Professional readiness will initially be assessed based on initial evaluation of instruction.
Instructors will volunteer to participate in this pilot study.
Implementation and participants will expand as time progresses.
What is already in place?
- BuckeyeBox: Cloud Storage
- OSU App
- Computer labs and Digital Unions
- Discounted pricing on tablets, laptops, etc. through TechHub.
What needs to be done?
- Provide devices for students who can provide documentation that they (a) don't have one or (b) cannot financially afford to purchase one
Cont'd
- Work with BuckeyeBox to (a) increase cloud space, (b) provide a secure and local backup of the data, and (c) provide access to all students.
Cont'd
- Work with ODEE to develop a Social Media and Acceptable Use Policy that is specific to mobile and cloud based courses.
Cont'd
- Provide workshops and training to instructors who volunteer to teach pilot courses. Focus on resources such as u.osu.edu, iTunesU, BuckeyeBox, and the use of the OSU app.
Within 5 years, each College will have at minimum 1 mobile/cloud based course.
Courses will be on-boarded at a rate of three per year to allow for the proper distribution of resources.
App and site metrics will be analyzed three times per semester.
SEIs will continued to be completed at the end of the semester.
Feedback will be solicited from faculty members three times per semester on the same schedule as analytics.
Professional development for faculty will begin 6 months prior to implementation.
ODEE and each College prepare press releases, detailing their plans for mobile computing integration.
