Welcome Letters
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the 18th Annual Sloan-C International Conference on Online Learning. This years theme is At a Crossroads: Online Education in a Complex World. This has been a year of significant change in online education. Our academic work is evolving in a complex world and the conference reflects that shift. Our traditional online learning efforts continue to grow and we are seeing the interest and adoption of online learning at private research universities. We are also witnessing rapid changes through the introduction of Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and the media and marketplace attention on these activities. There is a higher level of discourse regarding online learning in education than we have ever experienced. Understanding how people learn in these settings, how to support faculty, how to provide effective student services, how to increase access, and options for managing costs are crucial. With more than 6 million online learners in the US, we must prepare for additional growth and innovation with significant resource constraints. Faculty and students are counting on us, but how can we keep pace? We hope this years conference will provide a variety of perspectives that promote new understanding of the questions that confront us. We could not be more delighted with the outstanding lineup of our keynote and plenary speakers. Each of them have unique insights on online education and the complex world of education. Our keynote address by Sebastian Thrun, CEO of Udacity and Director of Google X, will provide fascinating insight into MOOCs and how they might change the world of higher education. Our opening plenary panel, facilitated by Jeff Young from the Chronicle of Higher Education will include: Jos Cruz, Vice President of the Education Trust, Alan Drimmer, Provost and Executive Vice President from the University of Phoenix, and Jack Wilson, President Emeritus, The University of Massachusetts. They will explore current trends and issues in online education and how our higher education institutions (public, private and for-profit) are responding. And our plenary address on Friday, by Arfon Smith, Director of Citizen Science at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, will highlight the worlds largest online science collaboration. With more than 350 sessions this years conference promises to be the most extensive in our history. We had outstanding proposals for our information sessions this year, and we are sure you will be pleased with our regular program as well as the Best-in-Track presentations selected by our track chairs. We believe that the theme and speakers we have identified are essential and we look forward to your contributions as well. The forums for participation include both face-to-face and online modes. Our venue, the award-winning Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin promises to be a great location to the foster conversation, interaction, and fun at this years event. Welcome and enjoy! Peter Shea, Conference Chair Eric Fredericksen, Program Chair

TRACKS AT A GLANCE
Research continues to show the important role online faculty play in student learning, yet many faculty members come to higher education without training on pedagogy and practice in the area of online and blended learning. As online learning increasingly expands into corporate training, military training and education, workforce initiatives and professional certification programs, alternative pedagogical approaches have emerged. This track is designed to explore the wide range of evolving pedagogical models, practices, case studies and institutional strategies that inform those models.
Open, Global, Mobile (new track for 2012)

This track seeks contributions on research and practice that discuss emerging trends in the internationalization of online education, creative uses of open education, and the un-tethering of learners from place-based computing. We are especially interested in the growth and evolution of online education in the developing world, cross border education, and effective international partnerships. Proposals that focus on online education in Latin America are of special interest. Contributions that examine open educational resources, open models of education, massive open online courses and recent advances in assessing and credentialing learning outside the traditional university framework are encouraged. Finally, proposals that look at new forms of mobile learning - especially models of mobility that intersect with and support openness and international efforts are welcome in this track.
K-12 Online Education

The 2009 U.S. Department of Education Evaluation of Evidencebased Practices noted the dearth of rigorous studies into online learning at K-12 levels. Nevertheless, online learning is exploding across the K-12 sector. Over 1.5 million K-12 learners are taking online courses every year. In 2009 alone, online enrollments at state virtual schools increased by 40%. The range of models, modes and concerns for implementing online learning in the K-12 sector encompasses issues that are both the same and very different from those experienced in post-secondary education. Learner development/independence, parental roles, administrative structures, state regulations and instructional standards, to name just a few, pose and prescribe significantly different responses for curriculum designers, teachers and education leaders.

Student services are critical to the support of learning at any institution of higher education. When programs move online, student services need to be re-conceived in ways that are not always obvious. Papers submitted to this track should focus on issues surrounding the provision of student services to online and/ or blended learners.

