Webinars

Thanks to a special initiative enabled by Tegrity, Lawson State Community College has seen its freshman pass rates increase to 80% and freshman retention rates jump by 10% in a year’s time. Academic departments such as Nursing have seen similar outcomes.

Dr. Sherri Cousin Davis, Academic Dean & Director of Developmental Programs
Dr. Charmaine Smith Rodgers, Instructor of Nursing

To address the evolving needs of both students and instructors, Calhoun Community College began experimenting with a “flipped” classroom model in which lectures that were once presented in the classroom are instead delivered online through Tegrity for students to view on their own time. This provides instructors with the flexibility to introduce more interactive and engaging activities in class, while students can watch lectures at their own leisure– wherever and whenever they want. Highlights include:

• What a “flipped classroom” should (and shouldn't) look like
• How to develop implementation strategies for a flipped classroom model (needs assessment; selecting resources and measuring success)
• Best practices for using Tegrity to create content for the flipped classroom
• Tips for most efficient use of class time in a flipped classroom model

Presenters:

Dr. Bobbi Jo Carter, Distance Learning Coordinator
Dr. Alice Yeager, Child Development Faculty Member

Shoreline Community College's use of Tegrity lecture capture with AAIRS™ technology provides real-time Blackboard integration to completely automate the lecture capture workflow and eliminate strain on IT.

Speaker: Ann Garnsey-Harter, Ph.D., Director of eLearning, Shoreline Community.

Arkansas Tech University wanted a lecture capture system that could be deployed quickly and scaled easily and affordably as usage grew. In 2010, the school successfully deployed Tegrity's cloud-based lecture capture solution, enabling the institution to enhance its face-to-face courses as well as launch a new distance learning program. In this webinar, Dr. Cochran presents data on Tegrity's impact on her Operations Management course in terms of course satisfaction and completion rate, as well as grades.

Ken Wester, Director of Technology Center/Virtual Learning, Arkansas Tech University

Lecture capture is one of the fastest growing technologies in education today. According to the 2010 Campus Computing Survey, more than 70 percent of private universities, and almost 80 percent of public universities agreed or strongly agreed that "lecture capture is an important part of our campus plan for developing and delivering instructional content."

While it's easy to understand the benefits that lecture capture provides, it isn't so easy to wade through the many different solutions available. And with a great deal of variance between these solutions in terms of deployment and pricing models, effectively comparing total costs of ownership can be a challenge.

Attend this webinar to hear Senior Analyst Alan Greenberg of Wainhouse Research, experts in the field of lecture capture research, break down the ins and outs of lecture capture and give you practical insight on:

• The three primary deployment models of lecture capture
• Pros and cons of each model
• Method to compare total cost of ownership for different solutions
• Increasing importance of scalability
• How to select the best solution for your particular institution

Remote proctoring solutions allow exams to be taken off-campus and help ensure the integrity of exams, while providing today’s busy students (and those with special needs) the utmost in flexibility.

However, forcing students to travel to a formal proctored facility can be inconvenient and expensive. While there are other remote proctoring solutions out there, many are cost prohibitive, requiring specialized hardware that is sent to each student’s home. There has to be a better solution, and now there is with Tegrity’s Remote Proctoring feature.

There has to be a better solution, and now there is with Tegrity’s Remote Proctoring feature.

Highlights:

• * Confirms the identity of the student
• * Ensures integrity of exam results
• * Allows students to save more than $1,700 in proctoring exam fees
• * Lightning-fast implementation
