Mohawk Followup 2011 - Ontario College Quality Assurance Service
18-MONTH FOLLOW-UP REPORT TO THE PROGRAM QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCESS AUDIT FINAL REPORT Submitted to: Ontario College Quality Assurance Service Submitted by: Mohawk College Date: December 21, 2010 INTRODUCTION Mohawk College expresses appreciation to the Ontario College Quality Assurance Service (OCQAS) for the opportunity to take part in the Program Quality Assurance Process Audit in March, 2009. The audit served as a catalyst to allow us to refine and meet our goals for quality improvement. As a result of the comprehensive preparation strategies completed by Mohawk College, the on-campus audit itself, and the Final Report, our awareness of and commitment to program quality has been greatly heightened. Quality processes are taking an ever-increasing place of importance as we build upon the quality framework articulated in our self-study. REPORT ON AUDIT COMMENDATIONS Mohawk College is proud to report that the commendations cited below, which the Audit Team identified as a demonstration of exemplary practice and leadership in the field of quality assurance and improvement, continue to play a prominent role in our quality efforts. “Centre for Teaching, Learning and Research: A resource serving staff on a collegewide basis including Curriculum Development (Program and Curriculum Renewal, Program Mapping, etc.), Faculty/Teaching and Learning Professional Development (group and individual activities), E-Learning, Staff Professional Development and Applied and Institutional Research. “ Post-Audit Action: Staff in the Centre for Teaching and Learning, which includes the above-mentioned areas as well as Library and Quality services, continues to focus their efforts on developing and implementing programs and services aligned with the College’s three strategic priorities of Quality, Innovation and Sustainability. A recent full-day retreat identified several opportunities which will be explored, evaluated and developed appropriately in the 2011 to build further capacity to serve faculty and students in a quality fashion. “Learning Excellence Project: This project focused on the development of a program map and the on-line course outline repository (CORE) for all postsecondary programs balancing standards, accreditation, outcomes, key performance indicators feedback, program hours and financial resources; the development of curriculum expertise to support course and program quality was also the focus of this project.” Post-Audit Action: We are currently pursuing upgrades to the system to ensure its sustainability. Mohawk College – 18-Month PQAPA Report Page 1 “Mohawk College Program Review Process Chart: A multi-coloured chart that summarizes the four stages of Program Review at Mohawk including Curriculum Development, Environmental Scan, Program Assessment, Report Summary; team members felt the chart represented an excellent visual aid for a complex process that could, otherwise, be overwhelming to staff members.” Post-Audit Action: Our Program Review Team continues to use the process depicted in the chart to facilitate program improvements. “Curriculum Development Team: The College has put together an impressive New Program Development process that combines the skills of subject and curriculum design experts; a detailed guide outlines an eight-step process that begins with the development of “Program Concept Reports” and ends with “Finalize Marketing Strategy and Program Launch”. Mohawk reviews the New Program Development process on a regular basis for continuous improvement.” Post-Audit Action: We have added a “Statement of Interest” phase to the beginning of the process, and developed and implemented workshops to support Associate Deans and faculty members in the preparation of new programs. “Mohawk-McMaster Collaborative Programs: As indicated in Part I, Section, B, Mohawk developed its Mohawk-McMaster Institute for Applied Health Sciences as a center for a number of certificate, diploma, graduate certificate and collaborative degree programs. Two of these programs, Medical Radiation Sciences and Nursing, are offered as joint diploma/degree and degree programs respectively, through a collaborative arrangement between the College and McMaster University. There was every indication from both Mohawk and McMaster staff that the collaborative processes are working extremely well from all perspectives – program, staffing, facilities and administration.” Post-Audit Action: The Medical Radiation Sciences Collaborative programs consistently score above the provincial and Mohawk averages in most KPI indicators, including Student Satisfaction, Graduate Satisfaction, Graduation Rate, and Employer Satisfaction. Although these programs don’t qualify for the Provincial KPI surveys, they are completed with the same external Consultants that MTCU uses at Mohawk’s cost as a requirement for accreditation. In addition, in 2009-10 the Medical Radiation Sciences programs ranked in the top 10 programs for Mohawk’s Program Performance Indicators Report. The Collaborative Nursing programs consistently score above the provincial and Mohawk averages for the Student Satisfaction KPI Survey. Although these programs qualify for the Student KPI Survey do to an agreement