Engaging Students through

MOBILE TECHNOLOGY Mobile technology allows instructors to bring the classroom into the real world. By leveraging available technologies, eductors are able to create assignments and learning experiences that are both engaging and relevant. “I use mobile technology to engage students and to make assignments more real and meaningful,” said Dr. Jennifer Freed, faculty chair for eLearning design at Rio Salado College. According to Freed, when students can relate to the assignment and it makes sense, the experience is more genuine. “As an example, if you’re teaching a sociology class and you’re looking for a concept in action in the real world, send the student to the mall with their mobile phone,” Freed said. “If they see the concept in action, have them record it and make a podcast. Have them explain what they see and what’s going on and what the context is-- as it happens. Then they can upload the podcast and that’s the assignment.”

Freed also engages students by using an opt-in program called “text Plus” to provide students with updates and news information in real time. The program allows users to send text messages to multiple recipients without referencing a personal phone number. According to Freed, most students already have some form of a mobile

device or smartphone and don’t need to purchase extra equipment to complete mobile assignments. “Students today grew up with this stuff,” Freed said. “The devices are getting more powerful and less expensive. It’s a priority

for students and for kids to get their cell phone, so most of them already have one.” Rio Salado eLearning design students who are interested in generating mobile content can take “Mobile Devices as Learning Tools” (ELN116) as an elective. The course is completely devoted to mobile learning and by the end of the class, students will have written their own mobile application. Freed also said the college’s online learning platform, RioLearn, renders well on a mobile browser and that she believes that the college is working toward a more mobile student experience. “I’d love to see us build our own mobile course catalog that would allow students to browse through courses that are relevant to their own degree programs,” Freed said. “Imagine if we could include interactive college news, program checksheets and student support functionality,” Freed said. “That would be really cool!”

Café @ Rio Supports the

LOCAVORE MOVEMENT In November 2007 the New Oxford American Dictionary announced locavore as the word of the year. Since the word’s creation by local food activist Jessica Prentice of San Francisco, many people have accepted the challenge to eat locally grown food whenever possible. Chef Michael Hodgins does his part to support the locavore movement by incorporating only the freshest ingredients into the Café @ Rio menu. “The first place I look for fresh food is at the farmers markets,” said Hodgins. “I personally talk to each farmer and ask to visit their farms to see if they meets high standards. Anything from a local farm or garden is the best, because as soon as produce is picked, it begins to deteriorate and loose nutritional value.” Locavores, like Hodgins, buy from local producers so that money spent will circulate in the local economy, but

the benefits of buying locally extends beyond the financial. The closer the food, the fewer miles it has to travel, generally resulting in greater freshness and a lower carbon footprint. “Less distance between you and the farmer the fresher,” Hodgins said. “Eating locally not only keeps the money local but can reduce wasted energy on food miles.” According to some of the Cafe @ Rio’s vendors, a locavore lifestyle can have a significant impact on the consumer, the community and the environment. • “The benefits of buying locally is that the money stays here and it’s harvested for the consumer to order. Fresh !” – Michael, Love Grows Farms • “Buying local means buying the freshest meat possible. The pork we sell at The MEAT SHOP leaves the farm on Monday and is processed and ready to serve to the consumer on Tuesday, unlike meat that takes up to six months to reach the consumer.” –Beth, The MEAT SHOP

By Tyler Pace

• “Buying locally helps keep available farmland farmable. Once farmland has an oﬃce building on top of it, it’s unlikely that it will become farmland again. Buying locally supports the farmers and keeps the farmland alive.” – Jennifer Woods, Crooked Sky Farms Surprisingly, Hodgins admits he was not always a locavore. It took years as a chef to realize the benefits of going local. “I used to think a good chef was one who could get anything in any season, create a menu, and then finding the food,” said Hodgins. “Yet when I lived in the Bay area I saw this culture of local produce and famers markets and it was there that I realized I needed to do the same here. I have been trying to serve local food for seven years. Now, I see what is available locally, and then I make my menu.”

