June 18 General Session: Continuous Improvement in Teaching and Learning: The Community College Open Learning Initiative

Moderated by Allison Powell, Vice President of iNACOL What better way to learn about which directions online education should take than hearing directly from the students themselves? A panel of online students from schools across California will explore virtual schools, online learning and their vision of the future. They will discuss ways to overcome the largest challenges in education and how best to take advantage of new opportunities afforded by online learning and advances in technology. Audience participation will be both welcomed and encouraged. Get inspired by new ways of thinking about online learning.

By Candace Thille, Director of the Open Learning Initiative (OLI) at Carnegie Mellon University Using intelligent tutoring systems, virtual laboratories, simulations, and frequent feedback, the Community College-Open Learning Initiative (CC-OLI) builds open and free learning environments that support continuous improvement in teaching and learning. CC-OLI is a development and research collaboration among Carnegie Mellon University and community colleges across the country. We will discuss how you can use these free web-based learning environments to support your teaching and your students learning and how faculty and colleges across the country can participate in the development, adaptation and evaluation of these environments.
