  1. The Role of Incentives in Facilitating the Integration of  an Online Learning System into Pedagogical Practices: A Human  Performance Technology Perspective Jing Lei, Ph.D. Syracuse University Blaine Morrow Palomar College

  2. “Technology Puzzle” • “Why is greater access not translating into better classroom use?”

  3. Teachers’ tech use as a human performance issue Causes of Performance Deficiency Harless (1970);Mager and Pipe (1984); Rossett (1987); Knowledge and Skills Deficiencies Environmental barriers Incentive Barriers Motivational issues

  7. Previous work that addresses teacher technology adoption from these angles • Skills Knowledge Deficiencies • Professional development, PT3, tech standards for teachers • Environmental Barriers • Conditions for teacher tech use: access (hardware, software, connection), tech support, • Motivation • Computer anxiety, “Luddites” • Incentive Barrier

  8. This study • The role of incentives in promoting technology integration among faculty • CCC Confer • MEET • Modeling (The act or art of sculpturing or forming in a pliable material) • Effective (Producing a strong impression or response; striking) • Educational (Serving to educate; instructive) • Technology (in this case,e-Conferencing via CCC Confer)

  9. California Community Colleges 2.5 million students 50,000 + faculty 72 districts, 109 campuses 58.4 million square feet 4,629 buildings 20,489 acres of land

  10. A System of Extremes Feather River CCD – Enrollment: 1,472 Lassen CCD – Enrollment: 2,100 Copper Mountain CCD – Enrollment: 2,250 San Francisco CCD – Enrollment: 100,000 Los Angeles CCD – Enrollment: 112,241 San Diego CCD – Enrollment: 128,000

  11. CCC Confer: the e-Conferencing Project • Five-year, $11.5 million grant from CCCCO awarded to Palomar College in 2001 • Goal: “establish a system-wide infrastructure to facilitate collaboration utilizing e-conferencing technology.”

  20. What is MEET? • Modeling (The act or art of sculpturing or forming in a pliable material) • Effective (Producing a strong impression or response; striking) • Educational (Serving to educate; instructive) • Technology (in this case,e-Conferencing via CCC Confer)

  21. What is MEET? • An initiative from CCC Confer • 20 Grants @$2000 each • Aimed at instruction using e-conferencing technology • Grant Period: 12/04 – 12/05 • An educational technology users’ group

  22. Methods • Participants • Data collection • Survey • Interview

  23. ResultsThe quantity of Usage

  24. Results • The quality and variety of usage • Presenting content online • Office hours • Online Tutoring • Class management • Pedagogical experiment • Further dissemination of the technology • Formal teaching • Informal conversation • Publications

  25. Table 1: MEET Grant as an Incentive Promoting the use of CCC Confer Technologies as Instructional Tools

  26. What Worked • Initial Training Retreat • Building a community: supporting and learning from each other • Strong Leadership • Timely technology support

  27. MEET Retreat

  28. MEET YahooGroup

  29. What needs improvement • More critical peer feedback • Stronger collaboration • More frequent communication

  30. Conclusions • Incentives are necessary to facilitate teacher technology integration • Contextual factors matter • Importance of ongoing support from peers and experts
