 OTAN, Outreach and Technical Assistance Network. I'm going to just introduce myself first. My name is Chunhee McMahon, and I'm a director of nursing education at Clovis Adult. Clovis is located in Central Valley, right next to Fresno. And my background backyard is Yosemite, everybody. So any of you are visiting Yosemite and give me a call so I can host you. I have even a couple of extra bedrooms, so you can use that too. So I do actually have the mother-in-law rooms, so it comes very handy. So this project, actually, it's not just I did it by myself, but I was a teacher for five years, a nursing teacher for five years before I became a director of nursing. So actually last year, July, 2022, and I took over the position. And then I dragged two teachers who has a vision to, you know, take over my role before what I did. So Elaine Sims is one of the teachers, and she is actually a department chair for the nursing and allied health. And then Hannah Gendi is the new teacher joined, and she is just dynamic teachers who is very interested in teaching online as well as using all this technology. So I just want to, this kind of, basically I'm not teaching how to do it in this presentation, but I want to show you how I transitioned and how I started Moodle back in 2017, or pandemic, and then after the pandemic or during the pandemic, then Moodle transitioned to campus. So I just want to share the step-by-step that we took, and maybe you can utilize that information with you and implement it in your transition if you are using any LMS. But if you don't use it, no biggie, because I didn't, I never heard LMS. I never heard Moodle nor Canvas. I knew BlackBoat when I was going to City College and taking some course. They used the BlackBoat, but at that time when I went to school, that was 1980, when not long after I came to America, I knew there was BlackBoat, but very rare. And then it's very much troublesome, so we didn't use a whole lot. But later on, and I heard that worked really good, it was a competitor of the Moodle. So, but I began with the Moodle because other education provided the Moodle for free at that time. So, that's how we started Moodle, and even though I never heard, then I started taking my master program and I had to use this Moodle. So I exposed to Moodle very short time as a student. So that's why I said, wow, I think I'm going to implement Moodle. That was 2017. I had no clue that pandemic could happen, but we were very comfortable using it Moodle. After I started it, I'm the only one used the Moodle at that time, 2017, when I created all the courses and I started engaging other teachers, hey, how convenient it is that once you set up the class in an online base, which I, very first I started with my own website. I created my own website, and then I moved to Google Classroom, Google to, and then it's Moodle. So the Moodle is my third generation. As far as I consider that online was started in the Moodle. And I want to just give you the background of our Clover's Adult Education story and also how we work on the programming. We do have academic, the teacher ESL, English, math and all the GED part, even special ed, but I'm only focusing CTE program because we do have CTE business section and then we also have a CTE nursing and allied. And I'm only in charge of nursing and allied program, but we do have a CTE business who worked with me. So the CTE business chair is the one who started teaching us how to use Moodle very first. So she was kind of my mentor, and then she started kind of playing with Canvas freebies. So we're going to, I'm going to just kind of what kind of program we offer in Clover's is medical assistant front office. We used to have a back office, but we closed the member of students was very low. So we only kept the front office program and then the administrative assistant program. So it's kind of like six, 12 months program short, but students, I don't think I'm not as nearly as many as nursing program we have. And I will introduce that in a minute. So that part. So our CTE nursing and allied health program teaches LVM program. We have four cohorts. Each cohort has between 30 to 45 students. So that means each year twice enrollments growing up. So you can tell about 140, 120 to 40 students in the campus. And so one comes in, one graduate. So it's always, it's a fall rotating, but it is a program of 18 months. So I have to design not in 12 months at a time, I have to design 18 months. So it's kind of a little different. It's a little more complicated than like going by 12 months at a time. So LVM, we have CNA program. So we call it NA program. The reason we call NA is before they like certificated, they are still in a nurse aid. But once they are certificated, then we call CNA. And that we have part timers, four hours, four days. And then about three months. So it's a 12 to 13 months. Each cohort can hold, we have AM program and PM program, each cohort 30. So that's a 30 student, 30 students, 60 at a time. And then it rolls it three times a year. Yeah, so that's a, again, 120 and 100, almost 180 students can go through our programs. And then Hormel's Aid, we have right after the CNA program, we offer Hormel's Aid. It's a 40 hour program with NA certification. So that tells, if it's all 30 students in AM and all 30 students, PM sign up, there's a 60 students will be signing up for the HHA. But most unlikely not 100%, just they want to be a CNA so that about half of those will sign up HHA. But those students who does HHA are, I give them a credit for taking those course and NA course when they coming into LBN program. So our HHA and NA students feeding into our BN program. So it's kind of like we bring it in the students purposefully and then moving them and upward. And then we transition to our AM program. But we don't have our AM program, we finish them in LBN. So, and I already explained in the next, so what we offer. To become a BN, coming into BN program, we, all these students and HHA, they have