Thanks Kandace!

What is the title of the article?

I have those links and will share, Erin

So ready to get that supported tech info ...

proctorio is funded?

you asked my question, Nick! Thank you!

What was the planned release date for the memo?

They had been saying “early to mid October"

Thanks!

Is there any additional guidance or materials that show colleges how it looks for students at home colleges?

The interface, I mean.

@Erin-- Any word on a webinar for financial aid directors for FA agreement?

Title of article in Distance Education: A Critical Reconceptualization of Faculty Readiness for Online Teaching

Thank you, Kandace.

Thank you for article title.

I'm concerned the arrows do not go back out to the light blue schools.

Yay, thanks so much, Kandace!

:-)

PM me if you have a hard time tracking down the article. :-)

How can we see an example of the student services / financial aid dashboard

@Linda, light blue schools are those who have not fully integrated and so students cannot cross enroll. Once they do, they will be able to accept students.

Good question, James

@James, my financial aid director has the same request.

Our goal is to have all CCCs be dark blue with arrows going all directions.

is it a live connection or is phase one passing a data archive for classes? (thought live connection was phase 2)

@Andrea - thank you for clarification

@Nick, Phase 1 live connection is pulling live course data so students can see live seat counts. They can’t cross enroll, but they can see if a class actually has space.

Are new applications to join CVC being processed?

@Brian, yes!

I can’t say I love Proctorio, but many of my faculty are pretty attached to it

@Moses, agreed.

Will the list decipher the difference in funding between consortium colleges versus others? Of has that line been blurred enough that that is not applicable in any form now?

@Moses & @Wendy, are these DE faculty or pandemic DE faculty?

@Kandace: At my college, it's both.

@Andrea can you clarify whether all colleges are required to become teaching colleges to participate ?

I thought light blue just meant that they were only choosing to participate as home colleges

@Kandace, a combo of both. But you are correct, I would say more remote instructors who went online for this pandemic

@Davena There will no longer be a distinction between consortium v non-consortium tools. Tools will be system-wide for all CCCs.

@Kandace, used in different ways much of our faculty rely on proctorio. at a minimum, to confirm student identity when taking assessments.

@Scott, same at SCC, though we’re easing them toward authentic assessments and less of a reliance on Proctorio.

@Kandace-We are doing the same at City College!

Thank you, Jory!

I missed your question Jim, but it wasn’t on purpose :)

@Matthew love your Zoom photo!

You were busy! No problem

@Andrea, thank you. So, with no distinction in the area of tools, what will the benefits be to remaining a consortium college. I am just trying to sort this out in my own head. :-)

@Davena, that will be one of the discussion topics at next week’s Consortium meeting, but I can tell you … being able to accept cross enrolled students, increased marketing across the state, access to our awesome PD and training, etc.

In 5 years, will there be a need for the consortium?

@Kandace, in terms of the CVC Exchange and the technical components, agreements, yes.

How do I get invited to the Consortium meeting to get more information since we are a brand new college and are now trying to figure out the exchange.

@Antoinette, what college are you from?

Madera Community College - we are not part of the consortium

are we recording this?

Yes, can non-consortium colleges attend meeting; I am working with SJCC to join.

Yes, Nick

Hey all, I have the pdf of that article if you want it.

@Kandace They’re a mix and many of them are certified now and will continue doing online instruction. They are almost exclusively math and science faculty, and of course nursing which is categorically a bit different in terms of their need.

(would like to have link for faculty look)

@Andrea, thank you so much. The clarity and response is appreciated. We are all looking forward to that next consortium meeting. :-)

Thank you, @Angela!

Antionette, please send me your email. We can talk about having a meeting with your college to get you brought up to speed. The Consortium meeting is for colleges who are currently members, but we would love to have you join!

Thank you, too, @Andrea! :-)

CZAR!

Well deserved, James! Thank you for all your enthusiasm and hard work!

WENDY!!!!

Yay, Wendy!

sorry everyone!

Internet dropped!

I’m back

wow…

Thanks for sharing this, Wendy. This will be super useful - MiraCosta is just about to try to devise similar guidelines.

Us, too . . . we’re building guidelines and these are so helpful

Us too.

yes!

These are terrific student testimonials! Powerful!

These are helpful videos, Wendy. Are you able to share the workshop materials?

Excellent videos

Those student videos are everything. Thank you, Wendy!

Wendy I really appreciate the amazing student videos. Please share.

