She agreed the video aspect was a valuable addition but has continued using outside tools to allow for intense peer-to-peer and peer-to-instructor interaction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUniversities across the country are questioning what the future holds for higher education given rapid advances in technology, changing demands of those we serve and declining state support,\u201d UT President Joe DiPietro said. \u201cWe must be open to considering new approaches to delivering education, and this is one example of how we\u2019re doing that in Tennessee and at UT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Launched in May 2013, the pilot program is a partnership between the UT System and the Tennessee Board of Regents, funded by a $1 million appropriation from the state of Tennessee for online innovation projects in connection with Governor Haslam\u2019s \u201cDrive to 55\u201d campaign. Based largely on the pilot\u2019s initial success, an additional $1 million appropriation was approved by the legislature. The added funding will be used broadly to apply lessons learned from the pilot or to test additional ways technology can be leveraged to improve student outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe excitement generated by this project has been energizing,\u201d said India Lane, UT assistant vice president for academic affairs and student success. \u201cWithin a few months, it was easy to see how this type of investment and team effort helps us get in the trenches and test methods that we hope will reduce the number of students repeating introductory courses and lead to better retention and graduation rates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Initial takeaways from the pilot include the value of course redesign and quality video instruction and the importance of course fit for success in an online platform.<\/p>\n<p>Three courses are being designed now for testing the edX platform. In fall 2014, a general education literature course using edX will launch at UT Martin, along with an upper-level education course at UT Chattanooga. The pilot will conclude in summer 2015 with all UT Knoxville freshmen being enrolled in First-Year Studies 100, a required course that takes place over the summer to help incoming students transition, using the edX platform.<\/p>\n<p>In total, more than 4,800 UT students are expected to participate in the Coursera and edX pilot courses, and their feedback, along with input from faculty and support staff, will continue to be collected, compared to experiences and student outcomes at TBR and used to determine next steps and future plans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough this pilot, we\u2019re gaining valuable knowledge,\u201d Lane said. \u201cWe intentionally mapped out a small pilot project and have proceeded carefully, monitoring the process and outcomes before considering any larger-scale adaption. As expected, the campus teams turned out fantastic course content, but we didn\u2019t anticipate the synergy and exponential value we have gained from collaborating as a system and with TBR to brainstorm, share successes and address challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Video Clip of Coursera Course<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tennessee.edu\/system\/academicaffairs\/online-education\/index.html\">http:\/\/www.tennessee.edu\/system\/academicaffairs\/online-education\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>About Coursera<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/\">https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>About edX<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edx.org\/\">https:\/\/www.edx.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>About the Pilot Program<\/p>\n<p>Background information from the May 2013 announcement of the pilot is available at <a href=\"http:\/\/tennessee.edu\/media\/releases\/053013_coursera.html\">http:\/\/tennessee.edu\/media\/releases\/053013_coursera.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>State of Tennessee Funding for Pilot Program<\/p>\n<p>The pilot program is the result of discussions between UT and TBR officials and UT Knoxville alumnus Randy Boyd, named in 2013 to a short-term appointment as the governor\u2019s special advisor on higher education. The pilot is part of Governor Haslam\u2019s \u201cDrive to 55\u201d initiative to increase education attainment levels of Tennesseans. Because of that connection, the pilot is funded by a $1 million special appropriation approved by the legislature and allocated July 1, 2013. Each system, UT and TBR, received $500,000 for startup costs for the pilot. Based largely on the quality and outcomes to-date of the pilot work, another $1 million in funds for online innovation projects has been approved by the legislature for the upcoming fiscal year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As an experienced online lecturer at UT Chattanooga and fan of technology, Tiffany Mitchell jumped at the chance to convert her online English rhetoric and composition course to Coursera, one of two national innovators in massive open online courses (MOOCs), being used in a pilot program throughout the University of Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2014\/06\/promise-shown-mooc-technology-pilot-program-leads-continued-state-investment\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":11523,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70,61,59,7712,57,52,821,661],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-11512","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-academics","8":"category-college-of-arts-sciences","9":"category-college-of-engineering-and-computer-science","10":"category-faculty-and-staff","11":"category-college-of-business","12":"category-graduate-school","13":"category-lupton-library","14":"category-students","15":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
