Some Concern on Interactions
![Page 14: Rhonda G. Patrick, LCSW, MPA University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5681540f550346895dc20e41/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Access Issues Drive Online
Online education is strategically important for my institution to:
Not ImportantSomewhat Important Important Very Important
Increase student access 1.4% 8.2% 28.8% 61.6%
Attract students from outside the traditional
service area5.5% 6.9% 30.9% 56.7%
Grow continuing and/or professional education
4.1% 8.2% 32.9% 54.8%
Increase rate of degree completion
5.0% 22.4% 38.8% 33.8%
The top two reasons for
introducing online education are
related to student access and
expanding service area

Professional Adjuncts
Faculty as entrepreneurs:
Bedford, L. (2009). The professional adjunct: An emerging trend in online instruction. Online Journal of Distance Learning Administration, 8 (3).
• 2 to 4 simultaneous institutions
• Supplemented with independent contracts
• Long-term relationships with universities
• Fair compensation package
• Increased reliance on professional organizations
![Page 43: Rhonda G. Patrick, LCSW, MPA University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5681540f550346895dc20e41/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Ways to encourage faculty participation
• Frame in terms of student need and the need to reach new students.
• Stress commitment to quality• Stress increased flexibility• Stress the use of new technological tools and how these can be brought back into the classroom to enhance classroom instruction
• Provide appropriate technical and designer support

3 Types of Analytics
Time based (when students access the course)- Analytics can influence improvements in content availability, assignment due dates, webinars, virtual office hours, etc.
Individual assignments/content (how often a student “hits” an assignment/content)- Track how often student(s) view a content item (document, video, podcast, webinar archive, etc.)
Discussion Board (how/when are students active in discussion boards)- create a discussion that remains a “fluid” conversation over the week(s)
