  1. 2010-2011 Final Report Don W. Brown, Lane ESD Survey date: April 2011

  2. Expand Course Offerings • Improve Student Retention • Increase Options for Non- Traditional Students • Establish Effective Regional Oversight • Support Utilization of 21st Century Learning Tools

  3. Vendors • AP Vendors: Aventa, FLVS, Apex • Standard: Aventa, FLVS, Apex, e2020 • CR: Aventa, Apex, e2020 • Web-Enhanced teaching: Moodle • Full time online: (none)

  4. Course Factors and Content • Our Teachers: 62% “important” • Inexpensive: 68% “important” • Complete Courses: 69% “important” • Interactive: 69% “important” • Highest Need Courses: Math, Health, English

  5. Professional Development • Order of rating • Helping Teachers Use Online Services • Develop clear District SOPs and policy • Mentoring Online Courses • Helping students gain knowledge of plagiarism and cyber-bullying issues • Not selected as much: Administrator training for online learning, Technology Infrastructure Improvements (but last was rated highest using only “greatest need”)

  6. Factoids • Moodle use based on teacher interest… • 67% looking for TAG resources • Selected comments: • I don’t see teachers wanting to make time to incorporate online modules/resources to existing curriculum…but that would help in redesigning high schools…how do we move that direction? • Aventa not engaging enough for CR students…they are harder than the courses the students failed… • Graduation requirements, alternative assessments not in survey comments, but emerging as issues

  7. System Profile Never Engaged – 18% CR 57%

  8. Blachly Profile, N=20 Never Engaged – 0 CR 35%

  9. CAL Profile, N=48 Never Engaged – 8 CR 12%

  17. Springfield Profile, N=53 Never Engaged – 11 CR 8% Science Explorations - 7

  18. Data Bits • 14 students continued in summer, most did complete. • 31% of students received an A or B grade. • CR varied from 0% (Creswell, JC, Mapleton, South Lane, and McKenzie) to 75% (Eugene) • Starting late was highly associated with lowest rates of success. • Having a class period for an online course was highly associated with passing the course

  19. Best Practices • Student Presence: every day class period. • Student Mentoring: meet every day, at least once a week with a face-to-face discussion about progress, trained mentor • Staff training: Commercial training is not enough… • Administrator tracking: ESD weekly reports, Aventa Mentor reports forwarded as well (track differently) • Tech Support at District: most issues were local

  20. Professional Development • LCC offered training to College Now teachers in online courses and with F2F meetings • 20+ Teachers have courses under development in the Online Options Moodle. • Lane ESD’s Enrichment courses: blocked by local technology in one building, in all cases it took administrative commitment, student focus group for developing SciEx-MS • Attendance at Moodle Monday and Tech Tuesday fell off dramatically after a few good sessions – may need “smorgasbord” of F2F, webinars and helpline.

  21. The Path Ahead • Currently have more CR, with 2 districts opting out • Possibility of expanding to other ESDs or spin off • Introduction to UO’s Mandarin Chinese course with Yong Zhao has been mixed • TAG services are getting traction, students want to build and learn in Moodle, are motivated by webinars
