GENERAL INFORMATION

The eMajor program has an important role in the Complete College Georgia plan to accelerate the number of college graduates in the upcoming years. As a University System of Georgia initiative, eMajor is dedicated to acknowledging and addressing economic realities while focusing on creating a student culture of connection and quality.

eMajor provides accessible, flexible, and affordable higher education degree options that support the following Complete College Georgia initiatives:

Go Back Move Ahead is an integrated initiative that is aimed at assisting Georgia residents who have some college but no degree to return and complete credentials. eCore and eMajor Collaborative Programs are vital partners to the campaign’s success in providing ease of transition and access for the state’s adult learners. High Demand Career Initiative is focused on tomorrow’s workforce and filling Georgia’s employment gaps in high demand industry fields.

Complete College Georgia

eMajor programs utilize innovative methods to create an accelerated pathway to degree completion. These include program structure, enrollment and student support, built-in room for transfer credit, and credit for prior learning (CPL).

Program Structure The eMajor Collaborative Program structure promotes completion, utilizing eight week, accelerated courses which allow students to satisfy prerequisites and stack courses during any given term. Courses also have a standard course shell and syllabus, with material chunked into modules. This provides a consistent format for students, requiring less time to learn navigation.

Enrollment and Student Support Enrollment and student support is also available for prospective and current eMajor students. High-touch, customized enrollment support ensures that new or returning students have the tools and support to navigate the admissions and enrollment process, no matter which institution or program they select. Unofficial transcript reviews are available, which allows students to see where previous credit may fit in a new program. When students enroll and begin eMajor courses, they have an array of support available, including a dedicated Student Support Team to provide coaching and assistance throughout the term.

Built-in Room for Transfer Credit The eMajor Collaborative Programs have room in the curriculum for transfer credit and also utilize articulation agreements with other USG and TCSG schools to accept bulk credit for certain programs. The ORGL program, specifically, includes an unarticulated Area F, which can shorten time to degree completion for undecided or change of major students.

Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) eMajor Collaborative programs have options for students to receive credit for prior learning by demonstrating learning that has taken place outside of a classroom setting. There are several common assessment methods within the Organizational Leadership (ORGL) and Criminal Justice (CRJU) bachelor degree programs, including a challenge exam, portfolio, or a hybrid combination of both.

Pathways to Faster Degree Completion

Collaborative vs. Single Institution Programs

eMajor Collaborative Programs

The University System of Georgia’s eMajor program presently offers fully online degrees in both collaborative and single institution formats. Degrees offered in a collaborative setting are taught by instructors from multiple USG partner institutions and include students from multiple institutions, as well. Degrees offered in a single institution format are taught by instructors from only one institution and include students from the same institution.

Degrees offered in collaborative programs are taught by instructors from multiple USG institutions and include students from multiple institutions. Students who wish to pursue an eMajor Collaborative Degree must be admitted to an institution that offers the degree.

For collaborative programs, students enroll in their institutional Banner system. Course registrations are then transferred through INGRESS (a USG multi-institutional registration solution) to GoVIEW, the USG learning management system for collaborative programs. This approach allows cross registration from multiple institutions.

Oversight of each eMajor degree content and curriculum falls under the collaborative auspices of the faculty of the affiliate institutions. The Provost of each affiliated institution is responsible for appointing a faculty member to the Curriculum Leadership Committee (CLC) annually. The CLC members demonstrate academic oversight of the program for their institution.

eMajor offers two collaborative programs: the Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and the Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership.

Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership• Concentration in Healthcare Administration• Concentration in Office Administration and Technology• Concentration in Public Service

For FY 2017, all three concentrations are available through Darton State College (now Albany State University), Dalton State College, and Fort Valley State University, whereas the University of West Georgia offers the concentration in Public Service only. Bachelor of Science in Criminal JusticeThe Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice is offered through Dalton State College and Georgia Southwestern State University.

Student Engagement and Success

eMajor has a clearly defined process for supporting and assisting students toward full engagement and success in their coursework. This process includes providing students with access to academic resources and online tutoring options. The eMajor intervention process has become one of the hallmarks of the program. This model provides professors an opportunity to report struggling students on a weekly basis and allows the eCampus Student Success Team to reach out and contact students to provide resource solutions. Afterwards, the Student Success Team members will provide feedback regarding communication with students to professors in order for them to remain informed and able to accurately follow up with at-risk students. This closes the loop back to the professor on the follow-up process. If a student does choose to withdraw from an eMajor course, a withdrawal survey is requested to gather data on the student’s eMajor learning experience, and the Student Success Team will contact the student about the withdrawal to provide details and options for an informed decision.

