The target audience for this guide is online instructors and provides protocol for teaching online. Policies Distance Learning pedagogy and processes may vary from face-to-face practices. LIT employees who choose to teach an online section must comply with the Distance Learning Instructor Handbook. Employees who do not comply with this handbook will not be allowed to teach an online section. Accreditation Lamar Institute of Technology (LIT) received approval in 2010 and 2011 from the Southern Association of Colleges (sacs) to offer several programs online. This increase in online courses/programs mandates the need for a set of LIT guidelines documenting standards and protocol for students and instructors engaged in online learning. The Distance Learning Instructor Handbook documents guidelines to meet sacs commitments, provides information for new online instructors, and supplies a guide for reporting policy and procedure expectations. Distance Learning Structure The following organization chart identifies those individuals and offices responsible for the oversight of the Lamar Institute of Technology Distance Learning mission statement. LAMAR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY OFFICE OF DISTANCE LEARNING INSTRUCTOR HANDBOOK Page 9 documentation is stored in the Office of Distance Learning. See Detailed Course Design Review & Approval Process, page 24. Students are given the opportunity to evaluate every course at LIT, including online courses. Two surveys exist: Student Rating of Teaching Effectiveness and Online Course Additional Survey Questions. Online courses utilize both evaluations. Survey information is analyzed and summarized by the Coordinator of Institutional Effectiveness and Grants separately and within the overall institution evaluation results. The Online Course Additional Survey Questions are utilized for the instructor evaluation and the course design/instruction periodic review. See Online Course Additional Survey Questions, page 37. The objectives in the syllabus must include the associated Workforce Education Course Manual (WECM) or Academic Course Guide Manual (ACGM) objectives. Any deviation from this must be approved by the Curriculum Review Team with the exception of the addition of objectives approved by the Program Director/Coordinator and/or Department Chair. See sample Online Syllabus, page 25. Instructors will also include a semester syllabus addendum, updated for each semester of use, which includes, but is not limited to: • Instructor Contact Information • Instructor Office Hours • Course Lecture Schedule • Course Assignment Schedule See sample Syllabus Addendum, page 30. Course Design & Review LIT Online courses must meet the requirements specified on the Online Course Quality Checklist, pg. 32. The LIT Online Course Quality Checklist consists of the following sections:  Overall Course Design The overall course design is segmented for cognitive learning and contains essential elements for an effective online course. LAMAR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY OFFICE OF DISTANCE LEARNING INSTRUCTOR HANDBOOK Page 10  Course Orientation The course orientation helps the students familiarize themselves with the learning environment and sets the stage for social, cognitive and teacher presence.  Course Content The course content aligns with the course objectives, meets various learning styles, engages the students and uses technology accessible by all online students.  Instructional Design Alignment Based on Mager’s theory and Bloom’s Taxonomy, objectives must align with course content and the appropriate level of assessment. See the Alignment Grid and Blooms Taxonomy Diagram, page 36. Two peer reviews are completed with an additional approval by the Office of Distance Learning and the VP of Academic Affairs. Assessments Lamar Institute of Technology takes academic integrity seriously. Cheating is not tolerated! For further information, reference the Lamar Institute of Technology Policies and Procedures Manual (Policy 2.2.1) and the Lamar Institute of Technology Catalog & Student Handbook (Academic Dishonesty). Course design considerations are necessary to maintain academic integrity. Recommendations include: varying the assessment method, maximizing the usage of technology settings, and proctoring exams. See the Testing Online Proctoring Form, page 43. ADA Statement It is the policy of Lamar Institute of Technology that all official information is accessible to users. The Institute maintains compliance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the American Disabilities Act of 1990; 2008 revised. Students with diagnosed disabilities must make an appointment with the Special Populations Coordinator (409) 880-1737 or (409) 839-2001. The Special Populations Office is located in the student services office in the Cecil Beeson building. All distance education is subject to the general requirements of this chapter as well. Distance education means instruction in which the instructor and student LAMAR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY OFFICE OF DISTANCE LEARNING INSTRUCTOR HANDBOOK Page 11 are separated by distance and interact through the assistance of communication technology. Online classes must fulfill the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. These requirements include media, formatting, alternate descriptions, colors, tables, html coding, and image maps. Ownership of Materials Lamar Institute of Technology policy is based on “co-ownership” of course materials. Upon leaving LIT, the instructor must leave all course materials and allow LIT to continue to use the materials. The Instructor is allowed to take the materials with them and utilize the materials without the LIT logo. STUDENT REQUIREMENTS Program/Course Requirements Online students must meet the same campus/program requirements and will receive the same degree as on campus students. Prior to registering for an online course, students should take the “Is Distance Learning Right for Me” orientation / assessment located on the LIT Website under Distance Education, Orientation for Online Courses. Online Course Fees When registering for courses, students are notified that if they register for an online course they may accrue additional fees. Students taking online courses are charged an additional technology fee. Students taking only online courses may request reimbursement for the Student Center Fee, Health Center Fee, and the Recreational Sports Center Fee through the Cashier’s Office. Possible additional fees and requirements unique to an online course are specified in the syllabus for the online section. Last Date of Attendance (LDA) Reporting In a distance education context, documenting that a student has logged into an online class is not sufficient, by itself, to demonstrate academic attendance by the student. A school must demonstrate that a student participated in class or was LAMAR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY OFFICE OF DISTANCE LEARNING INSTRUCTOR HANDBOOK Page 14 Upon the completion of each semester, the courses for that completed semester will be made unavailable to the student. The instructor will still have access and may opt to make the course(s) available again to students. LMS Roster Loading Lamar Institute of Technology - Technology Services will load students from the Student Information System (Banner) to the Campus LMS. The load schedule will be requested through the helpdesk from the Office of Distance Learning when schedule building is complete. Load dates will be provided within the help desk request. Classes, not students, will be loaded promptly after the completion of schedule building. Instructors must set up their courses by starting fresh or by copying from a master course or previous semester course. Classes added to Banner after the completion of schedule building, will be built within Blackboard after receiving a helpdesk request from the department chair, or departmental administrative assistant. Students will be loaded, at a minimum, once a day starting two days prior to the start of the semester until the official last day of registration. Fully online instructors must make their courses available for students two days prior to the start of the semester. LMS Class Roster Instructors must reconcile their Blackboard User list with the Banner Roster published on the census date. The Academic Calendar contains the specific census date and is defined as shown below. Banner contains the official roster.

