Switching from In-Class Learning to Online Classes at Algonquin College due to COVID-19

Charter:

Project: Switching from In-Class Learning to Online Classes

Project Manager: [Insert Project Manager Name]

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted traditional in-class learning at Algonquin College. To ensure the continuity of education and prioritize the health and safety of students and staff, the college has decided to transition from in-class learning to online classes. This project aims to facilitate a smooth and effective transition to online learning platforms.

Purpose of the Project:

The purpose of this project is to enable Algonquin College to transition seamlessly from in-class learning to online classes. By implementing appropriate technological infrastructure, training resources, and support systems, the project aims to ensure a high-quality and engaging learning experience for students and instructors.

Current State:

Currently, Algonquin College primarily conducts its classes in physical classrooms, with limited online learning offerings. The existing infrastructure and systems are not optimized for a complete shift to online education. Faculty and students have limited experience with online learning platforms, creating a need for comprehensive training and support.

Future State:

The future state of this project will involve a fully functional and efficient online learning environment at Algonquin College. Students and faculty will have access to user-friendly online platforms, interactive learning tools, and comprehensive support services. The transition will enable seamless delivery of courses, effective communication, and engagement among students and instructors in a virtual setting.

Scope:

Business Requirements:

• Develop or enhance the existing Learning Management System (LMS) to support online course delivery.
• Provide training and support resources to faculty members for adapting their courses to the online format.
• Establish effective communication channels for student-instructor and student-student interactions.
• Ensure the availability of necessary hardware, software, and internet connectivity for students and faculty.
• Implement assessment and evaluation mechanisms suitable for online learning.
• Establish guidelines and protocols for online classroom management and student conduct.

Major Deliverables:

• Upgraded or developed Learning Management System (LMS)
• Faculty training and support resources for online teaching
• Communication and collaboration tools for students and instructors
• Hardware and software infrastructure for online learning
• Assessment and evaluation framework for online courses
• Online classroom management guidelines

Success Criteria:

The success of the project will be measured by:

• Successful migration of courses to the online platform within the designated timeframe
• Positive feedback from faculty and students regarding the quality and usability of online learning tools and resources
• High levels of student engagement and participation in online classes
• Timely completion of training programs for faculty members
• Seamless communication and collaboration among students and instructors in the online environment

Out of Scope:

• The project does not include the development of new academic programs or courses.
• It does not address issues related to admissions or enrollment processes.
• Infrastructure improvements not directly related to online learning are considered out of scope.

Risk:

Known Project Risks:

• Limited faculty expertise in online teaching methods and technologies
• Inadequate technological infrastructure and resources for online learning
• Potential resistance to change from faculty and students
• Connectivity and accessibility issues for students with limited internet access
• Potential for increased workload for faculty during the transition period

Assumptions:

• Sufficient support and cooperation from faculty members and administrative staff
• Adequate availability of budget and resources for implementing the necessary technological upgrades
• Access to reliable internet connectivity for students and faculty
• Willingness of students to adapt to the online learning format

Constraints:

• Project budget limitations
• Time constraints for training faculty and implementing technical upgrades
• Potential challenges in coordinating and managing a large-scale transition to online learning

Time:

High-level Project Duration: 6 months to 1 year (depending on the scale and complexity of the transition)

Schedule Milestones:

• Develop project plan and secure necessary approvals - Month 1
• Upgrade or develop Learning Management System - Months 2-4
• Faculty training and support - Months 2-6
