Notas do Editor
- The SLN team and many of you in this room have helped to build not one, but TWO incredible organizations. SLN, which was a pioneer in the field of online learning, and now Open SUNY which will continue with that vision and then some.
- The road to here has been a long one and began 20 years ago with a grant from the Sloan Foundation.
- So, let’s talk a little about SLN’s impressive history
- SLN was offering faculty development related to online learning before most faculty had probably considered the idea of teaching a course online.
- SLN began offering technology support to campuses interested in bolstering online options for their students
- Not only did SLN become a major player in all things online learning, but the team recognized the value of research on the subject of online learning and the sharing of best practices.
- SLN can now claim, 20 years later, service to about 40 campuses throughout the SUNY system.
- Here’s what I love about what you’ve done. Many of the services I just mentioned, are what helps make Open SUNY such a promising effort. We’ve taken things that SLN pioneered and are taking things to the next level with Open SUNY.
- With our first 6 Open SUNY+ partner campuses, your work is helping us demonstrate systemness at work.
- The new Center for Online Teaching Excellence will really help advance and scale the great work started by SLN. A bunch of teams have helped shape what the COTE looks like now, and we should take a moment to thank those that have worked in these areas to date. Lisa Stephens and the Research and Innovation team . . .
- Sue Gallagher from HVCC and her work with the original Course Supports Core Team
- Maureen and Laura for their work in tying our great Library assets into Open SUNY.
- Sue Gallagher and Emily Schwartz for their work with the Multimedia Supports team
- And finally, Alexandra Pickett for her work with not one, but two teams . . . The Community of Practice team and . . .
- The Competency Development team
- I think it’s obvious that this took a lot of work and organizing and I think a big thank you is in order for Carey Hatch for his leadership for almost 10 years at SLN and all of his work in helping us get Open SUNY up and running.
- So, while we’ve done all of these great things, you’re not off the hook yet. Here’s three things everyone in this room can do to help move the Open SUNY effort forward and ensure that what we built with SLN is able to really advance to the next level. 1. Sign up for a role in the faculty center. If you already have . . . Get a friend or colleague to join and contribute to the community of practice we are building2. Help us spread the word about Open SUNY at your campus. Lot’s of people are talking about Open SUNY and some of it is not that accurate. You are people in the know, and can help us spread truthful facts about Open SUNY to faculty that might be interested3. TBD
