Detailed Information on Distance Learning and Blackboard:

Many of you have asked for more information as to what FCPS’ preparation for Distance Learning was and what happened with Blackboard. Here is more information from FCPS Leadership:

Timeline:

• On March 13, FCPS and the governor announced there would be an extended closure of schools. FCPS alerted Blackboard that they needed to be prepared to accommodate extensive distance learning for all of our 185,000 students.
• FCPS shared our detailed learning management protocols and schedules with Blackboard. We developed security guidelines and documents on how to set up secure Blackboard Ultra sessions, we utilized BlackBoard Collaborate to conduct LIVE virtual school board meetings, we trained our entire workforce of teachers in a week, and posted all distance learning materials into Blackboard.
• Blackboard has served as the learning management system vendor for FCPS for 20 years. They expressed confidence in their ability to provide service for our Distance Learning Plan.
• FCPS uses two Blackboard products: Blackboard Learn (FCPS 24/7) and Blackboard Collaborate:
• Blackboard Learn (FCPS 24/7) is FCPS’ learning management system, which serves as a curriculum repository that integrates with multiple systems, including eCart, Online Textbooks, and SIS
• Blackboard Collaborate is our virtual learning tool that has been used to support Online Campus for several years
• As the training and preparation for distance learning began, there were few issues with the Blackboard platform.
• As recently as this past weekend, numerous conversations took place between FCPS and the Blackboard executives and technical team about the anticipated volume of usage for Blackboard Learn (FCPS 24/7) and Blackboard Collaborate.
• Monday, April 13 FCPS began experiencing communication issues between the FCPS log-in system and Blackboard servers. Teams from FCPS and Blackboard worked to identify the issue and believed they had resolved the problem.
• Tuesday, April 14 – distance learning launched.  While the majority of distance learning experiences were positive, some security issues arose. Parents, students, and teachers reported having difficulty logging in to Blackboard Learn (FCPS 24/7).
• In addition, reports of disruptive online participants (who may or may not have been students) during Blackboard Collaborate Ultra sessions. The behaviors involved expressions of foul and inappropriate language that were upsetting to students and staff. The disruptive behavior suggested that increased security to the Blackboard Collaborate system was needed. 
• FCPS identified inconsistencies in how Blackboard Collaborate Ultra sessions (used for synchronous or teacher-led instruction) were created.
• FCPS central office leadership failed to ensure that sessions were created with proper security settings across our school system
• April 14 (evening) FCPS implemented a new feature in Blackboard Learn (FCPS 24-7) which links Blackboard Learn with Blackboard Collaborate, to make it easier for teachers to set up Collaborate Sessions for their classes with the proper security settings.  School-Based Technology Specialists (“SBTS”) were trained on the use of this new feature and they conducted turnaround training for the teachers in each of their schools.
• April 14 (evening) FCPS decided to announce a 2 hour delay for Wednesday, April 15 in order to enable FCPS IT staff and Blackboard to address the security issue by adding enhanced security features.
• Wednesday, April 15, Blackboard 24-7 learning system again experienced technical difficulties. A decision was made to cancel teacher-led distance learning for the remainder of the day.
• April 15 (evening) FCPS announced the decision to suspend synchronous learning for the rest of the week while Blackboard ensures the performance of its platforms across our 189,000 student system.
• The Blackboard Learn platform was last updated on June 12-19, 2018. FCPS migrated to a new release of the software at that time.
• Blackboard did not provide any indication that an upgrade was needed to accommodate the high usage load anticipated for the Distance Learning Plan prior to Wednesday, April 15, after the issues were encountered
• FCPS is working with Blackboard to conduct necessary updates and fixes
• FCPS remains hopeful that the upgrades will be successful, and the 24/7 system will be able to accommodate all of our users.
• Blackboard has issued an apology

Current Plans for Distance Learning

• Students continue to have access to learning materials available on the FCPS website, cable channels, and the mailed learning packets.
• Teacher-student contact is continuing. 
• Distance learning will resume Monday morning.
• If Blackboard is unable to provide a reliable operating system, your child’s teacher will still provide new instructional opportunities through a variety of tools including Google Classroom, pre-recorded videos, learning packets, eBooks, and other approved digital resources as well as directing students to Channels 21, 25 and 99 resources.
• If Blackboard 24/7 remains inoperable during the week, schools will also be preparing to provide “face to face” instruction through a secure Blackboard Collaborate link. 
• In the meantime, please ensure that your student has set Chrome as the default browser on the device they will be using for distance learning. Directions can be found on our website.

 

Moving Forward

The FCPS Contract with Blackboard, Inc. for Blackboard Learn ends in 2021. FCPS has plans to migrate to a new vendor/product Schoology in 2021.

A plan is in place to pilot the system to 15-20 schools in Fall of 2020, assess any issues, make the necessary adjustments, train the teachers, and launch Divisionwide in 2021.

Special Education Update

Many of you have asked for updates regarding services and supports for special education families.

• Here is a link to updated FAQs that may answer many of your questions and here is a link to full information about the plan.

These links include information about

• Temporary Learning Plans,
• IEP Meetings and Eligibility Meetings,
• Instructional packets,
• Who to contact, roles and responsibilities of staff during distance learning,
• Link to the complete FCPS distance learning plan to include special education resources.
• Related services providers

Below are excerpts from a letter from the FCPS Assistant Superintendent for Special Education, Teresa Johnson:

Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)

FCPS will be implementing for students with IEPs a Temporary Learning Plan (TLP) that will outline special education and related services during the school closure. Special education case managers, in collaboration with related services providers, will consult with, and gather input from parents about the TLP for each student which will outline the prioritized goals, accommodations and services that will be addressed during the school closure.  

The TLP is a letter that will identify the continuity of learning services that will be provided to students between now and the end of the school year. This week, FCPS provided training for school staff on how to draft and implement the TLP. While the expectation is that plans are completed by school staff by the end of April, there is recognition that flexibility in the timeline is needed due to individual family circumstances.

Distance Learning FAQs

FCPS Special Services is also in the process of developing a special education COVID 19 Frequently Asked Questions document for parents and school staff.  We have received a number of questions and hope that this information will be helpful for community members as we progress through this challenging time of unknowns.  Additional resources related to mental health for students and families are located on the Special Services webpage: https://www.fcps.edu/blog/talking-children-about-coronavirus. 

Our thanks to the leadership of the Special Education PTA for their collaboration and contribution of the video on How to Navigate the Accommodations Toolkit https://youtu.be/RlHKjSWIgr8. We will continue to update the special education webpage as more information becomes available.
