Continuous Improvement: A Best Practice for Online Teaching and Learning
Williams, Janet M.; Pulido, Laurie
American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, Paper presented at the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education 2022 Conference (Milwaukee, WI, Oct 11-14, 2022)
During the COVID-19 pandemic, an adult noncredit program in the California Community College system partnered with Ease Learning to help convert face-to-face courses to an online modality. Subsequent data revealed a misalignment in the courses' Student Learning Outcomes and Instructional Objectives which became a barrier to student success. Wile's External Tangibility (E-T) Model of Human Performance provided the framework for analyzing the quantitative data presented to the program in the Skillways Continuous Improvement Analytics reports and helped identify potential internal and external causes of performance gaps. This process allowed the program to develop best practices and prioritize the remaining gaps in the curriculum development and approval processes as part of continuous improvement efforts to create a studentcentered culture.
