Google + OER = Better Canvas
Gregory Beyrer
Cosumnes River College
Google and Canvas work well together. In this session, you will learn how to leverage the convenience of cloud assignments with your Google Drive files. We will explore how to do this whether your college is a Google Suite for Education customer or not. And we will show you how to import Canvas course shells that use OER (open educational resources) and are designed to align with the CVC-OEI Course Design Rubric. You will leave this session with an understanding of how to use cloud assignments to confirm that students have read the OER text that you have embedded in your Canvas course. You will be able to follow along if you have a Canvas sandbox and a Google account.

Incorporating Oral Presentations into a Fully Online Course

Presentation and public speaking skills are crucial to so many disciplines, yet few online students are given opportunity to speak. How might instructors foster presentation skills in their online classes? I’ll answer that question in this session, sharing my experience teaching fully online public speaking classes (with synchronous online speeches) and discussing how we can use the online learning environment more fully to our students’ benefit.

Best Practices for Building a Local POCR Team
Rebecca Pang, Suzanne Ama, Gary Enns, Peter Fulks, Karen Moore
Cerro Coso Community College
Cerro Coso Community College has always been committed to offering quality online courses. To reinvigorate this notion of quality online courses, the college has built a local peer online course review (POCR) process, modeled after the CVC-OEI POCR process. This process is not yet OEI approved, but we are pursuing approval. In this session, the Cerro Coso POCR Team Chair and the Distance Education Director will discuss the steps and processes they’ve taken to build a POCR Team. Additionally, participants will hear direct experiences of faculty members who have gone through the local review process.

ACCJC Determination of Regular and Effective Contact
Lisa Beach
Santa Rosa Junior College
How do accreditation teams determine whether regular and substantive interaction is happening in online courses? Evidence suggests that different teams may have very different ideas about how to do this. Let's talk about how we might be able to add some structure and equality to that process, and how we can ensure that the ACCJC gets what they need while protecting the privacy rights of faculty and students.
