Mission:
Online Learning provides student, faculty, and staff support for online learning needs including
Blackboard and related tools used for teaching online. We foster the development of quality online and hybrid courses, while encouraging the use of online learning technology in face-to-face classes. Online
Learning offers a way to meet the changing needs of the students in the community, by providing flexible learning options and access to education.
Vision:
Online Learning Support offers student, faculty, and staff support for online learning and teaching in all
Chabot Courses and is committed to encourage and assist the learning and instructional goals of the college.
Responsibilities:

Online Teaching/Blackboard Faculty Support

Tools used for online teaching

Online Learning/Blackboard Student Support
Goals:
We will continue to update, enhance, and develop training resources related to currently implemented as well as new instructional technologies to meet the varying needs of faculty.
We continue to provide, develop, and improve access to services for students enrolled in online & hybrid courses, especially as many students rely on the flexibility and learner-centered approaches provided by the online delivery method to complete their educational goals.
We work collaboratively with Las Positas College’s (LPC’s) online learning support staff, LPC’s Distance
Education Committee, and the Committee On Online Learning (COOL) to comply with the current state and federal issues impacting distance education at Chabot College.
How does your unit support other administrative, student services and academic units?
Online Learning supports instruction, academic units, and students campus-wide. So far, instructors have requested the setup of 611 Spring 2013 course sections with Blackboard course sites (compared to
575 sites in Fall 2012), which translates to a current head-count enrollment of 20,545 students. This includes instructors who are using Blackboard for online/hybrid, or face-to-face classes. The number of courses using Blackboard has remained steady over the past few years, despite course cutbacks in previous semesters.
We also support the online and hybrid (and blend of online and on-campus) courses offered through the college. In Fall 2012, Chabot offered 55 hybrid courses and 96 online courses. Currently, in Spring 2013,
Chabot is offering approximately (pending additional data from Institutional Research) 39 hybrid courses and 109 online courses. The increase of online classes this term, vs. hybrid, can most-likely be attributed to the last-minute addition of sections to the Spring 2013 schedule.
What impact do you have on student learning?
During the Spring 2012 semester, Blackboard course sites accounted for 47% of all course sections, with
170 of those sections being fully online or hybrid courses. For spring 2013, Blackboard course sites

account for 52% of all course sections, and we expect that number increase slightly during the semester as additional instructors enable Blackboard for their courses to help facilitate student learning.
Currently, for Spring 2013, 205 Chabot instructors (both full-time and part-time) are using Blackboard for their courses. This number represents 46% of all faculty at the college. While we provide faculty training on utilizing online methods for instruction, we also assist them in providing quality online instruction for any class. During the Fall 2012 semester, we received and resolved 433 support requests.
So far for Spring 2013, we’ve received and resolved 216 support requests. And although faculty support is often the focus of our daily needs, we also directly support students with the Blackboard system and online learning needs.
During the Fall 2012, over 316 support requests were submitted by students to Online Learning Student
Support by way of an interactive online help form. Such requests include getting assistance with logging into Blackboard, technical issues, as well as instructional support for using Blackboard to complete assignments and tests. Over 232 support requests have already been received for the Spring 2013 semester, indicating the fact that the large bulk of requests are received early on in the semester. To assist students in getting started with their online/hybrid courses, we were able to successfully send students an introductory list of start-up resources at the beginning of the term by way of the SARS Call communication system.
Using the value of peer-to-peer support, we have found that assistance to online/hybrid students is often best met by other experienced online students. Therefore, we employ two Federal Work Study
Assistants who serve as Online Learning Assistants. The Online Learning Assistants are experienced online students and provide in-person peer guidance to all Chabot students taking online/hybrid courses. The intent for this student-assistant position is to provide students an on-campus place to seek advice and coaching for online learning.
Describe the number and types of staff in your office, both now and historically.
Historically, our office held 5 staff members, in 5 different positions. These positions included: One
Distance Education Coordinator, One Webmaster, One Instructional Designer, One Instructional
Assistant (Online Learning Student Support), and One part-time Instructional Assistant (faculty computer lab). However, over the past few years, our office has been drastically reduced with only two positions currently existing: the Distance Education Coordinator (Minta Winsor) and the Instructional Designer
(Lisa Ulibarri). The two staff members are now responsible for providing support for online learning and online teaching needs (students and faculty) throughout the campus.

As you enter a new Program Review cycle, reflect on your achievements over the last few years.
What did you want to accomplish?
Due to staffing reductions over the past few years, our first priority is to support the immediate need of the faculty and students who rely on online learning for their courses (online, hybrid, or on-campus).
While we continue to provide the essential services to both faculty and students, we also have taken on more responsibility in regards to state regulations. One aspect that had hoped to accomplish in the last few years is to implement online tutoring and online counseling at Chabot. While significant progress was made in regards to online tutoring, it is still not part of the norm of peer-tutoring at Chabot. In addition, online counseling only exists in the research stage.
What were your Service Area Outcomes (SAOs)? Those can include trends in any measurable outcomes tracked by your office, satisfaction survey results of your primary users/clients, and student learning outcomes, if any.

