Residential Students Moving Online Slides
Residential Students Moving Online The New Traditional Paradigm
Welcome • Jason Maseberg-Tomlinson • Kansas State University Global Campus, Director of Student and Faculty Services • PhD candidate in Counseling and Student Development
Focus for today – Credit programs: specifically undergraduate degree options – Online programs: programs facilitated nearly 100% by online courses (at least 80% of a course content is online) – Residential programs: face-to-face classes, traditional residential students (less than 30% of a course content is online)
• Why does it matter?
Let’s start a conversation 1. 2. 3. 4.
Changing view of higher education IPEDS data for online learning Reasons for a paradigm shift: what motivates students? Can a bass guitar player for the Clash make a good lecturer?
Residential Programs
• Traditional undergraduate programs • Campus ecology and physical presence outside of the classroom • Lecture halls • Library study areas • Student development with hands on “control” over many environmental influences on our students
OR • Independent learning (life: work, family, children) • Recorded lectures modules, learning management systems and technology • Kitchen tables, sofas, coffee shops, the “L” train • Self-authorship, adult learning, limited access by campus staff

“They’re classes. They just happen to be online…and at another college.”
-full time , traditional, residential, junior in elementary education on being asked why she was taking online courses (a full certificate) from another school for a program that was also offered locally on campus and without support of her advisor
“Online it seems like you answer [questions] very formally. You want to sound educated and you just want to sound good online. In person, it seems like you can just answer the question and that is all you answer. But, online, I personally, will go over. I will type it out and I will reread it. .”
-full time , traditional, residential, senior in graphic arts program talking about how online education changed her approach to all classes in college.
Rationale: not as simple as one answer
• Students are empowered by convenient and computerenabled communication, not just because it is “high tech,” but because it is familiar and comfortable.
• Flexibility: flexible learning styles
• Time, cost, easiness.
• What’s the difference? A course is a course of course.
Trends start before college • Blended instruction is starting in high school • Concurrent enrollment is growing • The line between high school and college is fading

EduPunk : teaching and learning in the new millennia • Teaching – Jim Groom: coined in 2008, against commercialized learning technologies – Tom Kuntz: “bring the Clash to the classroom”
• Learning – Ana Kamenetz: DIY U focus on student
