Three Faces of Great Learning

California State University Dominguez Hills


Build Community and sense of community in all we do as that is integral to learning

Google Hangout (Free. Can have up to 10 hours) Good for office hours (They've tried Fuse and other resources but they were time intensive to set up and had more problems)

Adobe connect is what they use for classes  MUST LOOK INTO THIS

online info sessions

can sync Adobe Connect Meetings with Google calendar

Orientation or Boot Camp

"Box" cloud storage/account (Can incorporate Google Docs) Box allows more organized, more multiple content (like video) so that's why with heavy files they use Box versus just google docs
(fee but not as expensive as you may think) Can invite students and it's free to them

Can edit with windows

They consider branding important to community and incorporate into classes

GOOGLE GLASSES CAN RECORD 10 SECONDS AGO!!! Say what??? !!!!

Icons, colors, headers, footers, banners for classes

Try to keep videos not too long

Don't forget some people might be new to the technology (I'm thinking the faculty would feel the same way).

Trouble shoot outside or link to class so class instruction is not disrupted

Love that students have everything all in one place, easy access (so many buttons to navigate)

Limit # of clicks or separate tab or window

Adobe connect has YouTube plug in so share video at same time

Online Etiquette (hard wired in, headphones if in public, focus bandwith on class

File that has addons  (timer plugins versus recreating or simuating)

Instructors can separate adobe connect class into small groups and drop into each group
