Online Submission
As the largest higher education system across the nation, California State University (CSU) has been championing advancements in instructional technology and teaching innovations across face-to-face, interactive television, hybrid, and online platforms. This report focuses on needs pertinent to the southern San Joaquin Valley and Antelope Valley. Thus, the report begins with an "Introduction" section describing the service region of CSU, Bakersfield (CSUB) in support of the Quality Assurance (QA) training for instructors and course certification for the institution. Recent CSUB initiatives are addressed in the "Campus QA Background" section to examine indicators of the ongoing capacity building in Academic Year (AY) 2016-17. In addition, "QA Professional Development" results are articulated with an overview of course certification status to facilitate analyses of student learning outcomes. Furthermore, contextual information is incorporated from the institutional research office to assess the impact of online and hybrid course offerings on students from diversified demographic backgrounds. The university transcript records are extracted to confirm the comparison of student performance in online, hybrid, and other course settings. Survey data are analyzed from 103 students who enrolled in online and/or hybrid courses taught by 10 instructors in AY 2016-17. The report concludes with recommendations for sustaining ongoing progress of the SQuAIR project at CSUB and beyond.
