L"'L"##q#'> G: Recommendation to Provost 12/3/08 As directed by the Provost, the original charge of the ACPAC Online Learning Committee (OLC) was to review the adequacy of Sakai to replace WebCT. Because PASSHE had an exclusive contract with Blackboard, only open source alternatives could be explored. At the request of OLC members, that charge was expanded to a comprehensive review of the functionality of Sakai, Moodle and Blackboard in order to make a recommendation to the CIO and Provost on the next Learning Management System (LMS). The OLC conducted an in-depth functional evaluation of these three LMS, including hands-on pilots and test accounts, workshops, demos, consultant and vendor visits, webinars, and literature review. Based on this evaluation, the OLC recommends that ɫӰ move to Moodle as the new enterprise Learning Management System. From the ACPAC minutes, 5/2/07 ACPAC endorses the recommendations from the On-line Learning Action Team. The specific recommendations are: 1. For on-line programs to truly flourish at ɫӰ, there is a need to expand the service hours for technical support for on-line students and the faculty that teach those courses. The committee feels that it is important for ɫӰ to expand this service with a long term goal of offering 24/7 technical support to all on-line students and the faculty that teach on-line. The on-line technical support should also include such services as admissions, advising and an array of services that are available to on-campus students which will need to be duplicated for on-line students. 2. ɫӰ should look very carefully at developing a Virtual Campus that would provide on-line services that mimic similar services on campus. This Virtual Campus would include services for recruitment, admissions, financial aid, major advising, course advising, library services, internships, graduation etc. In essence, the Virtual Campus would provide the necessary services in a virtual world to all on-line students. Included in the Virtual Campus would be an area with instructor resources. 3. A link to this Virtual Campus should be prominently displayed on the main page for ɫӰ. 4. ɫӰ should, very quickly, set up a procedure to evaluate both Sakai and Blackboard, with a goal of choosing between the two Learning Management Systems during the 2007-2008 academic years. Those involved in on-line teaching and those who have an interest in the area should have an opportunity to study both the strengths and weaknesses of both systems, and have their input heard. 5. ɫӰ should move aggressively toward the adoption of a Content Management System (CMS) for online material. The goal should be to have a universal standalone CMS or as a component of a Learning Management System (LMS). 6. ɫӰ should, with input from all stakeholders, develop a features list of on-line tools that will be available to faculty and students, and be supported by ɫӰ and the technical staff. The goal would be to have the necessary tools for instructors and students involved in on-line learning. Excerpt from OLAT Minutes, 9-26-07 Evaluate whether Sakai is adequate for ɫӰs online learning needs. The committee as a whole will be invited to test drive Sakai. Note: HYPERLINK "http://www.edutools.com/static.jsp?pj=4&page=HOWTO"http://www.edutools.com/static.jsp?pj=4&page=HOWTO provides a tool with which to compare multiple online solutions, including BlackBoard, Sakai and WebCT. The version PASSHE purchased is BB Academic Suite. Background: PASSHE purchased BB, so if ɫӰ wishes to choose a commercial vendor, then that must be BB. Among the open source solutions, only Sakai has vendor support. Sakai Pilot - OLAT will be invited to experiment with Sakai. Need faculty volunteers to pilot course units with real students. Can also have a course for committee to try roles of both designers and students. Must make decision by early February because of WebCT/BB contract dates. There was a request to have reps visit from BB and rSmart (Sakai support source) to look at functionality and service for the November meeting. The process for approval and communication of decisions was stated: 1) Action Team, 2) ACPAC, 3) ITS, 4) Council of Deans (via Bill Balint) and Provost Report 5/1/08b Moodle was added Actions in 2007-08: The Sakai Pilot began on November 12, 2007. Web pages were created both for the committee and specifically for the Sakai pilot, with links to registration for test accounts, technical help, and resources, and an evaluation timetable was established. Some 50 Sakai accounts were established. Introductory workshops/demos of Sakai were provided to the ACPAC Online Learning Committee and the Emerging Technologies Committee and offered to the campus community. Membership in the Online Learning Committee was offered to the entire faculty. Several new members were added, including individuals from colleges that had not been represented, from Disability Services, and the ɫӰ faculty representative to the PASSHE DE Task Force. The online learning functions list was fleshed out by the OLC and ACPAC, and the functions were weighted by 14 faculty and staff members. The functions list and weighted functions list were both passed on to PASSHE, which began to consider issues in DE in Spring 2008. Faculty and student LMS evaluation instruments were created based on the functions list. OLC recommended and ACPAC approved an evaluation of Moodle, another open source LMS, which will begin in mid-summer. The faculty survey will be administered in Student Voice. PASSHE offered to set up test accounts in Blackboard after the next version is implemented in July 2008. Thus, although there could not be a full-fledged pilot, there could at least be a trial of Blackboard by interested faculty and staff. The IT Support Center hosted campus visits by faculty and staff from Indiana University (Sakai user), rSmart (a vendor of Sakai support services), and San Francisco State University (Moodle user). Attendance ranged from 8 to 28 faculty and staff for each visit; Bob Hails, a PASSHE DL Coordinator, also attended the Indiana University presentation. The Indiana University presentation was taped and made available on streaming video (at HYPERLINK "http://old.www.iup.edu/irt/olc/iuponly/consulting"http://old.www.iup.edu/irt/olc/iuponly/consulting). Additional visits are planned for fall. The evaluation timetable has been revised to reflect the addition of the Moodle pilot and Blackboard trial (HYPERLINK "http://old.www.iup.edu/irt/olc"http://old.www.iup.edu/irt/olc).