to take a prerequisite. We offer 12 prerequisites. They only need to take up five of them, but 12 classes available. So all those has to be in campus and it used to be in Moodle. So each of those courses holds the students between 30 to 50 students signing up. So that's a lot of students with kind of going through. So do I, I mean, am I able to handle all those students just pay for constantly? I didn't think that was fair enough. So as you can see me, I come from other country. I came here in America about 35 years ago. And I didn't speak English. And I went to adult education and I learned English. And then I move on and I become an optician. And then after I become an optician and then I went back to school and I become an RN. So I went back and then when I went to the same school where I learned English. And they were stuck in 35 years ago, the way they've been teaching and they never moved. They're still paper and pencil. That made me to think, you know, maybe I'm in the right place. Maybe I can change because when I was an optician and those optical field, it was all those sales order was written form. And then I just kind of get an idea that sales no longer should be handwritten. And because hand older, and then I wrap it up with the frame, send it up, which the carrier comes pick up my order and then send it up to, I think at that time, down Spring, down LA area, Orange County, they manufacture their glass, ship it out. Overnight, it could be sometimes in one week to two week to get the glasses. So I started talking to ownership to change this system. And so we can enter in the computer those days already started having computers. This is what we're talking about, about 1995 between 2000. So the owner started adopting this computer. They computerize. So I helped them one company to moving paper to computer. So I had that experience. So that somebody heard, they made me to come and one of the doctors of this, can you integrate that? So I created with the IT guys, and we had a doctors of this company. And after that, and I become a nurse. And here I become a five years experience. And then I went back and same school where I got English. And then I started looking at it's like, no way. I want to change this school. These old paper, they were using Scantron at the time. Number two, I think number two pencil to give the test. So I said, if I can get rid of that Scantron test, I'm already successful. You know, that was all I had in my mind. That's why I started doing the Moodle because I moved all those test banks into Moodle. And that was an idea, but then I started a teaching. And then it's so much easier to moving all my teaching materials, syllabus, and curriculum moving into Moodle. It becomes very convenient. So I started suggesting other teachers. Let me set it up. I will just do the test bank syllabus of loading. And then your teaching material be uploaded in the Moodle. So that's how we're using almost 100 of the subject. In 1989 subjects, I created a classroom and completed a Moodle. We used 17, 18, 19, and 20, 21. For five years, we were very, very comfortable using it by then. I mean, I was very comfortable with the Moodle. And I did not want to move to Canvas, but unfortunately, I heard Madri was telling, oh, you know what? By the way, you wanted to create more, but we were going to go for the Canvas. That was bad news for me. But it's never bad news. I just want to share that the Chinese proverb, it said, a journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step, right? I mean, I never used the Canvas and I just keep myself very positive. Okay, now I can go for the newer LMS. So how am I going to do it? So luckily, the person who helped me to create the Moodle, and she was still with us, she wanted to retire. At least as far as I know, last 10 years she was retired. Everybody grabbing her because she is not one of the IT. So just want to use her. So she is a CTE business section teacher. So she started when I found out that the Moodle is going to be sunsetting, and then a Canvas is going. And so we started April 21, free Canvas. We had no clue how they're going to roll out the Canvas. But this person started doing the Canvas for freebie to testing out whether it's going to work, or we can migrate all the sections to Canvas. So this Lila Young started doing the migration things. But I just explained those how I—did I miss anything? So, on here at the beginning, so we didn't just adopt the Canvas right away because we know it needs some step to take it. So very first, even though all our teachers are familiar using Moodle, a Canvas for me, even when I opened it, it was shocking. It was way different than Moodle. I thought Moodle was much easier to use, but the Canvas has one more step to you, have to do things. So as I become administrator, and I wasn't using Canvas not as much, but I was able to work with Lila, and she and I discussed how can we assess these teachers' level of computer knowledge, even though we helped them. But some of teachers, we really helped them like 90% setting up all those courses, except they can open the quiz, they can upload the syllabus, that's about it. But all other problems, there's always resources, and a teacher or I was available to help them and runs all these Moodle. So when we started the Canvas, we did this background check. What we did is have teachers, by using them as a survey monkey, teachers to do their self-assessment types, how they can do and learn better. So we did that and then the results indicated a lot of people wants to have a one-on-one section. So we created one-on-one section, and they liked to have handouts. So we create the handout, and then the handout shows a step-by-step training. And then that wasn't even enough. We did it in person. By then, our school started opening. So yes, we did it in the very first couple of sessions, actually in person. And then we did it as needed, we did also combined. So we did a Zoom, because thank goodness Moodle