Describe how changes in resources provided to your office have impacted your achievements.
Currently, all support for online, hybrid, and web-enhanced courses (regular courses utilizing
Blackboard) is provided by two staff members who support Distance Education, that being the Distance
Education Coordinator and the Instructional Designer. Such has been the case since 2010, upon the loss of our dedicated Online Learning Student Support position. While providing effective and timely support to students is priority number one and continues to be of the upmost quality, the lack of this filled position has greatly impacted the program overall. The lack of support once provided by a staff member designated for all students enrolled in online, hybrid, and Blackboard-enhanced courses greatly reduces the ability of the DE Coordinator and the Instructional Designer to focus on higher-level planning and training resources for the DE program in general.
What are you most proud of, and what do you want to continue to improve?

Online Learning has continued to steadily represent 10% of our overall sections, despite course cuts, and the demand for these classes remains high.

The Online Learning staff worked directly with Faculty Association representatives on the preparation, training, and Student Response to Instruction survey for evaluations of online and hybrid courses.


Online Learning hired two Federal Work Study Assistants in the 2012-2013 year. These Online
Learning Assistants serve in an on-campus position in Student Online Services to provide in-person peer guidance to all Chabot students taking online/hybrid courses. These Online Learning Assistants have worked with students from online, hybrid, and on-campus courses on a variety of topics
(including an online learning orientation).

The Online Learning staff also partnered with the COOL to present a Flex Day workshop in the Fall
2012 semester. This well-attended workshop “Online & Blended Learning Beyond Infinity” presented various online learning tools that are outside of a learning management system, including
Apps, CCC Confer, and Google products.

The Online Learning staff release a monthly newsletter for Chabot College faculty teaching with
Blackboard and/or teaching a hybrid/online courses called the Online Learning Link. Each month, the publication covers timely online learning topics which have sparked many faculty and administrators to comment on the quality of this resource. All published editions of the newsletter can be found at the following link: http://www.chabotcollege.edu/cws/newsletter/default.cfm
.

The DE Coordinator and Instructional Designer also hold monthly calls with Las Positas DE
Coordinator and the faculty chairs of the Chabot COOL and LPC’s DE Committee. These calls cover a variety of topics including any Learning Management System needs, state regulations, new policies, and any district-wide issues concerning online learning. The Online Learning Staff also participate in statewide webinars and conference calls with other DE Coordinators on DE regulations and changing federal guidelines.
Discuss important trends that will have a significant impact on your unit over the next three years.
Those could include technology, facilities, equipment, and customer/client demand. What opportunities and challenges do your foresee in the next three years?
Changing and growing state and federal requirements for Distance Education have sparked a more urgent need to improve access to and support for courses and resources for distance education students and faculty.
There are also a growing number of supplemental products integrated with Blackboard, often referred to as Building Blocks. In addition to new functions and tools for instructors, this shift has initiated a need to develop district-wide guidelines and policies to help clarify and streamline the process of integration.
Another trend in online learning that could impact our unit are the growing number of MOOCs
(Massively Open Online Courses) offered through educational institutions. As one of the strategies listed on the Chabot College 2012-2015 Strategic Plan is to “identify where online or hybrid online courses can assist our students to complete programs more quickly (based on either ‘bottlenecks’ or courses not frequently offered), MOOC’s could potentially lead to a rise in the number of online courses and number of students benefitting from online learning resources.
Over the past few years, online learning has experienced the increased use of mobile devices for accessing online learning material as well as enhanced interactivity. As of August 2012, as many as 320 faculty and students are accessing their online/hybrid courses by way of the Blackboard Mobile App. The popularity of this mobile app has encouraged committee discussions of the need for optimizing other web-based campus resources for mobile viewing.

