Theme: BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE
Welcome to the Fifth Annual Tech and Publishers Expo, which this year returns to the Los Angeles campus where it began.
Our featured speaker is LeBaron Woodyard, Dean of Instructional
Technology at the Califormia Community College
Chancellor's Office. Dean Woodyard will offer two colloquies,
one centering on the implications of the funding crisis and the
other on what the future holds for technology at the community
colleges.
We begin the morning with two issue-oriented conversations
that spring out of recent revisions to Title 5 that close the
gap
between online and classroom delivery. One is between LACCD Trustee
Mona Field, also a professor at Glendale Community
College, and CVC Region 2 Director Andy Howard on how expanding
online instruction might affect the politics of the
community colleges. The other is between John Clerx from the LACCD
District Office and Glendale's interim dean Deborah
Ludford on what is involved in the development of hybrid courses
using both forms of delivery. During the same period we
also have three practical workshops to meet varying faculty interests.
This mix of presentations and hands-on workshops continues
through the day. Several will be of special interest to anyone
involved in training new faculty or retraining faculty for online
courses (presentations from @ONE and 4Faculty). There will
be a presentation on videoconferencing with continuing demonstrations,
a discussion of the new combination of instructional
television and web-based material, and a number of practical workshops
presented by both faculty innovators and
representatives from various companies involved in the educational
market.
Altogether we have five sessions, with the last being a demo
of techniques for online instruction by a team of five instructors
from different districts. There should be something for everyone,
and to make things easier for those forced with some hard
choices about which session to attend we will have a CD available
with material provided by the presenters.
Above all we encourage everyone to spend some quality time
in our exhibition hall. The companies present have helped make
this event possible, and you are sure to find some new ideas about
what to use in your own classroom.
Conference Goals

Hybrid courses are defined as those in which some instruction
is in the classroom and some is provided online. Examples of
districts offering such courses are Glendale and Rio Hondo (see
these links for specific courses in each district). LACCD
currently does not have such offerings.
With changes in Title 5 that further blur the distinction between
in-class and online instruction, it is likely that the number
of
such courses will increase greatly, and many college adminstrators
and faculty need to know how to develop and maintain these
courses. In this workshop Deborah Ludford, acting Dean of Information
and Technology Services at Glendale Community
College, and John Clerx, Senior Director of Instructional and
Student Services for LACCD, will discuss the issues involved and
invite questions from those attending.

Tech 2 and the State
Funding Crisis
LeBaron Woodyard CCCCO 916.323.4277 Dean of Instructional Resources
and Technology for the California Community Colleges
(http://www.tipsnews.org/newsletter/97-12/tech_plan2.html)
4Faculty.org
and online training of new teachers
Krisina Kauffman, email:kristina@rccd.cc.ca.us
Kristina Kauffman is the director of the 4Faculty project, explained
on its webpage this way:
Riverside Community College in collaboration with eight California
Community Colleges has won both the prestigious Fund for
Improvement of Post-Secondary Education and California Community
College Chancellor's Office Fund for Student Success grant
to better serve new adjunct faculty and to promote the success
of their students.
From its abstract we learn this:
Nine Community Colleges (or districts) have formed a collaborative
partnership to improve the quality of first time faculty teaching
and
involve new adjunct faculty quickly and more fully in their campus
communities by providing a detailed online course in teaching,
state
education code issues, and college policies. The course will be
available the moment a new faculty member is hired and will provide
assistance and support as first lessons are planned. This effort
will translate into improved first impressions, enhanced teaching,
higher
retention rates, and greater student success.
The course and follow-up face-to-face workshops will employ
the interactive, learner-centered techniques faculty need to use.
It will also
demonstrate the effective use of technology, thereby helping to
reduce the "digital divide" among faculty members who
understand the
value of technology and those who do not. Issues will be addressed
in the order faculty typically confront them.
Designed for use by several districts, all California Community
Colleges can easily adapt the model as they face the same problems
and state
education code. Outside California, the web-based components can
be used as models, saving other districts time and avoiding the
need to
"reinvent the wheel."
Although initially designed to offer adjunct faculty a chance
to learn more about their own campus and about best practices
in
the classroom, it is a program that also can be used to develop
the skills of new regular faculty (and maybe even teach some old
dogs new tricks). Currently the project is expanding to include
more community colleges in California. Kristina will explain
how the project works and what is involved for new colleges to
come on board.
We are in the process of completing an application for a new FSS
grant. If awarded it would:
Extend 4faculty to all community colleges in California next
year for FREE!
Create a 4leaders course
Create 4staff resources
Build closer collaborations among Teaching and Learning Centers
Support the important work of 4C/SD
Provide a host of web services for professional development.
In the 2nd and 3rd year there will be a sliding scale fee,
based on per student funding from the state. Those committing
now will not pay more than $3,500 in 2003 - 2004, and $4,500 in
2004-2005. This offer includes all these features for just
$1,000 more than what most colleges were planning to pay for 4faculty
alone. If other grant, corporate or foundation
sources provide resources the cost will be lower.
I have attached the DRAFT of the grant. Many of you are mentioned
by name or college in the DRAFT. I welcome
your input and hope you are interested in participating. If you
are not interested I would appreciate knowing that as well.
We hope to build a solid consortium of key individuals and
colleges. If your college would like to join us, please send
an e-mail to that effect before March 20th, and overnight a letter
from your President or their designee. The last
page of the DRAFT contains a sample letter your president can
copy, edit slightly and use.
If your college is a current participate in 4faculty we will need
a new letter to join this larger project.
Please forward to anyone you think may be interested.
The grant must be in the mail by March 25th. Grant