was available. So we could be able to link all the Zoom link into our Canvas, not the Canvas Moodle, so we were able to utilize those material ready, and without creating a whole lot of this. And then all those step-by-step teaching, we actually repeated if that teacher needed more than one training times. And then of course, we have a terminology explanation, a lot of computer terminologies. To teachers, it becomes very difficult. So we made it available as well. And so when the business section of the Canvas, they practiced it in the reviews, and then we petitioned to our administrators to buy the Canvas. So we have to purchase it. So now, you know, Canvas has to purchase, you know that, right? So by the units, and we all then negotiate. So we know we're going to use definitely Canvas. So now we move. So, maybe we just toss it out, and we move to licensed Canvas. Very first, the vision is started. And then the last year, we, you know, tested out, we trained the teachers about four different sessions, and then we helped them to creating the courses. And those step-by-step, this is Elaine, and she will explain, because as I move up to director of nursing, and she took over my position, and she become a resource teacher. So she started helping teachers to creating courses and moving forward. So official, our LMS, Canvas LMS, started, and then up was June and July. That section during the summer vacation. And then by the time June came, or the September came, that we all the classes moved into that. So I'm going to share what Elaine, how she took for that. Hi, my name is Elaine Simp, and I'm going to be talking to you about the timeline of transitioning from Moodle to Canvas, which actually, when we had found out that we were going to be utilizing Canvas, we didn't have a whole lot of time for training. And actually, on our campus, we are still continuing to train our instructors just to be the best that they can using Canvas. And that's part of our project here with DMACC. So it took us about two months just to get up and going. And so you can see the timeline here. So June, July of last year, 2022, I became the new role as campus administrator along with Junene McMahon. And with that role, I was really trying just to grasp what I needed to do in that role, what I needed to learn. I felt like I needed to be a step ahead from the instructor so that I could help them and I could support them. We did start our initial Canvas training for the instructors in June, and we had some of that carried over to July. And then August 2022, we continued with additional trainings for the instructors. And we were kind of pressed for time because our cohort, 8046 and the nursing program, they were starting segment two of the program. And so all of those courses we already had planned for them to start on Canvas. And that was anywhere between three theory courses, three clinicals throughout three rotations. And so it was a lot of courses that we had to get going in August and just with the training that we had in September 2022, we had a brand new cohort that was starting fundamentals, 8047. And then October 2022, we had another cohort, 8045 starting segment three of the nursing program, which is the last segment of the program. And again, that was three, the four theory classes, three clinicals over three rotations. So it was a lot that we had to make sure we're ready for. And then as you know, December 31st, 2022, Moodle ended with OTAN. Yep. So we were like started away year before, but then next year, when it when it ended, and it was smooth transaction, we were really ready. So next one, how we did and she's continued it yesterday. We started off with face to face instructor trainings. And these trainings were coordinated by Lila Young and she the 2018-2020 D-LAC graduate. And actually I went to Lila a lot just through what I was trying to learn as an admin. And she helped me tremendously. So our training just start off on campus, on our campus, they were all face to face these three trainings that Lila did for us. The first training session was focused more on campus from the student's point of view, which I think was excellent because as instructors, you know, we need to know, we need to know, you know, what the student sees, you know, how to upload an assignment, you know, how to, you know, kind of troubleshoot, help the student troubleshoot when they're having problems. And so the first thing that Lila did is she enrolled us all in a course called Canvas Student Orientation that she found from Canvas comments, which is very helpful. It taught us how to complete a text entry assignment. We took quizzes so that we knew, you know, what the student would be seeing when they take a quiz and the different formatted questions. We learned how to submit an assignment and we also learned how to send a message to the teacher. So all those were very important. And even though it was our first training session, so it was overwhelming for instructors, even, you know, for myself, just because it was something new. We were just so used to using Roodle. And so it was definitely, you know, had us challenges. But then we went on to training session number two. And with training session number two, we learned how to migrate a course from Roodle to Canvas. And we had many, many courses that we used Roodle for. And so, you know, each instructor, the courses that they were teaching on Roodle, they learned how to do that migration. And so first of all, we learned how to do a Roodle, excuse me, course backup file, which most of us already knew how to do that because we would backup our courses on Roodle when a course ended. And so we did that. And then through that, we learned the steps on how to import into a Canvas course template. Now, the course template, that was something new for us. And, you know, we were, I was like, well, what is a template? What is my understanding? And so just learning the concept of that. And so all of our courses, we were able to