Here is the link for the Peralta Online Equity Rubric https://web.peralta.edu/de/files/2020/10/Peralta-Online-Equity-Rubric-3.0-Oct-2020.pdf

This is in reference to STAC - right?

yes - got it

does the equity assessment also include accessibility?

Wonderful question, Suzanne.

are we working with the accessibility center on that?

Will STAC purchases be reimbursed if it is included in the technology support? E.g. buy Ally for support next year but then it is part of the tech ecosystem.

Is this process intended to be a model that colleges can use locally as well?

For new members, what is STAC?

(And if so, will there be any centralized resource for sharing evaluations of tech to reduce duplication of effort?)

I’m sorry if I missed this. But where can we find the Course Gateway equity rubric?

or just fundamentally important

Thomas -- STAC is the Systemwide Technology Access Collaborative (STAC).

Here's an overview: https://foundationccc.org/CollegeBuys/Systemwide-Technology-Access-Collaborative-STAC

@Carol could this be https://www.coursegateway.org/about ?

We will ask

The CVC refers to the Peralta Equity Rubric and I was wondering how they compared

Thank you!

Will sample accommodation plans be provided/available for colleges?

If the larger process isn't a good fit for college use, perhaps the accessibility review process could be shared with the colleges for local accessibility reviews of technology?

When can we expect to hear a decision about Ally funding?

Thank you

timeline

?

@Betsy, I’d imagine the CCC Accessibility Center could help with that

@Candice great!

The Accessibility Center has great resources to help with a campus plan -- including an institutional self assessment. https://cccaccessibility.org/campus-plan/overview

Where can we find the order form?

Where can one find what tech is Chancellor Officr funded?

@Erin can you say more about what the “Course Gateway equity rubric” is?

@Ellen, it will be emailed to listservs and also posted to both the CVC and CollegeBuys websites.

Current STAC information is listed here: https://foundationccc.org/CollegeBuys/Systemwide-Technology-Access-Collaborative-STAC

@Whitney, in an email yesterday VC Gomez said he expected the memo by the end of this week.

Yay! Skyline College!

@Thomas, a memo will be distributed when the CO makes its decision. We will also post information here: https://cvc.edu/expanded-student-support-ecosystem-services/

Thank you!

Woohoo! Yay, SD College of Continuing Education. Congrats to all the additions.

Over halfway now!!!

SJCC is very excited to join the Consortium! Thank you!

@Brian, we are excited to have you back in the Consortium!

Thanks! It started fall 2019 with a motion in Academic Senate!

Welcome Audrey

Welcome to the Consortium, it is a great group!

Is the chat posted with the video recording?

About Course Gateway Rubric - we took a look at it and customized it for our evaluation. https://www.coursegateway.org/documents/product-evaluation-rubric-final.pdf

@Thomas: STAC = Systemwide Technology Acronym Creator. :-)

@Thomas -- yes.

Yes, welcome to the Consortium! Wendy Bass and I are co-chairs and happy to answer any questions, so reach out!

@One Summer Courses https://catalog.onlinenetworkofeducators.org/

Thank you so much for this new course. It has been requested by so many at my campus.

WOOT - super cool that these are live!

TY

Took the "Live" course in March and it is not to be missed!

I’m in the “Live” course right now and its amazing!!!!

CVC Adoptable Introduction to Live Online Teaching: https://lor.instructure.com/resources/848bb4fdba054858acab9ed6e0b0a05f?shared

@Cynthia and @Jennifer, thanks for the positive feedback. We’re delighted to hear it has been useful!

Hold off on adopting the Live Online course. We’re making some adaptions in the next few weeks.

The credit for the course goes to our @ONE PD team!

Good to know. Thank you Helen!

Yes, that you @ONE!!

There are some minor adjustments we are making based upon teaching it. Thanks, Helen.

@One is amazing!

Thanks for that, Helen. We'll be offering the course in summer and I was ready to race off the start line already. :-)

@Helen aren't updates pushed via notifications from Commons

Yes!! I love the @One courses they’re always so helpful, so informative, and I pass along the content to our campus community in our “Tips of the Week”

@One - this is so fantastic and thank you for sharing the course!

@will Yes, the Commons notifies of updates but I think you have to sign up to get the push notifications. I just wanted to be sure people were getting the latest version.

Again though, all of this - especially #4, - is a particular perspective of OCR - not a definitive interpretation of all federal or state accessibility regulations, correct?

Yes, Jim. That’s our understanding

Absolutely, Helen!