Omniupdate -software
for creating and maintaining faculty web pages
Lance Merker (CEO, OmniUpdate e-Education Solutions)
Proposed OmniUpdate Presentation for Tech and Publishers’
Expo 2002
Lance Merker CEO, WebsiteASP will introduce himself and discuss
the evolution of the company to OmniUpdate e-Education
Solutions. Lance has presented at TechEd and CVC events as well
as at Web Content Management Conferences. Solutions
have been used by higher educational institutions such as: Copper
Mountain Community College, Cal State University Long
Beach, the Community College Foundation, and the LACCD.
Using OmniUpdate Technology to Improve Faculty-Student Communication
OU Educate provides faculty with the freedom to easily create
personalized web content to facilitate and advance their
academic mission. Faculty members are often frustrated with the
limitations of current course-management tools available and
the difficulty in using them. As a stand-alone solution, or as
a supplement to existing Course Management Systems, faculty will
improve their teacher-student communication and provide better
classroom support by creating and maintaining their own web
pages.
This workshop will include a demonstration of OU Educate’s
ability to enable faculty to create and maintain web content
without any html or programming while achieving the following
benefits:
Faster Updates. Information is always up-to-date for students,
as faculty can use the system 24/7 from anywhere with
Internet access.
A tool that’s easy to use. Faculty can easily create and
maintain web pages with a familiar toolbar that’s as easy-to-use
as
a word processor, without over burdening the IT staff.
Flexibility. OU Educate gives new meaning to “Academic Freedom”
by giving non-technical faculty the ability to build
their own web-based teaching tools that don’t have to comply
with the pre-existing restrictions or limitations imposed by
other systems. OU Educate allows free creation and doesn’t
force faculty to fit their content into pre-determined formats.
Templates are available and customizable, but are not mandatory.
Help with compliance of ADA section 508. Automatic prompts from
all OU systems improve compliance with ADA
section 508!
Minimal training = High user acceptance rate. Because the system
is so intuitive and requires only minimal training, OU
Educate has a high user acceptance rate. Even the most non-technical
faculty will quickly embrace OU Educate.
Eliminate the bottleneck with an affordable solution. When the
faculty can update and create web content, it
de-centralizes the work and eliminates the web-maintenance bottleneck
saving hours of coordination and production time,
and usually saves money.
Save money by leveraging existing resources. The burden on your
IT staff and need for additional technical personnel is
reduced while you leverage your existing non-technical resources.
Maintain consistency and standards. Customized page templates
are available to help maintain consistency, standards,
and web design integrity.
OmniUpdate solutions are browser-based systems so they work with
your existing sites and systems. Seamless implementation
can occur in as little as a few days. There are no hidden costs
for additional software, capital equipment, or installation. Easy
to
implement, maintain and support.

The "web project" and the use
of web teaching tools
or "from CSUN to Oxnard in less than one generation".
History
of the web project
The web project orignally started at CSUN in 1995- with
Director John Hartzog, and virtual
CSUN or vcsun.org, Teachers first at Cal State Northridge,
and then at the Community Colleges (Santa Monica, Mission College,
and others) started to obtain webpages on the vcsun.org server
and learned how to create simple webpages with links to their
syllabus, assignments, tests and quizzes
However, the web project was much more. The project relied upon
the concepts of John Hartzog, its able director, and his strong
belief in "freeware", and that the "Best
Wares in Life are Free". Three ("free") webtools
for teaching were developed by the webproject, hypernews
("threaded discussions"), quizmaker
(now located at discovery.com), and
irc = internet relay chat ("chat"). From 1995 to
2000, the webproject conducted web
teaching workshops and trained Community College faculty at
L.A. City College, Moorpark, Mission, College of the Canyons,
Onxard, and Ventura in the use of the web teaching tools.
Online teaching is a collaborative endevour. In November of 1999,
CSUN held a Regional Conferenece "Virtual
Visions" on webteaching, and faculty trained on the free
web teaching tools introduced the use of the free tools, and gave
examples of "best
practices" for each tool, and how to use it in the classroom.
Each instructor who uses the web teaching tools seems to develop
their own "unique"
use and application of these powerful tools.
The Web Project Today
The webproject is "alive and well" at Oxnard
Community College, in large part, through the combined efforts
of John Hartzog, and Scott
Corbett. and now is located at Oxnard Community College. One
of the new exciting projects being developed is the Oxnard
Library Adult Literacy Project by Sheryl Thompson.