Success Team Call Email eMajor Student

AND

FY 2017 Outreach ActivitiesPreemptive Call Cycle1-2 weeks prior to the beginning of the semester, welcome and getting started emails are sent, and the SST begins reaching out to students enrolled in more than three eMajor classes.

Day 3 Not Logged In (NLI) Call CycleOn the 3rd day of the semester, students who have not yet logged in to their classes are contacted via phone and email.

Day 5 Not Logged In (NLI) Call CycleOn the 5th day of the semester, students who have missed the log in deadline and are from schools who typically withdraw for non-attendance are contacted by phone and email.

At-Risk EntriesThroughout the semester, SST members reach out to students who faculty have identified as needing assistance.

Withdrawal RequestsThroughout the semester, SST members reach out to students who submit a withdrawal (within two business days) to help the student make an informed decision.

Student Withdrawal Survey

A student submits a withdrawal request by completing a survey. The survey collects information regarding the reasons, factors, and experiences that influenced the decision to submit the request. eCampus contacts the student within 2 business days of this request to provide additional details for an informed decision. A student can cancel the request in this 2-day window, but no eMajor cancellations occurred in FY 2017. Affiliate institutions may withdraw students administratively, circumventing the withdrawal request, such as at the beginning of the term for non-attendance. The following represents the data from the withdrawal survey for FY 2017.

FACULTY AND COURSE INFORMATION


eMajor Leadership Organizational Structure

Executive Director of Academics

Curriculum Leadership Committee (CLC)Oversight of each eMajor collaborative degree content and curriculum falls under the collaborative auspices of the faculty of the affiliate institutions. A curriculum committee for each degree, consisting of one credentialed, full-time faculty member from each affiliate institution, will:

• Serve as Institutional Academic Program Leads• Ensure that eMajor Courses must share common prefixes, numbers, titles, descriptions, learning objectives, credit

hours, co-/pre-requisites, and syllabi across all eMajor Affiliate Partners. • Develop/revise course syllabi, utilizing the common eMajor syllabus framework.• Develop/revise general course structure, utilizing common eMajor course shell.• Record and implement improvements to be made based on evaluations of student learning outcomes, student

evaluations and other factors.• Submit faculty credentials for approval to the eMajor Advisory Committee (through the eMajor Executive Director of

Academics), with provost representation from each institution.

The curriculum committees will meet twice each academic year. Appointments to each curriculum committee will be made annually (renewable) by the provost of each affiliate institution (the provost may serve in this role him or herself). The institution should also appoint a credentialed secondary liaison to assist or serve as backup for the primary. The Institutional Academic Program Leads will be paid a stipend of $2000 per semester, beginning Fall 2016.

The Executive Director of Academics is a member of the curriculum committee. The responsibilities of this individual are to:

• Serve as primary contact for academic inquiries from the eMajor administration.• Coordinate with the Curriculum Leadership Committee (CLC) to provide for a draft two-year plan of course

offerings with appropriate/proportionate faculty appointments from each affiliate institution. Proportionality may be roughly determined by projected student enrollment.

• Conduct initial review of potential faculty credentials from affiliates, ensuring a sufficient ratio of full-time faculty.

• Maintain a pool of approved regular and adjunct faculty to be utilized for last-minute course section additions.

• Convene and chair curriculum committee meetings regularly.• Develop systems of learning outcome assessment, and provide data to USG eCampus for compilation

into annual reports.• Facilitate faculty best practices, continuity of courses through common textbooks and course shell, and

ongoing faculty development.• Serve as second level for grade appeal process as described in the eMajor grade appeal procedure.• Work with instructional designers to report or assist in making course revisions.• Coordinate end-of-term evaluations of all eMajor teaching faculty using approved instrument.• Oversee formal review process of eMajor courses according to development and revision schedule.

