Editor's Notes

#2 Tile slide: TAACCCT On!. Highlights from the Topeka Conference
#3 Highlights from pre-conference meetings. Merlot repository services – websites links for skillscommons.org website and the email address for David Walker at Cal State University. CreativeCommons.org website information with links to creative commons website as well as the web address for the TAACCCT Grant repository of courses. Finally, bullet point about Round 3 Breakout Session with other grantees.
#4 Round 3 Breakout Session key takeaways. Critical things for Project Management: get the leadership at the college level invested in the project. And force the necessary issues by referring to the signed Statement of Work documents. General Tips: Get faculty involved in professional development around the gran. Also, build student interest from the bottom up. And think about sustainability as soon as possible. Success Stories: highlight success stories from students to faculty to administration. Get people noticing the work of the grant.
#5 Round 3 Breakout Session continued. These two bullets exemplified how much Colorado and CHAMP are doing well in overall grant management. Communication: have a clear plan of communication, much like we do from the system office to all of the partner institutions in the consortium. Also, make sure to higher project leads as soon as possible and make sure they are full-time positions dedicated to the grant. Exciting Parts of the Grant: Things that COETC and other grantees have been doing successfully are Mobile Labs, Industry buy-in, impacting students’ lives and getting new buildings and equipment for the partner colleges.
#6 The DOL Speaker Sharon Leu talked to the entire conference, giving an overview of the DOL goals and requirements for the grant. They want Evidence-based approach to redesigned courses and programs. They wan to use online technology to reach a wider group of potential students. The want to enable credit for prior learning. And finally, they want to implement strategies to reach “non-traditional” students, particularly vets.
#7 Title slide for Concurrent Session and Round Tables
#8 OER Management and Delivery. Make sure that the content used in the course builds is OPEN and train faculty and SMEs on licensing requirements, copyright, and use of original and open sources. It is also recommended that consortia retain a copyright expert to oversee content. Ensure the quality of the materials being included in the courses. Have an instuctional design review or instructional design team help with the content. Divide course development into stages so that faculty and adminstrators are not overloaded. And facilitate multiple review with avenues for support to improve courses.
#9 OER Management and Deliver con’t. Provide a deliverables list to all member institutions and people working on the grant. Give specific due dates, have designated people in charge on project management, and conduct all management openly. Create a plan for sustainability. Select a redesigned delivery system that works. Avoid comple reliance on an LMS, especially if it does not support common cartiridges. And make a plan to maintain courses on OER.
#10 OER Management and Deliver cont. Check accessibility requirements and have a professional accessibility expert review the content for ADA compliance. Plan for data collection and create a clear research plan that is both quantitative and qualitative. Make sure to let all partner institutions and faculty know what data is being collected and how it will be used.
#11 OER Management and Deliver cont. Faculty and Administrative Support – get people to buy in to using OER for highlights to long-term benefits. Have adminstration create an encouraging climate for OER use and provide easy pathways for faculty and students to access OER. Look for other projects, initiatives and mini-grants that might benefit from OER. Reach out experts in the field and look to have someone in charge of faculty trainings on OER
#12 Online Curriculum and Labs National Convergence Technology Center created to Revitalize the IT industry and be reactive to industry layoffs. Virtual Labs utilizing NetLab platform create an intuitive experience for students to enhance the online learning process. Websites are listed that link to virtual labs.
#13 Evidence-base Course Design Kim Larson from OLI at Stanford University showed how education research impacts course design as they look for ways to develop courses that have key points to measure student learning. Flipped classroom models are a prime example of this type of work as students interact with instructors while doing the work that shows learning. This method also uses skills mapping to scaffold necessary skills to achieve main learning ojective and helps identify necessary prior knowledge and skills.
#14 Evidence-base Course Design cont These strategies also encourage instrunctional activities that get at metacognitive questions to get students assessing their own outcomes. Finally, this method uses assessment not only for summative assessments for the students, but for the course delivery and instructor.
#15 Business and Industry Leadership Team This presentation focused on how to build useful alliances with industry. Quarterly Meetings without HR reps Have business lead work in some capacity Identify trends in the emerging or existing fields Involve business in recruitment events Create postcards and other media to share information with business partners Create a process for determining the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed by industry BILT provides internships, externships, shadowing for faculty, business mentoring, guest speakers and a pathway for students to get hired.
#16 TAACCCT Promotion and Successes Successful grantees have focused on outreach and promotion of grant activities to industry, students, and constituents/partners. They have also integrated with overall mission and vision of college/university/system Suggestions for grantees to think about who they are addressing when promoting activities – administration can leverage the grant, but only if they are included. Reaching out the prospective students should be done in their familiar media spheres. And never forget to included potential employers and industry partners who are not currently involved.
#17 TAACCCT Promotion and Success Successful grantees have had success in sharing non-quantifiable success stories and have used college and consortia websites to promote these individual stories.
#18 TAACCCT Promotion and Success cont Focus on the Vets! Open pathways and existing partnerships/avenues to vets and built trust immediately. Make sure to include them at job fairs with specific activites/tables for vet services. And reach out to recruiting offices, national guard, and veteran’s affairs office to get them involved in bringing Vets to the opportunities provided by the grant.
#19 Military Transition Program Five stages to transition vets: Consortium awareness Military outreach Continuous Research, Improvement and training Collaboration with industry that has their own need/connection to vets Support questionnaire and Veteran questionnaire
#20 Military Transition Program cont Make sure to share outcomes and statistics on how well you are serving vets Work with vets to make sure they are connected to all of the assistance and benefits that they qualify for. Assess and provide credit for prior learning Promote the jobs that are out there and show them the pathway to those jobs.
#21 Military Transition – CPL There is an existing guide and comprehensive database for: Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSC) Military Operation Specialty (MOS) Navy Enlisted Codes (NEC) And more guidance and examples of accessing/crosswalking military experience can be found at the link to the Washburn University website Make should to follow procedures and follow up on a regular basis. Get forms signed and ask for process status updates.
#22 Military Transition – CPL cont Challenges Institutional Support can be difficult – make sure to have this lined up so that you can back your work There are numerous specialty codes for military service Constant change with the military priorities and skillsets All of this requires education and training for administrative and student support staff.
#23 Data Management This presentation show how successful round 1 grantees were handling the data requirement of the grant. Building a consortium management system was seen as critical for maintaining a college management system, employment security validation, and student records. Some grantees use Access, others use Excel, but make it consistent for the consortium. Reports generated to track program success and overall constortium success
#24 Participant Tracking. This covers the difficulty of tracing wage data beyond graduation or exit from the grant program. Survey Monkey is a tool that can be used to help with this, as can TrackVia. A texting service could also be employed to get self-reported date from students.
#25 Participant Tracking cont Use social media not only as a promotional tool, but as alumni contact list Incentivize students to participate with practice interview days, celebrations for cert. completion, private tours and contact with industry partners to facility job acquisition Finally, document collection of all this data and use online participation forms.
#26 Recruiting TAA-eligible participants Current Workers must petition for eligibility at the DOL website given on the slide It is also advisable to stress where the jobs are in qualifying fields: List key employers Outreach with employer partners Outreach to workforce centers Send employment opportunities to students.
