Used Tegrity during the ice storm of 2011 (think just before Super Bowl XLV)
- 300 students
- Started with Tegrity in May 2009
- Lecture capture in lectures and labs, undergrad (19) and grad (7) faculty, guest speakers and adjunct faculty, remote faculty who only come to campus once/semester
- Spring 2010: Independent auditor interviewed students about Tegrity
- Helped students focus
- Helped them follow along more efficiently
- Increased understanding of complicated concepts
- Use mobile devices to listen to lectures
- Allowed flexibility in studying
- Faculty feedback
- Faculty observed better preparation by students
- 50% full-time faculty use in 12 months
- Snow and ice storm, February 2011
- Lost five days of classes
- School developed virtual classroom and clinical environment using Tegrity and Blackboard
- Gave tests remotely using Blackboard and Respondus Lock-Down Browser
- Students' progress and testing monitored using Blackboard Grade Center
- Rolling blackouts occurred, but students were held accountable to view lectures on smartphones
- Virtual simulated clinical experiences provided via Tegrity/Blackboard
- Also e-mails, texts phone conferences used
- Concern about quality of content learning during ice storm revealed higher scores that year than this, well above national average
- Lessons learned
- Make sure Tegrity is easily accessed via course management system
- Policy development
- Class attendance
- Make up days for class and clinicals?
- Home computers or laptops: Make a course requirement to have Tegrity and other technologies always available, just in case?
- Next steps
- Have students develop studies/research presentations
- Remote testing
- More lecture capture video recordings
- Tegrity Live Webcasts
- Integration of Blackboard and AAIRS
