Never/Rarely Occasionally Regularly/Frequently
2.How often do you have students submit assignments through Course Mail?
Never/Rarely Occasionally Regularly/Frequently
3.How often do you communicate with individual students using Course Mail?

Faculty & Student Migration & Adoption:Faculty Feedback
Generally positive feedback on:
• Basic reasons for change and IU’s involvement in the Sakai initiative
• The Oncourse CL interface, ability to navigate among sites and customize the tool list for each site
• Widespread availability of WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editing
Faculty & Student Migration & Adoption:Faculty Feedback
Very positive feedback on:
• Resources tool, drag and drop functionality
• Assignments tool
• Web Content tool
• Communication capabilities through distribution list and notification features
Faculty & Student Migration & Adoption: Gathering Faculty Requirements
RequirementsOne-to-one communication
– Teacher to student– Student to student– Give a grade, linked to the gradebook
• Discussion tool features– Designate read and unread messages – Give a grade, linked to the gradebook – View statistics about student participation
• Merge multiple sections and share information, resources, etc. across sections
• Create multiple grade books • Create groups
Faculty & Student Migration & Adoption: Commitment to Teaching & Learning
IU has made the commitment to provide core communication functionality.
Assuming this objective is met with the version 2.5 release, the original Oncourse retirement will proceed on schedule.
In the unlikely event that the requirements should not be met by June 2006, the original Oncourse retirement will be delayed.
Faculty & Student Migration & Adoption:Student Experience
Student Experience
• Students likely work in two environments
• Both environments list all fall classes
• New system provides new storage capabilities
• Online and face-to-face training available
Faculty & Student Migration & Adoption:Keeping Things in Perspective
Perspective• Faculty are not a captive audience• Faculty readiness varies
– Some ready to jump– Many will pick and choose– A few kicking and screaming
• Communication key• Faculty leaders set example• Transition allows faculty to plan their most
important resource: their time
Faculty & Student Migration & Adoption:Centers for Teaching & Learning
Role of the centers
• Faculty assistants
• Faculty advocates
• Pedagogical focus