The outlined organizational structure applies only to eMajor Collaborative Programs. eMajor Single Institution Programs follow established institutional procedures.



eMajor Advisory Committee

Once an institution becomes an eMajor affiliate, its designated academic representative (Provost/VPAA) becomes part of the USG eMajor Advisory Committee. The eMajor Advisory Committee consists of the designated academic representative from each affiliate institution, the eMajor Executive Director of Academics, the Dean of USG eCampus and a representative from the USG System Office. Each member serves as the formal representative of his or her respective institution. The responsibilities of the eMajor Advisory Committee are:

• To provide for strategic direction of eMajor, recommending quality standards and effective delivery and support structures

• To create and approve academic policies and best practices• To review and approve all faculty teaching eMajor courses• To annually review the consortial agreements of the respective member institutions, ensuring that the arrangement

is consistent with the institution’s mission and capacity for commitment to online student success• To review annual assessment data regarding program outcomes and student learning and make recommendations

The eMajor Advisory Committee meets annually.



Faculty Credentialing GuideThe Curriculum Leadership Committee (CLC) member at each institution is responsible for recommending appropriately credentialed faculty members to teach eMajor collaborative courses. The eMajor credential guide is below:

For eMajor Single Institution Programs, faculty are selected and assigned by the institutional department.

Current and Upcoming Innovations

Addressing Cheating in Quizzes One of eMajor’s greatest concerns is the academic integrity of our courses. To help curb cheating, the Instructional Design & Development (IDD) team and the Curriculum Design & Development (CI) Team have taken a three-prong approach.

1. Instructional Designers have been working with subject matter experts to provide extra questions for course exams. This larger bank allows the instructor to randomly load questions in exams, creating a different exam experience for each student.

2. The syllabus, start module, and course homepage all address academic honesty and provide statements concerning copyright of the course material and how it cannot be made available to 3rd party vendors.

3. Finally, the CI Team has ramped up its efforts to locate exam questions that are shared on 3rd party websites and have them removed.

Course Homepage Layout/Navigation

DocReader

The Daylight update, planned to launch summer 2018, changes the look and feel of the learning management system (LMS). Mostly cosmetic, this update provides a cleaner look to the course content and homepage modules. It also updates assignments, quizzes, and discussions, to make each component mobile friendly. To prepare for this update, the course homepage has been reorganized to place the most important components of the course, announcements and calendar, at the top of the page. The two column approach to the homepage design has been recommended to all institutions that are switching over to Daylight.

The DocReader software integration was implemented in all eMajor courses in the GoVIEW LMS during Fall 2016. As an extension of ReadSpeaker, DocReader is a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) integration that provides students the option to listen to an audio version of the following file types within the LMS: Word, PDF, and Power Point. Students can follow along with the audio with automatically highlighted text and can “pick and choose” which text to read aloud. Students are also able to download an audio version of the file to listen to at a later time.



Faculty Guide ImprovementTo provide a more streamlined experience for eMajor instructors, the eMajor IDD team will continue to update the Instructor Guides with important information, including:

• Course Objectives and which assignments directly measure these objectives. • Overview of the course/unit structure, with suggestions on how to restructure the course to better fit the 16 week/8 week course deliveries. • Overview of grading and course assignments, with suggestions for further content and/or changing course material.

Our goal is to provide the correct information and flexibility for instructors so that they may customize the course to how they see fit.

Multimedia EnhancementAlongside our initiative to improve the experience for students, eMajor has started implementing more multimedia in the courses. Before, most courses were mostly text-based. The multimedia enhancements provide a better way to chunk and present material. This enhancement includes improvements in audio, video, and image based content.

Start ModuleTo introduce students to the course, the Start module has been added to better explain the course learning outcomes, attendance requirements, academic honesty, and general course information. Future updates will include a video introduction to the subject matter and how it can be applied to future course content, career skills, and general life skills.



HTML Interactive Template

Kaltura

To create a more interactive experience to eMajor students, the IDD Team created a new HTML template that uses CSS3 and Java Script. This includes crossword puzzles, flip cards, accordions, and more. This template will continuously be updated to accommodate the various ways student access course content.

The Kaltura video hosting solution provides eMajor a more accurate method for measuring the engagement our students have with video content within the course, provides an extra layer of interactivity, and helps address student access through mobile devices and slow-internet connection areas. Unlike YouTube, Kaltura provides specific analytics related to the number of views, drop-off rates/times, and video source locations. This will help the IDD Team pinpoint the more successful videos and to determine at what runtime students lose interest in a particular video. For interactivity, Kaltura allows the IDD Team to create quizzes that are embedded within the videos. Finally, Kaltura provides “flavors,” or various versions of the video, to address issues in accessing the video content through mobile devices and providing lower quality videos for students who are accessing content in slow-internet areas. Currently, Kaltura is localized to the IDD Team, but there are plans to offer this integration for instructor/student use in the near future.



