Stepping into Your Future
Connecting students across California to a comprehensive, innovative, hybrid, anytime, any place,
strength-based instructional program that teaches active reading, writing, Math and test taking practices in two courses. Helping students pass the CAHSEE, develop new literacy and Math understanding and supporting them on their future academic and career pathways.
a Model Collaboration
Stepping into Your Future: CAHSEE Preparation Program• Butte and Lake Tahoe Community Colleges• California Community Colleges Technology Center and• California Virtual Campus• UC, Santa Barbara• UC, Los Angeles, Center for Digital Innovation• Los Angeles Trade and Technical College• San Diego County Office of Education• Faculty from CSU, Fullerton; Santa Barbara City College;
Evergreen Valley College; LAUSD
Responsive/Recursive Development Model
• 5 month initial development timeline – April to Sept 2007
• Pilot phase using materials with students in adult schools and community colleges – Sept 2007 to June 2009
• Using a parallel track of development & implementation
The Technology
• Seamless entry for students with ‘Smart’ assessment
• Interactive lessons built with Flash integrated in a moodle open source LMS
• Video for situated explanation of concepts, tutorials and demonstrations
• Weekly live session in ‘Elluminate class room’
Engages Students
Highlight synchronizes with instructor voice over
Video demonstrates ‘what it looks and sounds like’
A Statewide Presence
•Steps is offered in partnership with over 124 education entities; libraries and CBOs
•Serving students and teachers in 39 of California’s 58 counties
Hybrid Delivery Model
• Lake Tahoe Community College offers free, non credit, on line classes for Math and English
• On site instructors enroll and support students locally
• Co-teaching Model: using on line content specialist and on site instructor
Demonstrating Effectiveness
• Increased student retention
• Increased pass rates for the CAHSEE (38% more passed ELA; 45% more passed Math with 85% of students self reporting as ELL)
• Increasing demand by teachers and increasing number of students enrolling – over a 200% increase in six months
Meeting the NeedObjective: Supply the College Pipeline
• Over 90% of students from the class of 2009 have met the CAHSEE requirement
STUDENTS PERSIST IN TAKING THE TEST
658 students from 2006
1,113 students from 2007
5,233 students from 2008
Value Added Investment
• ‘Test prep and beyond’ that supports basic skills instruction
• On line format scales to statewide distribution without compromise
• Cost efficient centralized services (CVC)
• Knowledge that a multi institutional, inter-segmental team approach to development - works!

The QM RubricTM
Eight General Standards:
1. Course Overview and Introduction2. Learning Objectives (Competencies)3. Assessment and Measurement4. Resources and Materials5. Learner Engagement6. Course Technology7. Learner Support8. Accessibility
Key components must align
Alignment: Critical course elements work together to ensure that students achieve the desired learning outcomes.

The overall effect of the new technology will be negative and counterproductive, if interest in the technology draws attention further from need for reform in the way we design our courses…

Impact of video on learning…Lessons from the past
• “Irrelevant attention-gaining cues will probably have negative effect on learning…”
• “Repeated showing…will result in more learning, up to a point…then teacher-directed follow-up more important than viewing again.”
• “Liking instructional television [video] is not always correlated with learning from it.”

…online formats that now dominate distance education are frequently criticized for not benefiting from awareness of the existing long history, especially in regard to the importance the relationship between quality and course design (Naidu, 2007).