between the colleges and MTCU, they do not for the Graduate and Employer Satisfaction KPI Surveys and are currently not surveyed at Mohawk. As a result, the Collaborative Mohawk College – 18-Month PQAPA Report Page 2 Nursing programs do not receive a complete Mohawk Program Performance Indicators Report since they are missing two of the five indicators, but for those indicators that they have results they do well. “Gap Analysis and Work Plan: A key outcome of the PQAPA process at Mohawk was the preparation of a “Gap Report” outlining 15 areas requiring further work, identified either as requiring “Quick Fixes” or a “Work Plan” for resolution. The College is to be commended for being clear and open in identifying the gaps and, further, commended for developing Work Plans to address each of the identified issues. Work Plans included a description of the issue, a proposed series of steps to address them, assigned responsibility and provided a timeframe for resolution of the issue. Timeframes appeared to be reasonable and realistic in most cases (exception noted in Recommendation #3).” Further Action: Please refer to our comments in the following section, “Affirmations”. REPORT ON AUDIT AFFIRMATIONS As noted above, Mohawk identified 15 areas, arising out of the PQAPA process, which require further work. We are pleased to report that we have addressed several gaps in their entirety and are now in a straightforward quality maintenance phase for these areas. With other gaps, we are either well underway or, at a minimum, in the early stages in the development and implementation of realistic solutions intended to close the gaps consistent with PQAPA criteria and to ensure future processes are in place to prevent recurrence of the gaps. In all cases, action plans are being developed and assigned for accountability purposes to appropriate staff via Annual Performance Plans. The areas identified include: Preparing a schedule to ensure that all Ontario Credential (OC) programs have gone through a comprehensive program review process, which includes program mapping. Ensuring that all course descriptions are available on the Web. Updating some Corporate Policies and Procedures that are outdated. Establishing a committee to deal with exceptions to standard requirements of the new Program Promotion and Graduation Requirements Policy. Establishing a formal annual review process informed by Program Reviews, KPI Reports and other operational planning inputs. Ensuring that the Program Maps are updated to ensure currency. Establishing a consistent process for dealing with PLAR issues. Ensuring that all program Handbooks are prepared on a consistent basis and are available to all students. Mohawk College – 18-Month PQAPA Report Page 3 Ensuring that complete listings of Program Learning Outcomes are readily available to all students and applicants. Ensuring consistency in the development of Learning Plans (prepared for guidance of students). Ensuring that all OC programs are compliant in meeting General Education requirements. Develop a consistent and college-wide framework to provide students with consistent and early feedback leading to course evaluation. Full implementation of the “Academic Staff Performance Feedback Program”. Establish a plan and process to assure assessment methods are appropriate and linked to course outcomes. Establish quality processes for OC programs run exclusively through Continuing Education. REPORT ON AUDIT RECOMMENDATIONS The Audit Team identified several areas that will assist in improving program quality at the College. A short description and rationale for each of these items follows. Recommendation #1: “Students expressed concern about the lack of “quiet space” in the College, particularly within the Learning Resource Centre. Students felt they needed the space to pursue their own, individual studies as well as small group work which is integral to many of their programs. Audit Team Members concurred that the provision of quiet study spaces within the College is consistent with PQAPA criteria and understands and supports the need for students to do some of their “homework” on college premises.” Action Taken: Mohawk is thrilled with the construction of new facilities and improvements to our existing facilities at Fennell Campus. The focus throughout all construction and renovation was to create a student friendly environment which will contribute to students’ academic success and overall college experience. Please refer to the following article, published in The Hamilton Spectator, November 18, 2010, which attests to our accomplishments in this area. http://www.thespec.com/news/local/article/277075--mohawk-construction-turns-thecollege-around With specific reference to increased study space, as cited in the recommendation, Mohawk has developed a tracking report to document on-going improvements to student study space. Of particular note is the increase in quiet spaces from 29 in June 2010 to 65 by November 2010; greater growth has occurred in the amount of group study space available – from 226 to 312 in the Fennell Library and Collaboratory, and 0 to 178 in the C-wing Hub. There is a total increase of 288 study spaces for students in Mohawk College – 18-Month PQAPA Report Page 4 the last 5 months. Please see Appendix