Why Onl<strong>in</strong>e Education?<br />
• Enhanced learn<strong>in</strong>g<br />
– more learn<strong>in</strong>g resources<br />
– development of <strong>in</strong>dependent learners<br />
• Flexible learn<strong>in</strong>g opportunities<br />
– no need to take leave from work<br />
– no loss of <strong>in</strong>come<br />
• Global competition<br />
– if we don’t do it, someone else will<br />
• Less <strong>in</strong>stitutional physical space required<br />

Objectives<br />
• Understand the Importance of Plann<strong>in</strong>g<br />
when Adopt<strong>in</strong>g Technology<br />
• Know the Components of a Technology<br />
Plan<br />
• Consider a Strategy for a Technology.<br />

Why a Technology Plan?<br />
• How Effective is a:<br />
– Meet<strong>in</strong>g without an Agenda?<br />
– Lesson Plan without Objectives?<br />
• Acquir<strong>in</strong>g and implement<strong>in</strong>g technology<br />
without a plan is very risky and rarely<br />
effective.<br />
• Def<strong>in</strong>e the Needs/Requirements before<br />
adopt<strong>in</strong>g technology.<br />

The <strong>Experiences</strong> <strong>in</strong> Us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>MUELE</strong> <strong>by</strong> a <strong>Physicist</strong>
What is a Technology Plan?<br />
• It is NOT about Computers Only.<br />
• A good Technology Plan considers:<br />
– People<br />
– Technology<br />
– Processes<br />
• It is a liv<strong>in</strong>g document that is reviewed and<br />
updated regularly<br />
• Represents a vision for technology adoption.<br />
• Different models and strategies exist.<br />
December 3, 2013<br />
The <strong>Experiences</strong> <strong>in</strong> Us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>MUELE</strong> <strong>by</strong> a <strong>Physicist</strong>
Who Prepares the Plan?<br />
• A Technology Committee with wide<br />
representation from the <strong>in</strong>stitutional<br />
Community.<br />
• Committee members should be committed to<br />
the process.<br />
• The process is as important as the plan itself.<br />
(builds a shared vision)<br />
• Ideally, the technology plan is tied to a larger<br />
<strong>in</strong>stitutional plann<strong>in</strong>g process.<br />

Needs Assessment<br />
“An evaluation of the functions you<br />
want your technology to have or the<br />
needs the technology should meet”<br />

The <strong>Experiences</strong> <strong>in</strong> Us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>MUELE</strong> <strong>by</strong> a <strong>Physicist</strong>
Needs Assessment<br />
• Dist<strong>in</strong>ct from the Technology Itself<br />
• Must be widely consultative<br />
– Achieve Buy-<strong>in</strong><br />
– Feedback from who?<br />
• Adm<strong>in</strong>istrators<br />
• Faculty<br />
• Students<br />
• Technical Support Staff<br />
• Partners<br />

• Prioritize/Organize<br />
• Document<br />
December 3, 2013<br />
The <strong>Experiences</strong> <strong>in</strong> Us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>MUELE</strong> <strong>by</strong> a <strong>Physicist</strong>
Needs Assessment/Organiz<strong>in</strong>g Phase<br />
• Review the <strong>in</strong>formation collected<br />
• Determ<strong>in</strong>e which needs are more important.<br />
– Essential?<br />
– Nice to Have?<br />
• Consider what processes could be changed<br />
to meet the requirements.<br />
December 3, 2013<br />
The <strong>Experiences</strong> <strong>in</strong> Us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>MUELE</strong> <strong>by</strong> a <strong>Physicist</strong>
Needs Assessment/Gather<strong>in</strong>g Phase<br />
• The most detailed/lengthy step<br />
• Consultation Process<br />
– Wide as possible<br />
– Watch out for:<br />
• Half-hearted Participants<br />
• Over Zealous Participants<br />
• Seek out Quantitative Information<br />
• i.e: # courses, # faculty,# users<br />
• Faculty/Student Surveys<br />

Needs Assessment/Documentation<br />
• Prepare the f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong>to a report<br />
• Use a format that is suitable for you (There<br />
is no “right” way to document)<br />
• Tip: Pretend you are f<strong>in</strong>ished with project<br />
and that the report will be used <strong>by</strong><br />
someone else.<br />
• It should stand alone.<br />