NIGHT WATCHMAN Eyes Better Future through Education Randall Bird knows security cameras. He is also well-versed in blind spots, motion sensors and locks. As a night watchman, Bird is counted on to provide the security and protection that a camera can’t capture. “Having a living body on location is a great deterrent to crime,” Bird said. “And in the event that something goes wrong, a good report is always a plus in the eyes of a court and an insurance company.” As a budding writer, Bird’s reports are an extension of his passion: creative writing. The married father of three (and two foster

Randall Bird meets author Laurie Notaro at Rio Salado College.

children) works full-time while also taking creative writing classes at Tempe’s Rio Salado College as part of his long term goal to become an author and English teacher. Four years ago, Bird’s wife Becky was researching colleges for her own career in education, and came across Rio Salado.

By Mira Radovich

“I was looking for classes that would help me tighten up my writing,” Bird said, adding that he also enjoys the school’s flexibility. “What I like best about Rio Salado is that I can access my school work at any time online. But what really sold me was the catalog for the creative writing program, which covers everything from screenplays to short stories, novel preparation and editing.” Bird credits Rio’s faculty members and instructors for helping him grow as a writer. “Sandra Marinella (creative writing coordinator at Rio Salado) has been a real driving force, challenging me in terms of how I write and how I present my work,” Bird said. Originally a science fiction writer influenced by a Dungeons and Dragons childhood, Bird has broadened his repertoire thanks to feedback from other writers. “Once I was exposed to the online writing community, I began to feel the need to expand and experiment with other styles ranging from romance to comedy and beyond,” Bird said. Last spring, one of Bird’s writing instructors nominated him for a scholarship to attend the “Desert Nights,

Rising Stars” writing conference at Arizona State University. “This was actually a very important event for me because it let me interact with a large group of writers one-onone and attend lectures by some of the brightest and most talented wordsmiths I have ever met,” Bird said. For now, Bird happily balances work time and family life as his wife finishes her teaching degree at Rio Salado. “It’s a cooperative effort with my wife,” Bird said. “We work in shifts with the kids and sometimes go with just a few hours of sleep. It is stressful and exhausting at times. It sounds crazy, but it works well.” Bird doesn’t even seem to mind his graveyard shifts. “Aside from the occasional scrap metal hunter jumping into a trash receptacle or a copper thief trying to yank fittings off the building, very little actually happens,” Bird said.

Hmmm. Sounds like the first chapter of Bird’s next literary endeavor.

Promote Open Education In 1978, Maricopa County Community College District Chancellor Paul Elsner recognized a need for a non-traditional approach to make education more accessible despite common obstacles such as distance, time and cost. More than 33 years later, Rio Salado is still breaking down barriers to education. The cost-free Early American Literature textbook project, initiated by Rio Salado College instructional designer Michael Medlock, is a great example of Rio’s agility in implementing new ideas. Medlock said the idea came to him while attending a presentation on open educational resources. Because his Early American Literature course (ENH241) deals with works published prior to 1923, there isn’t a copyright on any of the required readings. “All text selections are in the public domain and we also found a source

through our library database for author biographies,” Medlock said. “Originally we were going to have faculty and adjunct faculty write the author bio’s, but we were able to use an existing resource by the Gale Research Company that’s already available and free to all Rio students.” According to Medlock, the project went from concept to completion in record time, thanks to the passion of his team. By using the Gale biography database instead of crowdsourcing the biographical content, Medlock was able to provide a consistent experience to students while significantly reducing the amount of time needed to finish the project. English Department Faculty Chair Kathleen Dunley was also enthusiastic about the project. “The open source textbook is an example of what can be done when educators break away from tradition and look for

alternatives,” Dunley said. “I really think the willingness to learn a new process and the ability to then turn around and share what we’ve learned with the world is what makes this project so exciting.” Not only has the project allowed Rio Salado to eliminate the textbook cost for students in ENH241, but by publishing the text in digital format under a Creative Commons license, it becomes publicly available to anyone who would like to use it. Any other college could adapt the text to their own course and reduce costs for their students as well. “Rio adds value by adding instruction and packaging the materials into an online course for college credit, but anyone in the world can access the text and use it free of charge,” Medlock said.