Credit for Prior LearningeMajor collaborative programs (Organizational Leadership and Criminal Justice) have options for students to receive credit for prior learning (CPL) by demonstrating learning that has taken place outside of a classroom setting. Official CPL options became available through eMajor in Fall 2017; however, these may have been available at the institutional level prior to that time. The eMajor program utilizes several common assessment methods within the Organizational Leadership (ORGL) and Criminal Justice (CRJU) bachelor degree programs, including a challenge exam, portfolio, or a hybrid combination of both. eMajor adheres to Council of Adult and Experiential Learning’s “Ten Standards for Assessing Learning” when assessing and implementing CPL.

As of Fall 2017, there are 33 available CPL options through eMajor:

Open Education Resources Initiatives

Students must be currently enrolled and in good standing at their home institution to attempt credit for prior learning through eMajor. Further, they must be a declared ORGL or CRJU major and must not have previously attempted the course. Students must follow institutional guidelines pertaining to maximum number of hours allowed through CPL.

All collaborative program courses are reviewed on an ongoing basis for CPL eligibility through the outlined eMajor course revision process.

Collaborative program students may also take the Georgia Government Challenge Exam. Students who have previously taken and passed POLS 1101 (American Government) from a school outside of the University System of Georgia are missing the legislative requirement for Georgia History and Constitution and have the option to take the online Georgia Government Review course. The course will provide the necessary information and materials that students need to prepare for the challenge exam.

eMajor Single Institution Programs follow the CPL procedures of their home institution.

The following collaborative courses use Open Education Resources (OER).



eMajor Student Opinion of Instruction Survey

94% of the students indicated that they agreed or strongly agreed that their instructor helped them identify important points in the course content (4% undecided).

FINANCIAL INFORMATION


eMajor Collaborative Programs Financial Model

eMajor Single Institution Programs Financial Model

The eMajor financial model consists of three cost centers: the administrative institution, the student home institution, and the faculty home institution. The financial model differs between collaborative and single institution eMajor programs as explained in the following sections.

USG eCampus bills the affiliate institution per credit hour based on total institutional eMajor enrollment at the designated eCampus census date. eCampus surveys all partners to gather drop for non-payment dates prior to setting the census date. All drops for non-payment, non-attendance, and withdrawals should be processed before the established census date so that institutions are not billed for these. Additionally, all Dual Enrollment 62+ waiver and TAP students are requested from each institution to adjust/exclude from billing as needed. The amount to be billed depends on the program and services selected by the affiliate. It is at the institution’s discretion to have the faculty member teach eMajor courses in-load as opposed to the model below.

The financial model differs for each Single Institution Program and is dependent on eMajor services rendered. The specific financial model for each Single Institution Program is outlined in the Service Level Agreement.

Course Revision and Development Costs

Tuition Generated by Program (Collaboratives)

Course revision and development costs were imperative to continuing the ORGL degree program through the process of adopting new course nomenclatures and learning outcomes associated with the transition to USG eCampus. In addition, the CRJU degree program required course development to build out the common courses for the online arena. The expenses captured include stipends for subject matter experts and associated instructional design costs .

In addition to reducing costs through introducing open education resources to existing courses, eMajor has also worked to develop courses that do not require a textbook. The following courses were developed without a textbook requirement:

In Fall 2016, eMajor began introducing Open Education Resources (OERs) to select courses. Since that time, the program has accumulated a total OER cost savings to the student of over $24,000 dollars

The eMajor program was established with the purpose of offering full bachelor’s degrees in an online format with the expectation that a student (having completed their core curriculum either through transfer credit, at their home institution, or through eCore) would declare one of the available degrees as his or her major, progress through the curriculum, and graduate from that program. Research Outcomes is an attempt to view the data from a summarized level. As the program is reviewed annually, the data will be studied across time. This includes enrollment patterns, success rates, semester-return retention rates, and graduation rates among students with eMajor degrees as their declared major.

Retention

USG eCampus studies the retention of students in eMajor programs from term to term. For retention study purposes, all students were considered “new” at the onset of the USG eCampus transition in Summer 2016. GSW BBA and MGSU FinTech programs began Spring 2017. Because there is only one term of study, there is no retention information.


RESEARCH OUTCOMES

Graduation USG eCampus studies the graduation rate of students enrolled in eMajor programs, with declared majors in those programs.