Agreed!

Yes!

The wiggle room is problematic because I know faculty will say "whatever the autocaption does is enough for my class:

can you show the previous slide again

thank you

Which standard/procedure specifically?

got it

Google Document on HyFlex: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Asmx8SfjQIgQNm1SmXgdr85Mx7mX3hopxGNDqBiWZLI/edit#gid=0

The shared folder crashed and burned, sorry. :-\ Spreadsheet links to docs are encouraged though.

I’d love a link to the board policies. Our DE Comm is drafting board policies now.

The CCLC board policy templates are password protected. Most CCCs are subscribers - ask around and find out who has the access info for your institution

“before times” :-) Love it!

Would you let us know the BP and AP numbers for the CCLC templates? Thanks!

But most colleges’ adopted BPs and APs are publicly available if you want to ask for links/examples

Will this PPt on Hyflex be available on the CCCDECO site?

@Craig -- Yes.

Board policy information from CCC accessibility center - https://cccaccessibility.org/campus-plan/policy-standards-faqs ---- it will help your institution to adopt these as a foundation to continue your accessibility work.

Thank you Katie : )

My pleasure! :)

Our IT department will not collaborate with us on technology for classrooms…any ideas on how to increase collaboration with discipline faculty and DE in retrofitting courses?

https://owllabs.com/products/meeting-owl-pro

@Angela Academic Senate

Thank you, Laurie, that’s a very helpful page!

Absolutely. Thanks so much, Laurie. Just fyi, that link opened without problem on my browser.

were you wearing a mic?

Where was the OWL placed?

OWL as classroom management—cool

How did your campus decide upon 150 purchases?

Senya, did you have to expand your wifi/broadband capacity at all?

I wonder how this would work with masks and social distancing in a pandemic world...

Such great information!

Did you do any breakout work? If so, what was the experience of live vs virtual students?

I have some instructors from a specific vocal department saying that they have read research that students do not like this and success is not any higher. Do you have any suggestions for research which supports the hyflex model of teaching?

Do we know if additional classroom mic's could be added to the OWL system?

Two meeting owls can provide a single output stream?

How do you accommodate for Deaf students and faculty who need time to focus on interpreters and on screen share?

How was student privacy handled? Were students required to submit a release form for the streaming/recording?

Wendy, is there a need to convince that department of anything? I’d say you should have plenty of faculty willing to try it, and I wouldn’t waste time on trying to win over skeptics. This is still very emergent and I don’t think there’s any definitive generalizable research ...

I agree, Jim

do you have any set up in computer labs?

How is this different for courses with activities/labs?

SFSU has been using HyFlex for over 10 years. Here is an eBook they produced that may be useful for you local conversations. https://edtechbooks.org/hyflex

This is incredibly helpful. thank you so much.

Thanks, Michelle!

@Michelle thanks for that resource on Hyflex!

Terrific information! Especially hearing student reactions and lessons learned for those that are remote. Would like to know more about how you trained both faculty and students (is there a checklist or document?). Thank you!

@Michelle, thanks!

You had apportionment on your first slide. Do you have anything to share on that?

Was there an asynchronous option for the class? Were students able to switch between face-to-face or online from class to class?

Bryan Beatty is the contact at SFSU.

With the move of many K-12 districts to hybrid (many are doing HyFlex), we should have more information coming out about how this works.

@Michelle, Thank you!

I’d recommend this excellent CHE article on Hyflex too; it points to SFSU’s work as well: https://www.chronicle.com/article/our-hyflex-experiment-whats-worked-and-what-hasnt

for disabilities students can hearing aids connect via Bluetooth?

Is the integration of the audio something that the owl does or is it an in house solution?

Mine was answered - thank you!

I hope we can continue this Hyflex conversation at next month’s DECO meeting. There’s so much to learn from each other!

Was there training needed to operate hyflex? If so how long did that take?

How was the workload for you? More work than a non-hyflex class?

Yes, Gregory, that is a common question on our campus.

Have you tried co-teaching? One managing the streams another on stage.

Angela's point about pulling in IT/Facilities into this conversation is definitely critical. Getting these conversations to happen on a larger institutional level can be challenging.

Echoing Erin, are colleges considering including an asynchronous component? The original hyflex model offers students 3 learning pathways, including working asynchronously.

I’d be curious to hear from campuses that are going down this road with regard to how the working conditions groups/unions view this.

I have heard that some colleges are doing that - one teacher in person and one online

Double the class size, have two teachers, same student to teacher ratio but logistic advantages.

