Goal 3 SWOT

3.2: By 2010, virtual and/or second life worlds will constitute 50% of the learning management platform content cutting across leadership for innovation, student services, and curriculum and instruction services.

Technical issues in local schools

Competing priorities in different divisions may tax capacity

Budget

Opportunity

Training (PD) for schools to make them more comfortable with virtual worlds

Partnership opportunities continue to expand

Creating a student orientation

Too many options without integration

No set plan for how to integrate for each division

Capacity of staff to integrate full time

Budget has hindered full development and roll out

Demand for virtual worlds continues to increase

Second Life Island for NCVPS created for professional development

Partnerships with App State for Active Worlds

3.3: By 2010, NCVPS LEA will establish one 21st Century partnership annually in collaboration with parents, students, businesses, education institutions, and faith-based and other community and civic organizations to impact student success.

Capacity (budget)

Schools developing their own courses and student services

Compassionate Baptist outreach

NCPTA outreach

Expand our social network outreach

No defined action plan and deliverables have been defined

Time to coordinate has been difficult due to competing priorities

Strength

NCDLA Virtual Conference

Involvement with DPI Council for Future Ready Core

Expanded our liaison to DPI Student Services (Teresa Smith) and DPI Charter Schools

Pilot initiative is still on-going

Partnerships with virtual worlds teams (App State, Mark Spivy, etc.)

Use of Facebook as an outreach strategy

3.1: By 2010, stakeholder satisfaction survey responses will increase annually to insure that NCVPS learning environments will be inviting, respectful, supporting, inclusive and flexible with positive, nurturing relationships with caring adults to promote responsible choices among NCVPS students.

Threat

Manual processes for reporting

DLA turnover remains an issue

DLAs improperly prepared by local administrators

get issues may hamper travel plans for face to face training

Opportunities

Cross functional training with other departments

Using our pilots and best practices to continue to reach out to administration

Virtual office hours to provide just-in-time feedback for DLAs

Continue to get DLAs using DLA SPA as an eLC

Weaknesses

Still have some participation gaps with some districts

Still need some processes clarified through cross functional planning

Legacy systematic methodology includes extensive manual generated data results.

DLA SPA needs to be revised as many links have become outdated and information changed

Strengths

Increase in communication between NCVPS and DLAs

Virtual office hours now in place for better service to DLAs

Staff having significant devotion and passion for success, serving at unlimited personal cost, keeping balance with “family first”, an NCVPS priority.

New 4 regional approach allows better support

The spring satisfaction survey responses indicate an 8-80% increase in progress/success.