BOOT CAMP

By Mira Radovich

Helps Veterans Prepare for the Future To help Arizona’s veterans prepare for their future, the East Valley Veterans Education Center (EVVEC) hosted a “Veterans’ Boot Camp” program that offered educational and vocational support designed for the success of our nation’s heroes. “The goal of boot camp is to help veteran’s secure great careers,” said Rico Lollie, Coordinator of Veterans Services at the EVVEC. The weeklong program, held in partnership with Chandler University, consisted of 40-hours of intense training that included computer skills, physical fitness activities, social networking, financial management and corporate etiquette. “By having the private sector train veterans on reintegrating, we are introducing them directly to potential employers,” said Lollie. Classes were taught by successful

veterans who have transitioned from the military to the private or public sector. Participants learned innovative job search techniques and networking skills needed for success in the current workplace, such as creating personal pages on the LinkedIn career networking website. “The boot camp program empowers veterans to break through barriers and deal with the challenges they often face when transitioning from the military to a civilian career,” said Jamie L. McDaniel, Student Services Specialist at the EVVEC. Rio Salado is the host college of the EVVEC, which opened in early 2011 in Tempe, and provides educational outreach and college advisement services to veterans and their family members at no cost. In addition to Boot Camp, military students and veterans can take advantage of Rio’s online classes, as well as a dedicated Military Education Program staff with

extensive military experience, and a broad range of services including registration, tutoring, academic advising, library and counseling. “There are more veteran students now than we have ever seen,” said Gary Marabella, veteran affairs representative at Rio Salado College. “Rio Salado’s online classes give military students, both active soldiers and veterans, a flexible option for their education.”

SPOT 127.0.0.1 By Annette Flores KJZZ Public Relations Coordinator

The Valley’s public radio station KJZZ 91.5 is collaborating with Rio Salado College to launch a new after-school program to train and mentor the next generation of public broadcasters. It’s called SPOT 127.0.0.1—that’s Internet code w for “home.” For the sake of space, and to coin the first of what will likely become several incarnations the youth media students will come up with, KJZZ is calling the center SPOT 127 for short. SPOT 127 will be located at 3701 W. Thomas Road. in Phoenix in an existing building made available through Rio’s partnership with the Phoenix Union High School District (PUHSD). The 7,430 square-foot center is already wired for digital interfaces and has plenty of space for students to work on and showcase their multi-media productions. Rio faculty and staff will provide curriculum development support to help train students in all aspects of digital media

production and PUHSD may assist in identifying students for the program. “SPOT 127 demonstrates Rio’s commitment to community development,” said Dr. Chris Bustamante, Rio Salado College President. “This collaboration is an example of how we are redefining the educational model to meet the unique needs of non-traditional students in communities where they live.” “The goal of SPOT 127 is to engage youth with tools that are likely to be of interest to them,” said Lou Stanley, KJZZ Associate General Manager. “Ultimately, we want to develop a continuous pathway for young people to pursue higher educational opportunities An important component of SPOT 127 and to understand the is the Food Journalism curriculum.

NATIONAL MODEL FOR COMPLETION By Patricia Moore

Rio Salado College is nationally recognized as an institution that can beat the odds when it comes to helping students most prone to dropping out of college. In a national report published last fall by HCM Strategists, a Washington, D.C. public policy advocacy firm, Rio Salado is profiled along with 30+ postsecondary institutions for its efforts to improve college completion rates and prepare students for successful careers. “Beating the Odds: What It Means and Why It’s Important,” developed with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is the result of a series of conversations with leaders from 32 postsecondary institutions about what colleges must do to help students – particularly low-income, minority and adult students – successfully earn a degree. Each of the colleges and universities featured in the report is considered a national model for their approaches to boost completion rates. “The odds of a low-income American completing college haven’t changed in at least 20 years,” said Kristin Conklin, founding

partner at HCM Strategists. “Rio Salado College is demonstrating how to beat those odds, ensure student success and help our economy recover. Today these campuses are the exception. The Beating the Odds report provides a blueprint for others to follow and help change the exception to the rule in postsecondary education.” According to Rio Salado College President Chris Bustamante, educators have an obligation to provide students with accessible solutions. “With tuition rising faster than the rate of inflation and the best paying jobs requiring a college degree, specialized certification or licensure; we have a responsibility to find solutions that lower costs for students,” Bustamante said. We need to innovate. We need new models of education to leverage public resources through private and public partnerships and increase the capacity to serve non-traditional students through productive and cost eﬃcient means,” said Bustamante.
