Workgroup Report (8/18/14):
Canvas LMS implementation
Completed (With the exception of Skagit - all community colleges are on Canvas or in process of migrating. Of the 4 year schools, WSU and Evergreen remain on other platforms).
Common system-wide eLearning platforms established across the state.
Lecture capture tool RFP (Panopto) - contract signed
new online learning readiness tool (Smarter Measure) - Demos requested, more information needed before pursuing RFP. Perhaps also investigate Open products.
new plagiarism detection tool (Turnitin) - Too expensive for many schools to pursue (even with bulk consortium purchase). It is a devisive issue on other campuses. Our recommendation is that each school pursue Turnitin independently as desired.
3. Share training activities and list Colleges’ training completers for the state-wide systems.
Shared Google training calendar among the system
"Completed training" list available on SBCTC Integration page
Shared courses in repository
Webinars
Coming soon: BADGES!
4. Support for system-wide use of Quality Matters and Sloan-C licensed resources.
System-wide use of Quality Matters is in place.
System-wide use of Sloan-C is winding down. Contract ends in June.
5. Create a "Best Practices in Online Facilitation" rubric to complement QM's design rubric .
Google Doc of system-wide best practice for online created - still need responses by members.

5. Create a "Best Practices in Online Facilitation" rubric to complement QM's design rubric and fill the gap between instruction and design.
Workgroup Report (Oct 2013):
1)We recommend NOT defining tools within the scope of eLearning, as these tools support all learning.
2) We recommend that a "best practices in facilitation" guide/rubric (like QM is a design rubric) be created to provide a standard of facilitation expected across the state.
QM sets a clear standard for design of quality courses. The gap exists in setting a clear standard of facilitation. A facilitation rubric provides individuals and institutions with the ability to design training of their own or directly apply the rubric to their own teaching.
This recommendation aligns with IC Council's workplan Goal 3, Objective 3.2 "Support and improve high quality eLearning for students including online, hybrid, and enhanced courses that improves teaching and learning".
3) Continue with current statewide initiatives including: LMS, Lecture capture, desktop conferencing, and other learning support tools.