Online learning is one way that higher education institutions are responding to social change and the changing expectations society has for higher education. Online learning is transforming all aspects of higher education including teaching, student services, finance, and administration, impacting and challenging the underlying values of the academy. Institutions and institutional leaders are designing new structures to deal with the opportunities and challenges online learning affords.

Online learning is evolving to include multiple blended approaches, new media for Online learning is evolving to include multiple blended approaches, new media for online learning, and new kinds of learning environments. The existence of new learning environments has a multitude of consequences - curricular, administrative, and pedagogic - as well as impacts on cognition - both individual and cultural habits of mind . Additionally, changes in learning environments have consequences for what it means to be literate. This track invites papers that investigate each of these areas.
Online learning is reaching a more mature stage in development and evaluation in which comparative research is being replaced by research explaining learning effectiveness and theory development. Papers submitted to this track should reflect this with a focus on theory and/or research-based approaches to the design and delivery of online or blended learning.

Democratizing Higher Education
Southern Hemisphere I-V October 11, 2012 8:50 a.m. 9:50 a.m. Sebastian Thrun (Udacity, Google, US) Online higher education has a long history, but seems to be always good for surprises. In 2011, the speaker took his Stanford graduate level class online, and 160,000 students signed up. 23,000 graduated at Stanford level. Underlying this class was a teaching model that emphasizes student engagement, problem solving, and free online access. The speaker recently created Udacity, a new online university, which offers university-level courses free of charge. With half a dozen courses underway, Udacity has enrolled north of 200,000 students. The speaker will discuss details of this approach, the underlying pedagogical ideas, the ramification this work may have for the students in the world. Keynote Address Sponsored by:

Citizen Science - Authentic Participation in Research
Arfon Smith is Director of Citizen Science at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago and Technical Lead of the web-based citizen zcience platform Zooniverse (http://www.zooniverse.org). He leads a team of developers, educators and scientists who build citizen science projects across a range of disciplines including solar physics, papyrology and biodiversity. He gained a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry in 2001 from the University of Sheffield and then went on to study for a PhD in Astrochemistry from The University of Nottingham (2006). After completing his PhD he worked as a senior software developer in the production software group at The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge (UK), the facility that made the largest single contribution to the original gold standard sequence of the human genome. In 2008 he joined the Zooniverse team at University of Oxford as Technical Lead and has coordinated the development of more than 20 citizen science projects and grown the Zooniverse community to more than 650,000 volunteers.
Southern Hemisphere I-V October 12, 2012 8:50 a.m. 9:50 a.m. Arfon Smith (Citizen Science-Adler Planetarium, US) In July 2007 faced with a an overwhelming amount of data to analyze, a group of astronomers launched a website and asked members of the public for their help. Five years later Galaxy Zoo (http://www.galaxyzoo.org) 400,000 members of the public have between them produced more than 150 million galaxy shape classifications leading to more than 35 peer-reviewed publications. Rather than only contribute to the core project, a number of community volunteers began collaborations between themselves and directly with professional academics resulting in a number of additional research publications. In a survey of the original Galaxy Zoo participants, a contribution to research was citied as the primary motivation for volunteering and this led to the creation of Zooniverse, an online platform for research-focussed citizen science. Today, the Zooniverse has more than 650,000 participants worldwide contributing to more than 10 different citizen science projects. The goal of the Zooniverse is to design web-based citizen science experiences that are both suitable for a broad audience but also facilitate community led discovery as happened in Galaxy Zoo. Public participation as a core part of the research process is an inherently open and authentic way to engage the public. In this presentation Ill spend some time outlining how the Zooniverse has gone about growing the number of research domains soliciting the help of citizen scientists. Join us for the Friday Plenary and be eligible to win 2 free conference registrations to the 2013 conference. Two door prize drawingsl (2 sets of 2) will take place at the end of the plenary session, compliments of Gold Sponsors Bisk Education and The Learning House.

