SPCC uses a variety of alternative delivery methods currently, including:
Online (Blackboard and Moodle) Hybrid (blended) Web-enhanced ITV ITV and Blended/Web-enhanced
![Page 3: Making Technology Work for the Rural Student Raymond Griffith and Heather Woodson South Piedmont Community College](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55151d4655034673228b4f0c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Significant Growth = Management Plan
As a result of the increase in demand for alternative delivery methods, SPCC sought a way to:– manage course content;– ensure quality; and– promote student success.
Course standards were born.
![Page 4: Making Technology Work for the Rural Student Raymond Griffith and Heather Woodson South Piedmont Community College](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55151d4655034673228b4f0c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How the Course Standards are Used
“Team Blackboard” reviews all online and hybrid courses
If a course does not pass standards, it DOES not open for students
As an example, in 2007-2008 school year, the arts and science department had to delay the opening of seven courses
![Page 5: Making Technology Work for the Rural Student Raymond Griffith and Heather Woodson South Piedmont Community College](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55151d4655034673228b4f0c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
How the Course Standards are Used

ITV Connects Two Locations
![Page 21: Making Technology Work for the Rural Student Raymond Griffith and Heather Woodson South Piedmont Community College](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55151d4655034673228b4f0c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
SPCC ITV Standards
All new ITV instructors must go to a training course
During the first week of class, a member of the ITV standards team or an experienced faculty member attends class with new instructors
A thorough training manual is provided to each person that attends training
![Page 22: Making Technology Work for the Rural Student Raymond Griffith and Heather Woodson South Piedmont Community College](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55151d4655034673228b4f0c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
SPCC ITV Standards
The instructor encourages and monitors appropriate behavior.
The instructor ensures administrative duties are performed in an accurate and timely manner.
Effective course management.
![Page 23: Making Technology Work for the Rural Student Raymond Griffith and Heather Woodson South Piedmont Community College](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55151d4655034673228b4f0c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
SPCC ITV Standards
The instructor makes effective use of time. The instructor ensures the physical setting is
conducive to student learning. Other standards such as those for student
learning mirror online standards.
![Page 24: Making Technology Work for the Rural Student Raymond Griffith and Heather Woodson South Piedmont Community College](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55151d4655034673228b4f0c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Advantages to the ITV Room
It connects both campuses. Allows face to face meetings. Larger groups of students can form a class
which might not otherwise have enough students to be offered at either location.
Saves gas and allows more flexible scheduling. Has the technology available to accommodate
different learning styles. Shared instructor resources.
![Page 25: Making Technology Work for the Rural Student Raymond Griffith and Heather Woodson South Piedmont Community College](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55151d4655034673228b4f0c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Accommodations in the ITV Room
The teacher’s station isn’t always the best place to teach.
The teacher / meeting leader needs to decide whether it is more important for the groups to see him/her, or to see each other.
Using the technology takes planning and practice to do smoothly.
![Page 26: Making Technology Work for the Rural Student Raymond Griffith and Heather Woodson South Piedmont Community College](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55151d4655034673228b4f0c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Teaching to Two Classes
Class seating.– Be sure that
everyone sits where you can see them. It is easy to overlook someone sitting on the edges.
– Remember, the seats and tables face the ITV screens.
![Page 27: Making Technology Work for the Rural Student Raymond Griffith and Heather Woodson South Piedmont Community College](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55151d4655034673228b4f0c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Teaching to Two Classes
Meeting mode/Group discussion
– Be sure that everyone sits where everyone else can see them.
– Remember, the seats and tables face the ITV screens.
– A team leader who stands in front of a group will have her back to one of the rooms.
![Page 28: Making Technology Work for the Rural Student Raymond Griffith and Heather Woodson South Piedmont Community College](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55151d4655034673228b4f0c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Teaching to Two Classes
Lecture.– If you have don’t
have the cameras set correctly, the other side will see only your back – or won’t see you at all.
– Using the instructor’s station will effectively have you facing both classes.
![Page 29: Making Technology Work for the Rural Student Raymond Griffith and Heather Woodson South Piedmont Community College](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55151d4655034673228b4f0c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Teaching to Two Classes
Using the whiteboard– The whiteboard is good
for lecture unless you have to use other accessories.
– Be aware of body placement. If you are not careful, you might stand in front of what you are writing!
![Page 30: Making Technology Work for the Rural Student Raymond Griffith and Heather Woodson South Piedmont Community College](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55151d4655034673228b4f0c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Teaching to Two Classes
Treat both locations equally– Know your students’ names. Talk to
(address by name) students at the other campus.
– Face the camera when talking to students on the other campus.
– Remember, the students on the other campus don’t see everything.
![Page 31: Making Technology Work for the Rural Student Raymond Griffith and Heather Woodson South Piedmont Community College](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55151d4655034673228b4f0c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Teaching to Two Classes
Treat both locations equally (cont.)– Write large enough on the whiteboard for
students to clearly see what you are doing.
Larger! LARGER!– Explain what you are going to do before
you do something different. The other campus needs an extra sense of continuity.
![Page 32: Making Technology Work for the Rural Student Raymond Griffith and Heather Woodson South Piedmont Community College](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/55151d4655034673228b4f0c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Teaching to Two Classes
“Rotate” locations if possible – this helps students at the “far site” feel more connected
Supplement ITV instruction online – Tests– Handouts– Practice Assessments– Discussion Boards– Supplemental Reading