A for our 2010 report. Progress will be monitored on an annual basis. Recommendation #2: “Students expressed concern about overcrowding in the open access computer laboratories and their inability to gain access to a computer within a reasonable waiting period. They observed that some students misused their computer time by accessing programs outside of the scope of their studies, e.g. Facebook. Students also noted that there is no organized “wait line” for computer resources resulting in some students waiting much longer than others. Audit Team Members concurred that the requirement to have reasonable access computer resources is consistent with PQAPA criteria. It was suggested, at the very least, that a process be put in place to monitor computer use and to establish an organized wait line process.” Action Taken: As in Recommendation #1, our new and renovated facilities at Fennell Campus have increased student access to computing, with a focus on increasing our wireless capabilities. We have developed a tracking report on computer space at all campuses and will monitor student satisfaction over the coming year to determine if further actions are required. Please see Appendix B for our 2010 report. Recommendation #3: “The Gap Report identifies that not all of Mohawk’s Ontario Credential programs are compliant in meeting General Education requirements. The associated Gap Report and Work Plan indicates a time frame of 2013/14 for implementation and also expresses reservations that budget constraints may further constrain implementation. It is the opinion of the Audit Team that the Framework for Programs of Instruction and the Credentials Framework require colleges to ensure adherence to General Education requirements without exception. The Audit Team suggests that the College pursue a more aggressive implementation schedule and also suggests that budget constraints should not be used to delay such implementation.” Action Taken: The Mohawk Executive Group (MEG) has mandated that our corporate policy on General Education (AC530) be reviewed and revised to ensure clarity of definitions of General Education courses and hours/credit requirements. The policy will also ensure clarity on the mandate and authority of the General Education Committee. Additionally, MEG has authorized that a new internal General Education audit be done to baseline changes to General Education courses since the PQAPA audit. This work is underway and expected to be completed by end-December, 2010. Future work, beginning in January 2011, will involve the application of the revised policy AC530, General Education, to all courses currently identified as General Education to ensure compliance. Recommendation #4: “One of the programs interviewed by the Audit Team indicated that they did not have a dedicated Program Advisory Committee but, rather, a schoolwide Advisory Committee advising on a number of programs. It is the opinion of the Mohawk College – 18-Month PQAPA Report Page 5 Audit Team that input from the professionals that hire College graduates is essential to maintain currency and relevancy in programs and that this advice can only be provided by an Advisory Committee that is focused on a particular set of skills, i.e. a program. The College is encouraged to review its Advisory Committee structure to ensure that each program has an Advisory Committee with membership related to its area of expertise.” Action Taken: We have developed a reporting mechanism to track the status of all Program Advisory Committees (PACs) to ensure compliance with MTCU’s Framework for Programs of Instruction regarding Program Advisory Committees: “The board of governors is to ensure that an advisory committee for each program of instruction or cluster of related programs offered at the college is established and is made up of a cross-section of persons external to the college who have a direct interest in and a diversity of experience and expertise related to the particular occupational area addressed by the program. The board of governors is to establish in by-law the structure, terms of reference, and procedures for program advisory committees.” Please refer to Appendix C for our 2010 report. Mohawk’s Vice President Academic will ensure annual monitoring of the status of our PACs to ensure compliance with MTCU policy. CONCLUSION The quality journey continues at Mohawk College and we remain committed to a comprehensive quality assurance and improvement process. As recently as November 30, 2010, Mohawk’s President announced that a new President’s Advisory Council will convene in January, 2011, to provide Mohawk’s Executive Group with valued advice and guidance on issues that matter to students and staff. The 36-member council will play a key role in strengthening strategic decision-making at Mohawk and driving continuous improvement across our College. Students are the central focus for our ongoing quality initiatives, as articulated in our umbrella Vision statement: “Students and learning are at the heart of all we do”. Achievements are many and activity is intense, with significant effort dedicated to sustainability of quality initiatives. With constant attention to our quality agenda, Mohawk College intends to advance its well-deserved reputation for quality and excellence.
