals

  7. MATH 1030 Video http://www.uen.org/concurrent/math1030.shtml

  8. Hybrid Course Design Process • Define the expected learning outcomes for the course • Design the assessments for core outcomes • Decide how course activities will be divided • In-class activities • Online activities • Assemble online course materials in the LMS • Provide professional development training for instructors What Do We Do Now?

  9. Expected Learning Outcomes Assessments Learning Activities Resources Backward Course Design

  10. In-Class Online Hybrid Design Hybrid

  11. Hybrid Design

  12. Author: Samantha Penney, samantha.penney@gmail.com New Bloom’s Taxonomy

  13. Quizzes, homework exercises and other drills encourage repeated intermittent engagement with knowledge resources. Online Learning Tools

  14. Peer instruction encourages students to reinforce learning by teaching others. Peer Instruction

  15. Which One ? Lecture Video Textbook Avoid Redundancy

  16. Teach Critical Thinking Skills • Solve Problems • Discuss Contemporary Applications • Group Activities • Encourage Student Questions • Lecture on Particularly Difficult Topics • Administer Assessments Use Class Time Wisely

  17. Standardized for each course • Standardized rubrics communicate how scoring works • Possible Outcomes • Exceeded Expectations • Met Expectations • Did Not Meet Expectations • Assessment data will be aggregated and made public TICE Core Assessments

  18. What is the name of this piece? Who was the artist? What building houses this piece? Please name the city and country associated with this piece. Who was the patron? When was it made? What is it made of? Which artistic movement is this piece associated with? ART 1010 Assessment

  19. www.uen.org/concurrent has much more information on each course, including team members, desired outcomes, syllabi, etc. • UEN currently has links to copies of three courses: ENGL 1010, ART 1010 and MATH 1030. Demo Courses

  20. In public high schools, districts pay the cost of instructional materials (e.g., textbooks) • For TICE courses, it is important to use open education materials to reduce or eliminate costs to students Open Education

  21. ART 1010 – Mashup using SmartHistory videos from the Khan Academy • CHEM 1110 – Original research-based instructional materials and quizzes • ENGL 1010 – Textbook with readings plus Mashupusing videos and readings from many sources • MATH 1010 – NROC Math OER materials • MATH 1030 – Original video tutorials • PSY 1010 – Textbook plus original lesson plans, media, and a compendium of web-resources Open Education

  22. Pilot 3-4 sections of each course in Fall 2012 • Increase size substantially by Spring 2013 • Process will be very similar to existing concurrent enrollment – high schools will partner/contract with concurrent directors at each higher ed institution. Roll Out
