DEP STEPS http://lamc-ddl.pbworks.com/w/page/86305801/Steps%20for%20DE%20Program%20Review

 

Goal 1 - ACCESS AND PREPARATION FOR SUCCESS
 

1.1 Develop systematic assessment and improvement of online ecounseling 

 

1.2  Develop systematic assessment and improvement of DE adherence to Federal and State Regulations


1.3  Information students receive about DE is clear and accurate

 

1.4  Systematically maintain, evaluate, and improve the DE and online website

 

Goal 2 - TEACHING AND LEARNING FOR SUCCESS

 

2.1 Evaluate and improve the quality of online instruction and services, and their alignment with student needs.

  • Comparison between 2013-2014 and Spring 2015 online classes student retention/success - http://bit.ly/1ULIQDc 
  • Student Success and Support Program Plan - LAMC - 2015-2016 - https://www.lamission.edu/2016accreditation/docs/IIC/SSSP%20plan.pdf 
  • analysis - Spring 2015 successful course completion and course retention is broken down by individual classes and not in aggregate as was the 2013-2014 data. It appears that the successful course completions are significantly lower in Spring 2015 compared to 2013-2014. The retention on the other hands compares favorable with on campus retention rates.  It would appear that a greater number of students stay in online classes, resulting in lower success rates, but higher retention.  More research has to be done by OIE, and more on an overall aggregate basis and not broken down by individual classes.  suggested: we need to develop a more comprehensive method of analyzing student success in our online classes.
    Recommendation: DE, OIE and Student Services develop a process to better assess successful course completion, and retention for online students, identify reasons that online students are not as successful as their on campus counterparts, and provide a strategy and plan to improve online student success/retention.
  • Customer Satisfaction Surveys - Online students - http://lamc-ddl.pbworks.com/w/page/96191109/customer%20satisfaction%20surveys
  • Fall 2014 Survey of Online Students - https://www.lamission.edu/irp/docs/Fall_2014_DE_Survey_Results.pdf - demonstrates that online students are satisfied with the online academic services provided at LAMC
  • Results of student evaluations of DE classes At the end of the Fall 2014 semester, all of the 12 online law classes were assessed using the automated course management system new – evaluation survey system (15) - The results of those surveys were analyzed and suggested improvements included by the law department in their assessment report of Program Learning Outcomes for Fall 2014 (16) A total of 235 students in our law classes out of a total of 485 students enrolled in Fall 2014 responded to the student evaluation survey for a 48.45%. This is a fantastic result. Almost 50% responded. The normal response rate of 10 – 15% is considered acceptable in most surveys. DE will review and discuss adopting a policy of assessing all of the online classes each semester using the automated etudes evaluation system with EPC, Academic Senate, and the AFT to strengthen effective teaching and learning for our online students.
