QEP...do you know it?
The J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College
Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) will have a ripple effect on student success in
Distance Learning. Students will be
ready to take classes online and
oriented to the online learning environment. Plus,
faculty will be well
trained in the latest online teaching methods.
The Ripple Effect: Transforming Distance Learning,
One Student & One Instructor at a Time
The Ripple Effect represents the phenomena that occur when expanding ripples of current develop from a singular point of origin. When the paradigm of The Ripple Effect is applied to economics, sociology, education, or any other context of human interaction, we witness the emergence of transformative and expansive energies: from the center of an innovative idea, or the root of a nourishing source, or the invigoration of one determined mind - the circles widen to affect change, to refresh vision, and to lead into new potentialities.
J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College has selected the paradigm
of The Ripple Effect as the representative model of its Quality Enhancement
Plan. Focused upon student success in distance learning as the “singular point of origin,” The Ripple Effect represents the unbound and fluid movement of transformative energy that will filter into the full breadth of the College, affecting students, faculty, administrators, and academic programs. The transformations and enhancements to the college’s
distance learning program through assessing the preparedness of students
for the online environment, orienting students to the online environment,
as well as improving distance learning courses through faculty training,
will eventually broaden their reach into all instructional programs
and into all classrooms, regardless of whether the instructional
delivery mode is online, hybrid, or face-to-face.
The
Ripple Effect: Transforming Student Success in Distance Learning,
One Student & One Instructor at a Time focuses upon three areas in order to significantly impact distance learning at the institution:
