Written testimony about the Columbia Social Work online program for the New Jersey State Legislature's Senate Higher Education Committee public hearing about online degree offerings by institutions of higher education
No full textThis is the written testimony and accompanying handout for the New Jersey State Legislature’s Senate Higher Education Committee public hearing on February 25, 2020. The hearing topic was "The Committee will receive testimony from invited guests on online degree offerings by institutions of higher education."
The focus of the testimony was on three elements of how Columbia University’s School of Social Work runs its online Master of Science in Social Work program in-house: First, the quality of the education provided for online students; second, the quality of the overall experience provided for online students; and third, the interconnectedness of the online campus and New York City-based residential campus.
This testimony described the online program's model from 2015, when the program launched, through early 2020, when the hearing took place. Since that time, the program model has evolved.
The testimony is also available on the New Jersey State Legislature's website: https://njleg.state.nj.us/public-hearings#SH

Turning classroom training into interactive, effective online training on a budget
Get PDFOrganizations can save money, expand their reach to clients, and build their employees’ skills and engagement by bringing training for clients or staff online. This workshop will help participants harness technology for social good by converting classroom-based training into online training.
By the end of this workshop, participants should be able to:
Decide whether or not online training is a good fit for your organization;
Describe how to decide what type of online training best fits your organization’s unique circumstances;
Build your professional toolkits with strategies and techniques for converting classroom-based training into online training.
Organizations may face challenges with providing training to small batches of new hires, to seasonal employees with high turnover, to employees who work remotely or in different locations, or to clients who don’t want to travel to the organization’s office. Classroom-based training in those instances can be expensive and time-intensive. One way to address these challenges can be to harness technology for social good by bringing training online, where it can be cost-effective, high quality, and potentially available anytime. Participants will learn how to do this in a way that engages employees or clients, so as to maintain or increase morale while saving money at the same time

In this session, we will share the planning process driving our successful online events, share the technology and strategies used to engage participants, and share how we’ve addressed challenges that have come up during the live events. Participants will be encouraged to share successes and challenges from their own online events, so that the group can learn from each other, and there will be time to ask questions as well.
The goals for this session:
By the end of this session, participants should be able to:
– Describe the benefits of online events, from marketing and retention through alumni and community engagement
– Describe the elements of successful online events, from planning through execution

Lessons Learned from an ePortfolio Pilot

To meet these goals, the pilot involved collaboration between the instructor, educational technologists at Columbia University’s Center for Teaching and Learning, and representatives from the ePortfolio tool, Seelio
