Are you currently involved in off-campus delivery for a program in the E.T. Moore School of Education?

Have you taught at the University Center?

Are you currently involved in off-campus delivery for a program in the E.T. Moore School of Education? Comments: – am in summer – have been in the past – I have done some in the past and plan to in the future. – I teach in the new M. Ed. in Early Childhood Education at the University Center. – I teach two classes off campus this semester – Off-campus is such a limiting label for all of this! – Sometimes teach at UCG and will teach hybrid model in summer and fall.

What level of degree is the program?

What delivery mode have you used?

Comments: – I have taught this class several times through several different configurations. In the past, I've done one course almost entirely online, which was not as satisfactory for this particular course. so now we are delivering the course face to face with some asynchronous features. have been in the past – Supervise in the schools – We're looking into some on-line and internet also.

What do you think present realistic potential opportunities for off-campus programming for the Moore School of Education? Greatest potential: 1.“Blended” on-site & online 2.Traditional face-to-face, site-based 3.Online professional development 4.Videoconference-based, multi-site 5.Online degrees

What do you think present realistic potential opportunities for off-campus programming for the Moore School of Education?

Comments: – A blended delivery combining both on-site, face to face interaction with synchronous and asynchronous features. – Making the transition from classroom to online is best served with instructor initiative, creativity and enthusiasm for this approach. – We're looking into some on-line and internet also. – The above must be considered in the light of what and who is being taught. – you don't mention traditional in person courses not in partnerships with schools and districts - most of the courses in our department are simply offered at UCG without any partnerships, and I think these courses work well

My concerns about taking programs off-campus are: Greatest concerns: 1.Administrative assistance and clerical support 2.IT Support 3.Professional networking 4.Infrastructure for non-traditional graduate students 5.Infrastructure for research grants

My concerns about taking programs off-campus are:

Comments: – Cost of travel for faculty to alternate locations--I cannot afford the gas/mileage without reimbursement. – Furniture for new TE suite. – IT issues and firewall issues in schools where PD is offered can be frustrating and difficult to overcome. – Office space and parking should remain the same for faculty teaching online courses. Particularly if students are taking these courses while physically attending other classes at Clemson. We need to schedule reality office hours for them.We also may want to require students living at Clemson to take exams mid/final in classroom:CUID for attendance.. – Quality of programs - our students at the University Center always talk about the lack of quality the find in on-line courses

What do you think present realistic potential opportunities for programming at the University Center for the Moore School of Education? Greatest potential: 1.“Blended” on-site & online programs tailored to local needs 2.Collaboratives with local schools/agencies for internships & practica 3.Online professional development courses 4.Traditional face-to-face courses via UCG but at off-site locations 5.Online degrees

What do you think present realistic potential opportunities for programming at the University Center for the Moore School of Education?

Comments: – Again, it largely depends on the faculty engaging the students in class and word of mouth/text about how meaningful AND convenient the classes are. – I am not sure about the video teleconferencing capabilities of the University Center – I did not respond to many of these items because I am not sure of the resources available at UCG for videoconferencing, etc., and some (online teaching) do not seem directly connected to UCG (could be done from home)

My concerns about working at the University Center are: Greatest concerns: 1.IT Support 2.Professional networking for faculty (for students - #10) 3.Infrastructure for research grants 4.Administrative assistance and clerical support 5.Infrastructure for non-traditional graduate students

My concerns about working at the University Center are:

Comments: – Cost of travel for faculty teaching at the UC--I taught at the UC one summer and was told that I could not recieve money for the gas and mileage to and from Clemson to Greenville. Gas prices were high that summer and it was not worth the money. I am living month-to-month with the furlough, no travel budget, etc and I don't have enough cash for that much gas. If we require faculty members to teach at a location 40 minutes away from Clemson, we need to pay them. – distance in terms of time and money. At the very least, faculty should be reimbursed for mileage – Furnishing classroom space in new TE suite – The biggest obstacle to potential may be faculty attitudes