Thanks @Jim.

Yes, Jim. I would, too.

I think as with most research on hybrid/blended modalities, the research suggests that there is a great deal of potential for course designs that maximize the effectiveness of each modality. It’s not about the course model overall but the design and pedagogy employed within.

@Jim Thank you for that thought :0)

@Jim - I agree that pedagogy would be key

Educause 7 things about HyFlex: https://library.educause.edu/resources/2020/7/7-things-you-should-know-about-the-hyflex-course-model

We did a PD session around HyFlex and curated some good resources. This article from EdSurge was interesting https://www.edsurge.com/news/2021-03-17-juggling-roomers-and-zoomers-how-teachers-make-hybrid-learning-work?utm_medium=email&_hsmi=116456965&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_TjRWa6or162WWp9aXauGBnK9vQx0LerEUN2MnxjckUu5J-HDjsjhpBjML1KgL7o9TGZWJ6aLNH19arSAQ7cAHDcqOgg&utm_content=116456965&utm_source=hs_email

Agreed Jim. I'm just wondering if the investment in time and money to add this modality will generate any measurable gains in metrics we want to increase.

Thank you @April

Faculty are separate from students and therefor it should be DE I’d think

@Bob I think it’s very easy to make an argument for the potential … but it’s definitely a “possible” not a “will” ...

https://und.edu/academics/ttada/_files/_docs/session-documents/hyflex-course-design-und-july-compressed.pptx

Brian’s presentation from July 2020

Thank you for this introduction and discussion. I need to go to another meeting.

@Katie thanks for that resource! Isn’t it interesting that the original article for those modalities was written 10 years ago!

And if it’s DE then Title 5 applies (student-student interaction).

Yes - I think Scheduling is a whole other conversation. How do you put it in the Schedule in a way that clearly conveys the options?

We have the same question about scheduling

What Joanna just described is I think the most likely HyFlex variant for us to use … but really it isn’t true HyFlex because there is no flexibility for the students ...

More reason to explore teaching teams. If it’s twice the work, put twice the people on it.

Sorry to ask for a repeat. Are there discussions at the CO about synchronous online being something different, or will those remain under the standard "DE" definitions?

Yes, it would seem like the public health impacts from the pandemic will take some of the “flex” out of HyFlex

I thought the idea was that students could choose the method of attendance each week that works best for them. So even if they sign up for the "online" section, they could come to class if they wanted to. No?

@Jim, agreed. HyFlex was designed to keep student choice at the center.

would it need to be an instructor, or could a TA position be used?

@Lisa maybe … but it seems like that could end up posing significant logistical challenges if not bureaucratic ones

With social distancing, it’d be easy to over-max a classroom when too many students come to campus

Yep

A great 'non-academic' place to get information about faculty HyFlex experiences is the FB Pandemic Pedagogy page.

And Joshua Kim from Inside Higher Ed gives a great overview of what can make HyFlex work... https://tinyurl.com/wyhhma85

Great suggestions, Nick!

The zoom question just made me wonder if it only works with zoom or can it be used with TEAMS

ahh you just said Teams :-)

If anyone is really interested in more detailed technical ideas for HyFlex room setup, https://flexspace.org/ is a great resource. You do need to join for free to get access.

Yes! Let’s please revisit this topic. There’s so much to learn and explore.

@Jim - So then the idea is that students have to sign up for one modality or the other and then stick to it?

Great question, Mary.

@Jim, @Lisa, you’re right that students would. Not technically have the choice once they are registered into different classes…

@Lisa I think that’s the easiest way to start down this road, especially to deal with COVID concerns about classroom capacity

I see. I thought that was the "flex" part

You know the SLI can be "pinned" by the DHH student and have it and the teacher's slides at the same time

And not just for hearing impaired students, but also students who may have learning disabilities/ADHD.

ZoomRooms will allow multiple input, Nick.

“True” HyFlex means every student can choose every week between live in-person, live online, and asynchronous online.

Could have a separate simulations video feed of the translator. With a dashboard, students could tap into the second feed as needed.

Nick, have you tried Manycam?

Have not, is it a way to integrate multiple video feeds?

Yes

Would love the link (or is it easy to google)?

@Jim - sooo…. we're talking about something other than "true" HyFlex.

for sure

I’d love two different conversations: one about the tech and another focused only on pedagogy

Enjoy the weekend folks!

Got it

Nick - https://manycam.com/

Many Cams is google-able, free and paid versions
