CSUF ALS Steering Project:
Key Project Milestones
•
•
•
•
•
Campus steering committee meets
Campus website collaboratively developed
Website reviewed by steering committee
Faculty advisory board “road-show”
Trainings to be developed based upon road
show feedback
• Revisions to website and posted material
ongoing
CSUF: What’s Working Well
• Shared information from collaborative team =
campus website
• “Did you know” campaign
• Peer to peer presentations (faculty to faculty within
each college)
• “Incentives” for information sessions (snacks)
• Key talking points, but no formal presentation
• Website used as key support for information
sharing
• Asking, not assuming, about future training topics
• Dedicated and diverse leadership team
CSUF: What’s Not Working as Well as
We Would Like
• Peer to peer presentations via open forum
• Firm timelines—flexible schedule found to be
beneficial especially when accommodating
department meetings
• Student membership on committee unstable
• Roadshow faculty may need to defer to committee
experts for specific questions and can’t do so “on the
spot”
• How to institutionalize the project website after
grant funding ends (webmaster, fact checker, etc.)
• CSUF Affordable Course Materials Expo – low
attendance by faculty
CSUF ALS Project: What’s Next?
• Continue information forums
• Develop trainings for needs identified at
information forums
• Deliver trainings and obtain feedback
• Ongoing revisions to website; add live tally
for $$ saved
• Continue to evaluate and expand pilot
projects while adding to campus showcase
CSUF College of Education: Project
Showcase
• Need to prepare future teachers
• Classrooms and K-12 students are
technologically advanced
• Presentations by Apple and Pearson
• Department reached out to Titan Shops on
how to deliver
• Wanted to keep some flexibility in options for
students
• Needed a custom website for information
CSUF Credential Program iPad Cohort
• Elementary Education Program
– Required digital textbooks
– Required iPad
– Started Fall 2013
– 44 student in program
– Student have choices on purchases, average savings
of $400+ each semester
• Challenges
– Not all students ready for digital
– Not all titles available digitally
CSUF College of Education Next Steps
• Single Subject Credential Program
– 175 students in Fall 2014
– Additional 50 students in Spring 2015
– Two semester program
• Recommend technology purchase to students
• Programming on how to utilize the iPad
– Partnering with Apple reps
CSUF EdEl iPad Project Takeaways
• Start early
– Technology is the easy part
– Special requests will take time
•
•
•
•
Options are helpful
Communication is essential
Be flexible
Ask publishers for digital content