LAMAR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY OFFICE OF DISTANCE LEARNING INSTRUCTOR HANDBOOK Page 16 APPENDIX Glossary  Traditional Class: A class that physically meets face-to-face at the following campuses: LIT, Silsbee, AGC (Associated General Contractors) and/or the Fire Grounds.  Web Enhanced: Web Enhanced courses are offered 100% on campus (Traditional Format) and utilize online materials to complement the on ground instruction.  Hybrid Courses: Hybrid courses are designed so students attend classes in a traditional face to face format and an online format. Greater than 50% of the course is offered on campus (Traditional Format). An online component substituting for a portion of the traditional on campus classroom time is offered utilizing a Learning Management System (i.e., Blackboard).  Online Class: A class that meets greater than 50% online through a LIT approved online management system (i.e., Blackboard). An online course may require proctoring within a certified testing center.  Online Exams: Exams administered in an online format (i.e. Blackboard) for students from LIT and other colleges/universities. Online courses may contain a requirement for a paper/pencil exam to be completed in a certified proctoring center.  Last Date of Attendance (LDA) reporting for online courses: In a distance education context, documenting that a student has logged into an online class is not sufficient, by itself, to demonstrate academic attendance by the student. A school must demonstrate that a student participated in class or was otherwise engaged in an academically related activity, such as by contributing to an online discussion or initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a course-related question. Academically related activities include but are not limited to:  physically attending a class where there is an opportunity for direct interaction between the instructor and students;  submitting an academic assignment;  taking an exam, an interactive tutorial or computer-assisted instruction;  attending a study group that is assigned by the school;  participating in an online discussion about academic matters; and  initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a question about the academic subject studied in the course.

Initial Approval Date: 12/14/2012 Course Reviewed: DORI 0200 Members Present  Robin Lisk Director – Distance Education  Jason Woodall Instructional Designer – Distance Education  Michelle Davis Department Chair - GEDS  Leigh Smith DORI Coordinator Agenda Items 1. Goals of the Meeting (presented by Robin Lisk)  Review the course materials and the items listed below, reviewing the course not the instructor.  Maintain review data / feedback confidentiality 2. Reviewed Student Survey Results: See Attachment A, page: The overall survey data is outstanding! The reviewers discussed the items that were below 80%. SRTE (4): The course is general interesting The following are group comments:  Adding interesting discussion threads to the class.  The instructors should make an announcement at least every two weeks.  Good use of online office hours. Michelle will follow up with the instructors on the above suggestions. SRTE (18) The Instructor is reliable in meeting the class One section scored significantly pulled down the survey results. The general consensus was that this score is low in the one section because it was a section d that was added at the last minute, or the wording of the question is odd for online courses. The more relevant question is SRTE (16): The Instructor is available for help and advice. The Overall rating was 96%, OUTSTANDING!. LAMAR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY OFFICE OF DISTANCE LEARNING INSTRUCTOR HANDBOOK Page 45 3. Reviewed Grade Distribution: The upside down bell curve and the higher number of “Fs” is the typical results for general education LIT courses. No concerns here. Good Job! Online sections and on ground sections have a similar grade distribution. 4. Syllabus on the LIT Website The syllabi for all online sections are no longer on the LIT website (www.lit.edu). Michelle Davis is going to look into this and make a determination on if this requirement changed or if there was a mishap with the updated website. The syllabus used in the course is the correct syllabus. 5. Course File The course file is complete and the minutes will be added to the file. 6. Instructor Presence in Class Suggest the following to increase instructor presence and build more student community.  Create more discussion threads  Make an announcement at least every two weeks. 7. Reviewed Test Itemization Results: Overall very good! Suggest removing the question related to meeting with a counselor since LIT does not have a counselor. The meeting adjourned at 2:00 pm.
