Undergraduate
In general, use Blackboard for all undergraduate distance learning courses and web-assisted classes
You complete a form at the ITSS site to request a Blackboard course shell.
You do not need to use the template provided by ITSS for course creation. There are more elegant styles of course management.
![Page 5: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Undergraduate Platform – Blackboard
ITSS will ask you to back the course up yourself and you are responsible for doing this!
Blackboard multimedia servers cannot be accessed directly
Using Impatica!

eCollege
Used for web courses and web assistance at the graduate level
There is a “backcharge” to the student for eCourses
Web assists with eCompanion are free
![Page 7: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How do I identify the nature of my course(web assist vs other types of courses)?
![Page 8: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A class is fully online if …
There is no tyranny of time or space. Students never have to come to campus
All materials can be completed through the course shell
![Page 9: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A class is web-assisted if …
The primary location of the class is the classroom
The web platform is used to supplement or communicate in between class meetings.
The test: if the platform disappeared, could the class continue?

Other distance learning forms
The hybrid course – some in class, some web-based activity. Designated as mixed mode on the registrar’s listing
Web-assisted “synchronous” classroom using Video-OIP classrooms on multiple campuses
![Page 11: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Codes
All distance learning courses whether UG or Graduate have special codes that give the registering student information
![Page 12: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Additional elements of a distance learning syllabus
All the details must be spelled out for each unit including where to submit assignments
Groups need to be formed without face-to-face interaction. Students need to be informed of the process and what tools they can use for group-work.
![Page 15: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Additional elements of a distance learning syllabus
Multiple communication tools need to be used to supplement information in the syllabus (students cannot read, really!!)
![Page 16: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Faculty-student interaction
The good, the bad, and the ugly

![Page 21: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Discussion board
Use forums to organize discussions. Designate general forums for
course-organization issues. Do remind students of proper
discussion board etiquette. Recommendation: Do not permit
anonymous postings
![Page 22: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Groups
Understand that students in a group may not be able to work synchronously.
Establish group discussion forums.
![Page 23: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Testing and evaluation
Special issues in distance learning
![Page 24: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Testing
Testing, in general Subjective assessments Objective assessments
![Page 25: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Testing, in general
Announce the coverage, format, rules, and the Honor Code in advance of any assessment.
Treat every assessment as “open book”.
Use assessments as part of the learning process.
![Page 26: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Testing, cont.
Use several different types of assessments.
Use assessments that require the application of knowledge.
Make the course content dynamic.
![Page 27: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Subjective assessments
Get a writing sample of the student at the beginning of the semester.
Use Turnitin® for essay exams. Be sure to disclosure on the
Syllabus that you will be using Turnitin® [FAU rule].
Use questions that require personal input or are individualized.
![Page 28: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Objective assessments
Draw from a large pool of questions or software that creates unique questions.
Use a time limit. Do not allow back-tracking. Randomize questions. Add dynamic content (e..g, current
events; specific discussion events).
![Page 29: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Final exam scheduling
You can only offer the final exam during the final exam week; Including the weekend before final
exam week appears to be a reasonable accommodation for students who work full-time during the week.
You cannot span the Reading Day in your final exam period.
![Page 30: Distance Learning Peggy Golden & Pamela Peterson Drake.](https://reader036.fdocument.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db55503460f94aa71c2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Final exam scheduling
If you do not give a final exam, you must continue running the class during the final exam week.
There is no specified exam time for a DL course, so it is not reasonable to specify a small (e.g., 2 or 3 hour) window for the exam.
