Thanks for the shoutout Kandace. There’s a long line of great CCC folks who have been involved in DET/CHE leadership

Joanna and Kandace are great!

Thanks back to all of you working so hard to help our students succeed online!

WHOOP WHOOP @ONE

I second that!

And thanks to all of our CVC/@ONE facilitators and reviewers on this call with us!

<3 @One and everyone who is working so hard for us!

Absolutely huge thanks to the @ONE team for setting the standard for professional development for all of us!

Thanks to all of our @ONE team. I couldn’t see all the participants to see everyone who joined for a shout out!

Are all STAC purchases for district-wide contracts only?

@Lisa - STAC purchases can be made on an individual college basis if desired.

Purchases can be made for college-wide FTE or generally for a sub-set (e.g., certain population of students) based on a smaller FTE count, if the technology integration (e.g. Canvas) supports use for a sub-population.

is Vericite part of TurnItIn now?

@Tracie, yes. They were purchased by them two years ago I believe. Maybe even longer.

Yes, Vericite was purchased by Turnitin

@Tracie, yes, Turnitin purchased Vericite a year or two ago

What if we already signed a contract for Turnitin SimCheck in the Spring. Will we get a discount off what we paid already?

If we already have a relationship and deposit account set up with NetTutor, do we need to order via STAC?

Vericite was purchased in early 2018: https://www.edsurge.com/news/2018-02-20-turnitin-acquires-plagiarism-detection-competitor-vericite#:~:text=Feb%2020%2C%202018&text=VERICITE%2C%20a%20developer%20of%20a,staff%20will%20join%20the%20Turnitin.

Ah, thanks All. I was not aware about that. That is great to hear

It’s great that this is resulting in lower prices but the process is challenging in terms of timing and sustainability/budgeting!

@Rick - we’re going to double check on that one. I don’t think so, but want to make sure you get the right answer.

Can you repeat the info about Proctorio? 6 month contract?

If colleges want one of these services in mid-Spring, they pay the foundation-negotiated price? (Not the lower price)?

@Kandace correct. Purchases for spring outside the current buying window (Dec 4) come in at the pre-negotiated Foundation price.

Who is the contact for Proctorio about segmenting FTES for only a couple of departments? The tool would need to be installed in Canvas differently than it currently is. It's available to all faculty currently in our account. If it remains open, we could expect a bill at the end of the contract. Who monitors usage? I'm thinking about a dashboard like NET-TUTOR has. Proctorio wasn't able to tell us who was using the service before. Is here a dashboard now?

@Jodie, we’ll ask that question live re: Proctorio

So for Proctorio, we need to order/pay for the FTE for the full campus even if only a few departments are using it?

Thank you for clarifying that!

We had about 3,250 students use Proctorio in Fall 2020, but total FTES is around 7,800. So, we should order for 3,500 x $7.75?

We are using Pronto for DETCHE. YAY

Yeas

PRONTO part of STAC list

Yes, sorry... Please jump onto Pronto and say hi!

@Rick How would you limit usage in Canvas? Colleges will need to find a way to block use correct? Otherwise I think Proctorio would give us a bill at the end of the semester for the number of real users we had beyond our estimate.

@Katie Are you using MS Teams? If so, do you use Teams and Pronto for groups and chats?

@Jodie; you could try and set up specific sections in a subaccount and only allow Proctorio in the subaccount. It would probably be a lot of work for managing the creation of those sections and/or moving them into the subaccount.

@Kathy - I will connect with you offline and we can discuss the previous contract you secured

@Anna...It would be a lot of work. That is the only solution I could see since Proctorio hasn't developed a dashboard. It seems the only data they have is price and number of users. Here's another question...if FCC has a student who is also attending MSJC and we BOTH pay $7.75 for that student, the system is paying MORE than the published price of $15 per ftes. Does that sound right?

Auditor report mentioned by Kandace https://www.auditor.ca.gov/reports/2017-102/responses.html

@Jodie - Possibly; I'd have to review the agreement to understand the counting.

What was the last point?

@Tracie. We have Teams. It hasn’t been used widely. Pronto was adopted really quickly once we went remote. We went from 200 or so total users to over half the campus in under 2 months.

@Katie We just got Teams, but cannot add the students. For now only the staff has access to it

What is that number Laurie? The number for AR & BP ?

@Tracie, our Teams is across all constituents. We love Pronto because faculty can opt in to it. All students are loaded from Canvas. It’s been great!

The Community College League of California has issued updated board policy and administrative procedure guidance for technology accessibility. Please refer to Board Policy 3725 / Administrative Procedure 3725 - Information and Communications Technology Accessibility & Acceptable Use for a draft of these policies and procedures.

Thanks @Katie!

This includes instructional materials

Yes, for instance, this is an equity issue as well. Could equity funding be used to help?

My pleasure! @Tracie! We were so lucky to have Fabiola Torres as an advocate on campus. Made the transition so easy!

Great presentation!

Thanks, Laurie

@Laurie. Oh..I see..so it's a recommendation to modify ICC BP/AR's? Generally that regulation noted physical equipment, like phones (telecommunications). Are you saying that we could add digital tools and software to the ICC regulation?

great slides, will they be shared? :)

@Laurie...any chance you have a link?