I will make sure to share, thanks everyone!

we don’t use proctorio to catch people cheating. we use to to confirm who took the exam, so we can credibly stand behind them when to speak about how well they learned the material.

it’s let’s us be more effective advocates

I think most everyone would agree it’s a protected record. But what colleges may differ on is what the implications of that are.

I understand the serious problems with Proctorio, esp. re: equity. But how do you do authentic assessment in chemistry? Calculus? Physics? I'm not sure how to help our STEM faculty with summative assessment and would appreciate suggestions.

(A recorded Zoom video including students)

@Mike. Some of our STEM teachers are starting with the answer and asking students to show or explain hot they got there.

@Mike, same concerns! Our nursing and radiology faculty are concerned that without something like Proctorio that the integrity of their program will fall apart and that students will enter the medical field with poor training.

We lost him right in a crucial part!

Great points, James!

Good question, Mike. We are facing the same challenge. I’m going to bring in someone to talk to our STEM folks who helped build the project-based learning model of UCD Vet School.

@James, can you share this form?

https://onlinenetworkofeducators.org/2020/08/23/guidance-for-synchronous-online-classes-from-college-of-the-canyons/

@Mike There are disciplines where demonstration of competency is a life or death matter and certification of competency requires authenticating student competency.

@Mike my more adventurous math faculty are doing a combination of having students submit pictures or written assessments (with a handwriting sample submitted in week 1) and doing short 1:1 oral assessments

@James can you clarify: Are you requiring instructors to get students to sign the form if they only want to share back recordings with the current class and never a future class?

I think James cut out before the response to question 8 (e.g. ‘what if the courses require demonstrations/etc.)

@Nick, our college uses it for this purpose as well. Also, for exam security. Many faculty do not want assessment shared. You can download anything from Canvas.

@Wendy - Kandace shared a link to our form

Total side question but does anyone use Starfish as an early alert system? If so, I’d love to ping you.

@Jim We ask instructors to get permission from students if they want to share the recording, either with the current class or a future class

@Jennifer yes, we are up and running for our first-year experience cohort

Thanks, @James. I think it is unusual to require permission for sharing with current class. Has that posed any challenges for faculty?

@James - if the class does require a demonstration/activity that requires a camera on (e.g. a presentation) where did you college land on that?

@Brandon - in an ideal world, for a pubic speaking or performance class, e.g., we ask instructors to get permission at the start of the semester. Also, we ask instructors to inform students in their orientation letters that a camera will be needed and class sessions will be recorded

@James - Thank you! The key, then, seems to be both making it transparent in the syllabus and course notes.

Oops. Sorry. Perhaps Joanna or Anne can access that and share in another way.

@Brandon - yes, the principle of informed consent

We at Contra Costa College are still drafting our guidance on online proctoring and are including suggested alternative authentic assessments in it, specifically for math and sciences. I am sharing three helpful links we are including in it.

What was the 4dc memo? I think it was a guidance memo for synchronous learning.

4cd

the DVC camera optional recommendation link does not work

ty @Maritez and all :)

(it’s a local file address)

at Cypress some of the accreditation groups for health science are requiring proctorio specifically

Try this one for DVC : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Rcdvv4phtWAhYVNijdspFdSRuPo4dNhhmh5NuDoY3BQ/edit?usp=sharing

that works

Thanks everyone!

thanks all - some great information today!! much appreciated!

Thanks all!

Does everyone know that Canvas will be forcing us all to the new Rich Content Editor in January? I confirmed that yesterday at CanvasCon

Great meeting. Thank you!

Very informative meeting. Thank you.

This was extremely helpful as we are in the process of getting our guidance adopted by the Faculty Senate. Thank you all for sharing your resources so generously.

Terrific information! Thank you to James, Wendy and Anne!

Thanks! Very helpful resources for online teaching guidelines

Thank you!

Thank you!

@Jim--- actually I've been using the new RCE and it's great!

Yes, they are Jim.

can use a waiting room, zoom will not require passwords and waiting room works fine (and can be temporary disabled at start of meeting for casual entry)

Such a wealth of resources, thank you!

I’m a fan

All the features are the same--the are just relocated.

Thanks, everyone! Great resources!

Thank you...this was a very helpful meeting!

Thanks for coming everyone! Next month Professional Development!

https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/The-Canvas-tl-dr/RCE-Updates-Summer-2020/ba-p/276684 was a good article about the new RCE’s limitations as of this summer
