Distance Education Methods Synchronous  Course is held at scheduled time  Instructor-led in real time  Learner interacts with peers and Instructor Asynchronous  Anytime, anyplace  Learners and Instructors not connected in real time  No learner to peer or learner to instructor interaction BLENDED

Advantages of Asynchronous  Consistent message  Cost effective for large, disperse audience  Convenient for learners Service of the Children’s Bureau, a Member of the T/TA Network

Challenges of Asynchronous  Social aspects of learning  Skill building (observation and feedback)  Engaging learners Service of the Children’s Bureau, a Member of the T/TA Network

Free Online Training for Child Welfare Supervisors Imagine the Possibilities M.B. Lippold, M.A., M.B.A. Indiana Department of Child Services Service of the Children’s Bureau, a Member of the T/TA Network

Indiana’s Commitment  Leadership training already identified as a priority; working with Judy and John McKenzie from Michigan State University  Contacted the Institute and asked about participating in the training, but as a State entity  Very cooperative and accommodating; “Let’s Try It!!” Service of the Children’s Bureau, a Member of the T/TA Network

Indiana’s Plan  Identified 3 Supervisors in each of Indiana’s 18 Regions; primarily experienced, well thought of supervisors, but not all  Sent information about registration; started 1 st module  Scheduled 1 st Leadership Academy for Supervisors Learning Networks (LASLN’s) Service of the Children’s Bureau, a Member of the T/TA Network

What Next?  Too early for formal evaluations  Started 2 nd module; informal feedback received; excellent material but very time consuming  Completed survey monkey; verified material a little overwhelming  Completed 2 nd LASLN Service of the Children’s Bureau, a Member of the T/TA Network

Success!!  Modified 3 rd online training; shortened segments; broke down into smaller components  Clarified Required vs. Optional activities via video  Video prepared on navigating the website better Service of the Children’s Bureau, a Member of the T/TA Network

Lessons Learned  Supervisors Want to learn and network  On-line training beneficial in terms of time since no travel required –Segments need to be short and clear –Expectations set forth clearly  LASLN’s productive when participants actively involved, completing activities during session worthwhile Service of the Children’s Bureau, a Member of the T/TA Network

Required Activities For Statewide Approach  Frequent communication regarding expectations  Timely follow-up critical  Dedicated staff time to coordinate, answer questions, have additional consultations  “Pay-Off” clearly identified –How is this going to benefit me? Service of the Children’s Bureau, a Member of the T/TA Network

Next Steps in Indiana  Complete next 3 modules based on current format  Continue to receive feedback from participants and make additional changes if appropriate  Thoughts about remaining 200 Supervisors, possibly more selective  Overall Assessment  Stop reading brochures!! (MB’s Staff’s Request) Service of the Children’s Bureau, a Member of the T/TA Network

Next steps nationally  Move from self-directed to state- coordinated approach  Working with states to implement in own agencies  Implementation Resource Package  Memorandum of Agreement Service of the Children’s Bureau, a Member of the T/TA Network

Questions and discussion  How can we work together to build the capacity of the child welfare workforce and implement the LAS?  What support do you need from the LAS Team?  How can we encourage supervisor participation in the training?  How can I preview a LAS module?
