In responding strategically to the need to increase online
enrollments at a time when enrollments for traditional face-to-face
delivered courses are declining annually, higher education
institutions recognize not only that they urgently have to develop
faculty capacity to teach online but also leverage the affordances
of a now bewildering array of new technologies. This book
constitutes a guide to the wide range of new and emerging
transformative learning technologies, to give leaders the context
they need to position their institutions in the changing online
environment. It is intended for campus leaders and administrators
who work with campus teams charged with identifying learning
technologies to meet an agreed upon program- or institution-level
educational needs; for those coordinating across campus to build
consensus on implementing online strategies; and for instructional
designers, faculty developers and assessment directors who assist
departments and faculty effectively integrate learning technologies
into their courses and programs. It will appeal to faculty who take
an active interest in improving online teaching. The contributors
to this volume describe the potential of artificial intelligence
algorithms, such as those that fuel learning analytics software
that mines LMS data to enable faculty to quickly and efficiently
assess individual students' progress in real time, prompting either
individual attention or the need to more generally clarify concepts
for the class as whole. They describe and provide access to a
hybrid professional development MOOC and an associated WIKI that
curate information about a wide range of learning software
solutions currently available; and present case studies that offer
guidance on building the buy-in and consensus needed to
successfully integrate learning technologies into course, program-
and institution-level contexts. In sum, this book provides readers
with a comprehensive understanding of the technological
capabilities available to them and identifies collaborative
processes related to engaging and building institutional support
for the changes needed to provide the rapidly growing demand for
effective and evidence-based online learning.