What initiatives would you like to undertake to improve or strengthen your unit or to address demand for your services? Limit your narrative to no more than three pages, and be very specific about what you hope to achieve, why, and how.
What initiatives are underway in your area, or could you begin, that would support the achievement of our new Strategic Plan goal and strategies and/or improve student learning? Identify specific, measurable goals and the resources needed to achieve them.
We will continue to strive to improve access to and support for courses and resources for distance education students and faculty. Our plans and initiatives are directly in-sync with the Strategic Plan goal of “Increase the number of students that achieve their educational goal within a reasonable time by clarifying pathways and providing more information and support” (Chabot College Strategic Plan).
Our primary service group includes students and faculty of all Chabot courses using online learning for their course needs. Continued improvement is planned in several areas including updating and clarifying information presented to Chabot Students, providing online access to essential student resources in the effort to meet the rules, regulations, and guidelines set forth by the Department of Education and state authorities, and supporting the growth of mobile devices used for online learning.
While we continuously try to provide clear and adequate information to our online students, we’ve noticed that we could improve the clarity of the course information. From the viewpoint of a student, the details for each one of the online and hybrid courses in CLASS-Web (section labeling, schedule notes, technical requirements, etc.) appear inconsistent. We hope to determine consistent labels for each type of section as well as some consistency of schedule notes. We will need to work with the COOL as representatives of the online learning faculty, and determine campus standards. We will need to communicate the necessary definitions to deans, faculty, staff, and anyone involved with scheduling. We will continue to work with both Las Positas College DE program and the District ITS to provide improved methods of communication with our online students.
Also related to this need for clarity of course information is the need to determine to what extent coding can be changed to meet state requirements while improving the search capabilities for courses in
Banner and CLASS-Web. This will also verify the accuracy of information sent to the state chancellor's office regarding distance education courses. Currently, there is no one singular, guaranteed method for obtaining a completely accurate list and we have worked with Institutional Research to produce a list of online and hybrid courses that we cannot be certain includes all courses accurately.
There are currently a handful of state and federal issues, rules, regulations, and guidelines impacting
Distance Education courses and programs. Many of these regulations and guidelines are addressed as accreditation standards for Distance Education by the Accrediting Commission for Community and
Junior Colleges (ACCJC), including clear policies on student authentication, student conduct, and DE quality. We will continue efforts to comply with standards & recommendations by way of making recommendations for providing information to students during the registration process as well as integrating aspects of Distance Education within applicable board policies. While obtaining the most recent updates by way of monthly webinars as provided by the Dean of Academic Affairs of the state
Chancellor’s Office, we will continue to work collaboratively with Las Positas College’s (LPC’s) online

learning support staff, LPC’s Distance Education Committee, the Committee On Online Learning (COOL), and ITS to meet the regulations, standards, and guidelines.
The Student Learning Programs and Services section of Accreditation Standard II, states that each institution “assures equitable access to all of its students by providing appropriate, comprehensive, and reliable services to students regardless of service location or delivery method.” We will strive to make progress in offering students college services in an online environment to provide convenient access to student resources.
Two main needs for online students at Chabot are online access to tutoring and counseling services.
While there was a pilot to explore possible methods for online tutoring, it remains unavailable to students. We hope to explore cost-effective methods for online tutoring and online counseling needs in the effort to provide those involved with a starting point to offer these essential services. As online learning at Chabot is reshaped and developed, we are continually faced with the pressing need to provide access to college services to our online learners.
A frequent topic in both the Committee On Online Learning and the Technology Committee is the increasing number of students and faculty using mobile devices (iPhones/iPads, Kindles, other smart phones and tablets) for online learning and teaching. As of August 2012, as many as 320 faculty and students are accessing their online/hybrid courses by way of the Blackboard Mobile App. The
Blackboard Mobile App is an application which provides students and instructors with limited access to their Blackboard courses and content using their mobile device. The App provides mobile access to course announcements, grades, discussions, blogs, and journals. Depending on how the instructor designed the course, students may be able to view content such as PowerPoint presentations, exams, multimedia files, and PDF’s posted by their instructor. The popularity of this mobile app has encouraged committee discussions of the need for optimizing other web-based campus resources for mobile viewing. While our focus is online learning needs, we also realize the importance of providing mobilefriendly access to college information such as the college homepage and essential student pages.

How has your investment of the budget monies you did receive improved your Service Area
Outcomes? When you requested the funding, you provided a rationale. In this section, assess if the anticipated positive impacts you projected have, in fact, been realized.
Under different supervisors and with fiscal impacts, our budget was reduced to where we had to no budget requests for the 2011-13 years. Our budget was instead drastically reduced. We moved forward, trying to instead focus on our ability to utilize free or provided technology to improve online learning and faculty training.
2.
What has been the impact of not receiving some of your requested funding? How has your ability to serve the college and our students been impacted, or safety compromised?
Given the status of the budget crisis, we did not request additional funding beyond what we needed for very basic supplies $100) and to renew the annual license for the Respondus software. Not reinstating the Online Learning Student Support position has meant that Online Learning Support staff had had to incorporate support for students into their jobs and several online learning/instructional support projects have been on hold.

Audience: Facilities Committee, Administrators
Purpose: To be read and responded to by Facilities Committee.
Background: Following the completion of the 2012 Chabot College Facility Master Plan, the Facilities
Committee (FC) has begun the task of re-prioritizing Measure B Bond budgets to better align with current needs. The FC has identified approximately $18M in budgets to be used to meet capital improvement needs on the Chabot College campus. Discussion in the FC includes holding some funds for a year or two to be used as match if and when the State again funds capital projects, and to fund smaller projects that will directly assist our strategic goal. The FC has determined that although some of the college's greatest needs involving new facilities cannot be met with this limited amount of funding, there are many smaller pressing needs that could be addressed. The kinds of projects that can be legally funded with bond dollars include the "repairing, constructing, acquiring, equipping of classrooms, labs, sites and facilities."
