NROC ValueWhere we’ve come from, where we want to go… • Balancing creative tension… • sustaining the network • providing open education resources • adding new courses • increasing inter-institutional collaborations
What’s on members’ agenda: Access, Content and Collaboration • WANTED: • increased usage • meta-data basics for LOR’s • CMS user groups • transitional courses • textbook alternatives (open), • accessibility requirements (CAST, priority 1) COURSE DEVELOPMENT - specify • Rules of engagement for organizations • Expectations of course quality • Project management
Subjects: Basic Math and English English Lit & Comp World Languages Vocational, Career Tech Chemistry Transitional courses Features: Meta data - establish NROC set Map to 21st Century Skills Consider “At Risk” students Content Needs… Big Ideas: - Set Up “course swap” process between members - (State)ROC - each member state/agency has its own custom view into NROC, allows state customization, swapping
Membership Conference Planning Ideas: Gather leaders, teachers (2-3/member per org) Course swap meets Share NROC experiences Networking Hands-on course modification, development Course and CMS groups Member presentations in NROC context - teaching online, - using web 2.0 tools HS-College collaborations Timing: Early Fall 2008 Tack-on to another conference No perfect meeting match/HS+College Members to help plan • Additional suggestions… • Monthly Member/Advisor web meetings • members submit requests for agenda • 1st on course swapping • prof dev about teach online with NROC • Spring Advisor meeting in California • Conference member gatherings
