Investigating ways to assess AXIO Learning Management Systems as blended/accelerated courses at Colby Community College: Part Two - Feasibility

10 a.m. - 10:50 a.m. Banquet Room B Dr. Angela Dijanic

Through the development and progression of information technologies,
traditional education has moved increasingly into new realms of
pedagogical dispersion. At Colby Community College, the introduction
of AXIO Learning Management Systems, used as blended courses, allows
students to choose how, when, and where to learn. But, in spite of
the technologically focused advancements in learning, the process of
assessment and evaluation is still bound in tradition and is a topic
that does not generate consistent results or protocol. This is the
follow up study to last years investigation into ways to assess
blended/accelerated courses using the Axio LMS. In this
investigation, we consider the question, “ do we want to continue with
this method of pedagogical dispersion or not?” and more importantly
why or why not?