Technology Assessment<br />
• What technologies will be used?<br />
• What technologies are available or required<br />
on site?<br />
• What technologies are required <strong>by</strong> the end<br />
user (if applicable)?<br />
• What technology <strong>in</strong>frastructure is available<br />

Situational Analysis<br />
• Provides a picture of the gap between your<br />
vision and your current reality.<br />
• Consider strengths, weaknesses, opportunities<br />
and threats.<br />
• Questions could be:<br />
– What technology is currently available for<br />
faculty/staff?<br />
– How is technology currently used <strong>in</strong> teach<strong>in</strong>g?<br />
– What support services exist?<br />
– How do technology acquisitions occur?<br />
– What tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g is currently conducted for<br />
faculty/staff/students?<br />
– ??<br />

Pedagogical Considerations<br />
• The use of technology is tied to Teach<strong>in</strong>g<br />
and Learn<strong>in</strong>g activities.<br />
• Consider Learn<strong>in</strong>g Theories when<br />
deploy<strong>in</strong>g technologies:<br />
– Behaviorism, Cognitivism , Constructivism<br />
• A faculty will utilize technology <strong>in</strong> different<br />
ways, depend<strong>in</strong>g on the underly<strong>in</strong>g<br />
learn<strong>in</strong>g theory.<br />

Professional Development/Tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g<br />
• Professional Development is a critical<br />
component of the plan<br />
• Isolated, “one off” tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g activities are not<br />
effective, particularly for technology<br />
• The plan should encourage a culture of<br />
learn<strong>in</strong>g/exploration.<br />
• There are a variety of strategies to provide<br />
tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g.<br />

Evergreen<strong>in</strong>g/Technology Refresh<br />
• Plan to keep your technology<br />
<strong>in</strong>frastructure up to date.<br />
• Def<strong>in</strong>e m<strong>in</strong>imum standards/maximum age<br />
of equipment.<br />
• Policy should decide whether the purpose<br />
is to replace technology to ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> an<br />
acceptable level of reliability, to acquire<br />
improved speed and capacity at an<br />
acceptable price or a comb<strong>in</strong>ation of the<br />
two<br />

Implementation<br />
• As technology leaders, you will be<br />
responsible for implementation<br />
• Projects should be formulated based on<br />
goals formulated <strong>in</strong> the technology plan.<br />
• Pr<strong>in</strong>ciples of good project management<br />
apply.<br />
December 3, 2013<br />
The <strong>Experiences</strong> <strong>in</strong> Us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>MUELE</strong> <strong>by</strong> a <strong>Physicist</strong>
Evaluation of the Plan<br />
• As projects are implemented, the use of<br />
technology should be monitored and<br />
assessed.<br />
• Use formative and summative evaluation.<br />
• Consider how the technology is assist<strong>in</strong>g<br />
learn<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
– Improv<strong>in</strong>g outcomes?<br />
– Chang<strong>in</strong>g attitudes?<br />
– Affect<strong>in</strong>g teach<strong>in</strong>g methods?<br />

Summary<br />
• A Technology Plan is a critical component<br />
<strong>in</strong> the effective adoption of technology.<br />
• Plan development is a very useful<br />
process, contribut<strong>in</strong>g to a shared view of<br />
the goals, priorities.<br />
• The plan itself is a liv<strong>in</strong>g document that<br />
must be regularly reviewed and updated.<br />

Range from 28 – 49 years old<br />
Good self esteem but would<br />
like to <strong>in</strong>crease credentials<br />
Come from a variety of organizations<br />
<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g private multimedia firms, and<br />
private and public educational <strong>in</strong>stitutes<br />
May have work and<br />
family pressures<br />
This is the first onl<strong>in</strong>e course<br />
that most have “taken”.<br />
Most are local and a few may be<br />
from other prov<strong>in</strong>ces of Canada.<br />
Most are sponsored <strong>by</strong><br />
their employers but some<br />
are self funded.<br />
Most are keen to meet<br />
others “<strong>in</strong> the same boat”.<br />
Most have degrees,<br />
most are undergraduate<br />
and some with graduate level.<br />