go ahead and migrate from Roodle, doing the backup file, and they were all put into our course template. Now, one thing that Roodle did for us, all of us instructors, is that she already had the course templates already ready to go for us. And so that was very helpful. And, you know, later on, of course, I learned how to create those templates and assigned them to the instructors. Our third session with Lila is that we have learned to copy a Canvas course shell from the template. And so we had our course shell that, again, by the, had already set up for us. And so from our shell, we were able to copy our course, which was our template, into our shell. And again, those were, you know, steps that were, you know, initially confusing. But, you know, within time, you know, of course, it got easier and easier. And then also with that last session, we also learned how to navigate through the modules. And so with that, you know, uploading a file, creating a page, having the assignments, you know, everything that has to do, you know, with the modules. So it's what we learned there. And then she also touched base about having a sandbox course. And so I did create some sandbox courses for some of the instructors. And that was also helpful, very helpful for me, because I was able to go into my sandbox. Just like a sandbox, just play around in there. And it wasn't intimidating, you know, and I tell the instructors now, use your sandbox if you're not quite sure, you know, what something will look like, or how to use the sandbox. That, you know, that is what it's there for. And it was, you know, very, very helpful to those trainings. So sandbox, you got it, right? But with us, yes, that would be the one thing we do. We then moved on to online Canvas trainings. These trainings were coordinated by our very own Marjorie Olivarez. We're very thankful and grateful to you, Marjorie. These trainings were set up last July and went to August. Remember, we had a goal of utilizing Canvas, starting with classes that were starting in August of 2022. So the first training session, which each training session, these were fantastic because these were presented by Canvas experts, trainers, and it really did help us. The face-to-face, you know, gave us kind of a little bit, a little bit, you know, knowledge of what Canvas was about. But these trainings here, it really does weigh deeper. And for the first session, we talked about with module and communication. That's what we were learning. We learned how to set up a module. We learned how to set preregressive for the module and set requirements for the module, how to lock the module. We learned how to upload assignments, a page, all those things that you do within the module. They're very, very helpful. The communication side of it, we learned how to post an announcement. We learned how to do discussions. We also learned how to utilize the inbox and email students, how to email a full class versus just emailing one or two students. So very, very helpful training session number one. Training session number two was all about the assignments. And one thing that was very helpful throughout all four of these sessions is that we would have our own Canvas course open. And so the trainer would, you know, teach us something and then give us some time to have the hands on, which was excellent. And then, of course, there was always time for Q&A. So we had any type of question. We were able to, you know, ask those questions. We were really, really good. Training session number two focused on assignments. And so with the assignments, we learned about the assignment groups and how to do that and add weights to the assignment group to set up the grade book, which is very helpful. We learned about the room bricks and how to use the room bricks, touch base a little bit on speed grader as well. And so that was really good. Training session number three was new quizzes and item banks. And so I know that there's classic quizzes and the new quizzes was something that was new. And so right away, I just wanted to learn about the new quizzes. I wanted instructors to learn about the new quizzes that way, you know, we didn't have to go back and forth learning classic initially and then going to new quizzes. I just like the way, you know, you're able to, you know, build the question and something that we needed to learn anyway. So we learned it right away. We also learned about item banks and how to do a QTI import from a publisher from the texts. And that was helpful as well. And also, we also learned as you're adding your questions, how to add it, the question to the item base. So it's very, very good. And different formatting of questions as far as like the multiple choice, multiple response, hot spot. So just a different format that we also learned. Training session number four, our last training session was actually August 11th of 2022. And literally a week later is when we started our new courses for that new core for 8046. And so we have to be ready to go. And so our last training session on August 11th was all about rating and feedback, touched a lot more heavier on the speed grader and also on the rubrics again, how to manually enter grades. We talked about the annotation tools and how that work and even reassigning assignment. So all of these sessions were very, very helpful. And, and yeah, we were ready to go. I was, I was excited that once 8046 started that segment to all the instructors, they were ready to go on their campus. So we did a face for session and then online for sessions. We did, we know the tension spends. So we never went more than three hours, but always a couple of hours to the three hours in between. And the face to face, if they already learned, we let them go. So I want to have to do if they're already got it and we just moved on. So here you item that she show you how she did it. Our learners for our project goal is our nursing instructors and our goal is that all nursing instructors will be able to use