This workshop is a follow-up to the engaging 2011 session at ALN and will provide an update on the broader state authorization challenge, recent and important court decisions, the establishment of a national commission and, most importantly, the creation of a national reciprocal model. That model, called SARA (State Authorization Reciprocal Agreement), outlines a plan that can radically change the state authorization process for both institutions and states. What could it mean for your institution? How will it work? Is SARA your state authorization sweetheart? Join a panel that includes participants involved in each of these major initiatives and a national legal expert in state authorization to learn more about what can be expected in the coming months. In this interactive session, participants will have the opportunity to offer questions and to create scenarios to help guide their institutional activities.

10 Faculty Perspectives on What Works in Lecture Capture

I was concerned that streaming courses may encourage absenteeism but the attendance has been 100 percent, and they are all viewing the lecture as well. I think that is remarkable. It tells me the students are interested in going back for learning purposes.
Dr. Imran Currim Chancellors Professor of Marketing The Paul Merage School of Business University of California, Irvine
insight on projects and ask provoking questions.

Dr. Douglas Montgomery Regents Professor Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering Arizona State University
The fact that we use Mediasite for students to do practice interviews, role playing, peer critiques, self and faculty assessments helps our students stand out against other job candidates. Of our students who go into the workforce, the job placement approaches 100 percent.
Deirdre Jones Associate Director and Instructor Schmidt School of Professional Sales University of Toledo
Course offerings are very intense and highly visual. Using Mediasite our students end up sitting at the equivalent of an actual dental chair with a front row seat. They can go back into the lecture capture to a point thats important to them, and have the faculty member, who has just finished doing the demonstration, right there to answer their questions.
Dr. James Craig Professor and Educational Consultant School of Dentistry University of Maryland, Baltimore
Im getting extremely positive feedback. We have the person speaking in one window and the slides very clearly presented and in sync in the other window. Mediasite has been absolutely integral to us delivering this seminar series to a worldwide audience.

When youre getting ready to stream a class, your success is going to depend on your attitude. If you come into it thinking this is going to be pain and suffering, its going to be a frustrating experience. If you come into it with a more positive attitude, you will have a rewarding experience and grow as an instructor.
Dr. Anne-Marie Lerner Assistant Professor , School of Engineering Univeristy of Wisconsin Platteville
Heres what I call hybrid teaching. I record a Mediasite lecture and ask students to view it as homework. Then when they come to class, we use that time to engage in active dialogue versus having just a couple of minutes to answer questions at the end. Having an active discussion is an effective and really appealing way to teach.
Dr. Christina Eyers Assistant Professor Central Michigan University
I could not promote deep learning in the way that I do without Mediasite lecture capture. Im using video streaming for mentoring messages, for coaching and for lectures themselves.

However, only 2% of students selected an e-book as the primary way to access content (BISG - Faculty Attitudes, 2012). BISG found that instructors were not assigning digital formats unless they had thoroughly implemented an integrated learning system or were participating in a textbook affordability pilot.CourseSmart will share effective practices for developing your digital strategy, and offer insight into various influences driving the adoption of digital course materials.

Citizen Science - Authentic Participation in Research
Southern Hemisphere I-V October 12, 2012 - 8:50am Plenary Session Arfon Smith (Citizen Science-Adler Planetarium, US) In July 2007 faced with a an overwhelming amount of data to analyze, a group of astronomers launched a website and asked members of the public for their help. Five years later Galaxy Zoo (http://www.galaxyzoo.org) 400,000 members of the public have between them produced more than 150 million galaxy shape classifications leading to more than 35 peer-reviewed publications. Rather than only contribute to the core project, a number of community volunteers began collaborations between themselves and directly with professional academics resulting in a number of additional research publications. In a survey of the original Galaxy Zoo participants, a contribution to research was citied as the primary motivation for volunteering and this led to the creation of Zooniverse, an online platform for research-focussed citizen science. Today, the Zooniverse has more than 650,000 participants worldwide contributing to more than 10 different citizen science projects. The goal of the Zooniverse is to design webbased citizen science experiences that are both suitable for a broad audience but also facilitate community led discovery as happened in Galaxy Zoo. Public participation as a core part of the research process is an inherently open and authentic way to engage the public. In this presentation Ill spend some time outlining how the Zooniverse has gone about growing the number of research domains soliciting the help of citizen scientists. | | ML | All