Jasmine, yes, they will be on the DECO website. http://cccdeco.org as well as in the DE Coordinator Community on the Vision Resource Center.

Link to slides: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15EY1_yFz8fD3hzMpYJdbaTVZmXvIb231/view?usp=sharing

Please feel free to share your questions here in the chat!

@EVC Alvarado, could you please elaborate a little on what you meant when you said ‘leverage the moment?’ If better to address verbally, this can wait until the end.

Given overall decrease in enrollment, what strategies/best practices seem to be supporting student enrollment? See https://www.ppic.org/blog/the-pandemics-effect-on-community-college-enrollment/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=blog_subscriber

I think it is important to understand that Canvas is not optional to providing instruction. All of the other tools can be considered optional. Can we agree to make that distinction?

Agreed, Anna.

@Anna - 100% agree

Good point, Anna.

Will we have Zoom funded beyond June 2021?

How do we gain access to the cloud storage?

@Barney: How long will those videos remain stored in the cloud?

What is the long-term video storage solution apart from the Zoom cloud?

Perhaps he is referring to 3CMedia. We will verify.

Will we have Blackboard Ally funded beyond June 2021?

I hear that we are supporting "equity" across the system...how does a tool do that...specifically? Not rhetorical, instead, looking for details rather than a general statement.

Yes! EVC Marty Alvarado. It will be similar to building access maintenance. These programs are essential and should not be viewed as extra--but standard instructional operating tools..

Can you provide a link to Nov. 18, 2020 webinar? Thank you!

pls send me email

@Najib, we can resend VC Gomez’ memo to the list that includes all of the deadlines.

ill attach the fole

Did Rebecca mention that Gomez was going to talk about an expansion of "help" or a helpdesk?

@Jodie - Thank you!

You can see the Guidance on cameras from College of the Canyons here: https://onlinenetworkofeducators.org/2020/08/23/guidance-for-synchronous-online-classes-from-college-of-the-canyons/

The General Council’s opinion will also be posted in the VRC Distance Education Coordinators Community. It is in the Proctoring Topic

Thank you, Katie!

Can someone please repeat for me what college Julie is from?

Thanks.

Verbally answered: Los Medanos College

Great job, Julie!

@Julie From what I remember Proctorio publicly released student chat. Did ProctorioU (name?) do that too?

I’m not sure of all the details related to the proctoring companies, but the articles linked in my slides have more details

I would like to encourage everyone to consider *asynchronous* voice and video tools too (like VoiceThread and Flipgrid) when evaluating when cameras are essential in instruction. From your view (wherever that may be) is that occurring?

https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/12/15/theres-a-new-front-in-the-college-cheating-scandal-online-classes/

Canvas also allows asynchronous voice & video quiz responses

Great job, thanks Nick!

Is surveillance software the only way to confirm a students identity Nick?

Thanks Nick! I appreciate your point about authentication.

We watch students take exams in person, I consider that more verification than surveillance.

@Nick Do you check Student IDs when you take roll on the first day of class? Do students need to show their ID when taking exams in f2f classes?

No, but I do at the final exam (in face to face).

@Nick. Of course in person exams are. I meant...is surveillance software the only way to verify student identity in an online course?

I don’t know of another way to verify the ID of the person taking the exam, other that to watch them take the exam. Time shifted or IRL.

@nick... how is the final exam weighted?

@Nick "Watching" and "Recording" are not the same.

By recording I give students the flexibility to let me watch it, but do it on their own schedule. Take the exam where they want, when they want, and “send” me the images to watch afterwards. It’s a service that allows more students to take an essential classs.

@Nick. Thank you for articulating the importance of validation of academic rigor of online courses with proctoring software and how flagging in Proctorio is not auto-scoring. Proctorio can be used as an extra pair of eyes like a TA

A grade is part reward and part measurement. I have weekly quizzes, monthly mini-midterms and a single final. Together those measures award about half the points. The other half are adaptive homework assignments, lab reports (kitchen safe chemistry) and discussions group participation. Which takes the edge of stick exam grading.

Jennifer, thank you for demonstrating how changing *how* we assess learning can be transformative for so many ways.

That sounds like a good alternative Nick. Students should be able to opt out. Thank you for sharing. With all of these ideas, I hope we examine "why" students chose to cheat and find ways that they can proudly demonstrate what they have learned.

Thanks so much for this, Jen! I appreciate the nod to learning happening DURING assessment. That is truly making the most of students' time.

Thanks Michelle!

Thank you, Jen! Great contribution to the body of knowledge.

Back in 2000 our CC required proctored final exams for online courses. The issue was the final exams needed to be weighted in such a way that if someone else was doing the work throughout the semester, the final exam would have to be weighted to ensure students who were not doing the work prior to the final exam couldn't pass the course with a failing final exam score... We abandoned the required proctored final exam because of this challenge.

Great presentation Jennifer! Such a better way to look at the learning process.

If anyone is interested, there was a Teach-In Against Surveillance event earlier today in support of raising funds for an educator that Proctorio is currently suing. Here is a link to the archive. I only caught part of it but it was extremely powerful. http://againstsurveillance.net/

Thanks, Jen!

Thank you!