Canvas and other technological resources to its full potential. So as a team, we decided to create a digital classroom for our instructors and we named it all things Canvas. And this is what you are seeing right now. And on here, we have, you know, just general resources for when we are hiring a new instructor. This is some important thing that they need to know. We also have our handbooks here for our campus for our three programs, vocational nursing nursing system on LB. We also have our board of vocational nursing, all our curriculum instructional plans that we are required to follow. Here, we have the Canvas resources and what I created here is a Canvas video library. And I chose videos that I felt that, you know, the instructors really need to know as far as those early stages of setting up the Canvas course. Now, they do have access to all of the library just by clicking here. But as you can see, I added about 12 videos here in regards to what I felt was the most important that instructors needed to know to start their campus building it up. So just basically that we customized our teaching materials to teach us. Also within the Canvas module is a step-by-step instructor guide. And again, I went over to Canvas resources and I chose some guides that I felt are going to be the most useful for our instructors. And again, they also have full access to all of the instructor guide just by clicking here and it directs them to the table of contents. And then also I had here have a question asked the Canvas community. So I felt like, you know, if they have a question, all they have to do is click on the word here, this logo Canvas, and it directly takes them over to the Canvas community and they can, you know, ask whatever question that they have. And then just some other, you know, technological resources that they need to know to be an instructor on our campus. This is Assessment Technology Institute, ATI resources, you know, how to create an account, a quick faculty quick start video, how to be an ATI champion. We use the publisher FA Davis, and so I created a module with some resources to help them to create that account, how to gain their access. Also within FA Davis and Davis Edge resources, along with Davis Advantage, and so right now, you know, our team, we are brainstorming and, you know, we are adding to this digital course and the whole goal is that we want our instructors to be comfortable with using technology. We want our instructors to know where to go to find resources. So if they are at home and they're, you know, working on their course, they can, you know, go directly to this, to this Canvas digital course and they can find helpful resources. So we're still building on it, but this is pretty much our whole goal for us, you know, as a team to help our instructors to just be Canvas experts is what we want for them. And, you know, it's really exciting, you know, and it's going to be so helpful because as we hire new instructors, I can just add them to this course, you know, add them as a student and they can just. You know, have everything there at their fingertips and not be intimidated and know, you know, that, you know, I'm there to help them, to support them, along with the rest of the team. And so this is a work in progress, and this is what we have started so far. And so, you know, I'm very, very pleased with it. And I'm excited, you know, the next, you know, throughout this D-LAC program within the next two years, how this course is going to have so much more, you know, for the instructors. And so, you know, we're very, very excited about this digital classroom for the instructors. So next one is, oops, so next, actually, this one is a teacher who actually. You see the back end of our transition from to Canvas from our two leaders? I would like to share the preliminary end results of the digital classroom. Here I have the template of my mental health class. I personally set up all my Canvas classrooms in a similar way. So the students are familiar with where I put things. The very first module here is where I provide reference guides. They have access to the Nurse Practice Act, our school handbook, a list of nursing diagnosis, a guide for troubleshooting ATI, which is a program that the students access frequently, and the syllabus. Subsequent modules are our daily classes. I load all PowerPoints, activities, and assignments and exams by day for the students to access. I am a paper-free classroom at this point with all assignments and exams taken and submitted through Canvas. I just have students upload reports or transfer grades from other programs we use to keep my gradebook up to date at all times. Other programs we use include practice question makes for our test book publisher and ATI, which is our partner for testing and other activities aimed towards NCLEX prep. I also have a module here at the bottom of my class to collect all makeup assignments and for students to submit their remediation forms. This is not applicable to all students, but having this submission here helps me to keep all documents for my class in one place for quick reference. The final module I have is for our Board of Vocational Nurses Compliance, and it remains hidden from students. It holds my course description, learning objectives, instructional plan, and daily lesson requirements. So the final, that I just suggest you to use this LMS because you're going to pay for free. Everything will be in the Canvas, and you can grade it there. So my very final afterthought is, our journey continues. But I want to just quote the jigger jiggler, his educator, surround yourself with those who see greatness in you, even when you don't see it in yourself. And I didn't see it how I can move these things, and I feel like I move the mountains. So the old town is invisible, what I couldn't see, and they see those things and let me know. So I think you're in the right place. So next time when I see you, maybe you're already adopting the Canvas.
