No More Traditional Classes: A Campus-wide Transition Into Future Learning
Overview
• History & Cultural Change• Institutional Growth• Blended/Distance Modalities• Future Learning• Lessons Learned
Snapshot of FHCHS
• Young• Professional• Non-traditional• Innovative
Changing a Culture
• Traditional to Innovative– Teachers from clinical setting• Ignorant• Open• Knew how to do hands-on in clinicals
– Non-clinical teachers• Knowledgeable• Resistant
Changing a Culture
• Teaching to Learning– Monthly workshops– Faculty-led demonstrations• PBL• Service learning• Blended learning
Learning Outcomes
• Two year development process• Course and curricular mapping• Assessment
Structural Changes
• Technology• Training• Thinking

Educational Development
Learning Modalities
• Visual – Viewing graphics and animations– Playing visual games
• Auditory– Listening anytime to lectures– Listening to audio instructions– Audio conferencing
• Kinesthetic– Doing learning activities– Playing learning games
Learning Modalities
• Social– Constructivist learning activities– Social network software– Virtual world learning
Blending/Distance Modalities
• Limited Blend: Online resources as supplement
• Regular F2F Blend: F2F is the dominant mode of instruction (Asynchronous coursework online)
• Interactive F2F Blend: F2F is used as facilitation sessions (Instruction via PPT/flash recordings, videos, podcasting, vodcasting, etc)
Blending/Distance Modalities
• Synchronous Blend: F2F is fully replaced by synchronous distance instruction and interaction (via Polycom, METI, and other real-time technologies)
• Ubiquitous Blend: Fully ubiquitous with limited synchronous interaction (via Chat and web-based conferencing technologies)
Impact of Games & Virtual Worlds
• Learning/Serious Games– Within Learning Systems (e.g ANGEL)– Learning Games– Echelon interactives
• Virtual Worlds– Second Life (e.g. SL Hospital, SL Patient)– Google Lively (avatar chat)
Future Learning
• Blazing the trail with Distance ASN • Implication for other on-campus AS programs• iPhone-based Learning• Game-based Learning System• Complete range of ubiquitous options
(in time for Carina)
Lessons Learned
• Getting the campus prepared – some underlying changes
• Getting the faculty prepared – some cultural change
• Working with a variety of faculty – lead gently and support firmly (A contructivist approach)
