Tarrant County College Embraces CampusCruiser

In 2001, Tarrant County College conducted a review of its course management practices and campus communications, and concluded that CampusCruiser from Timecruiser Computing Corporation® was the best solution for their multiple-campus college. “The ease of use, managed student email accounts, centralized location for online resources and its integration with Datatel’s Colleague system made Campus Cruiser stand out from the pack,” said Wanda Shelton, Applications Consultant, with TCC’s information systems department.

Flexible Features

Developed in collaboration with course design specialists, CourseCruiser addresses the specific challenges faculty encounter when designing and managing their classes in an online environment.

CourseCruiser provides instructors tools for creating engaging, interactive learning environments. The flexibility of the system allows colleges to integrate many independent learning technologies in one centralized location. Essentially, CourseCruiser is a one-stop location for teaching and learning at distance.

Faculty Workstation (FWS)
CourseCruiser’s Faculty Workstation (FWS), patent pending, helps faculty to effectively and efficiently manage and deliver learning content and resources to students. Instructors can access information pertinent to all their classes from a single entry point, making it possible to perform a single task for multiple courses, which saves crucial time in course administration.

Course Designer
Course Designer enables faculty to guide their students through the course by organizing learning materials in accordance with a progressive learning path.  Faculty can easily import existing content. Courses can be integrated with assignments, set up for feedback, and content can be released to students based on calendar, sequence of weeks within a semester, or by test benchmarks.

Student Tracking
Student Tracking tracks all usage of course content and materials to measure student movement through course material. Graphical drill-down functionality provides deeper detail for a richer understanding of student progress.

Attendance Sheets
Attendance Sheets are quickly generated from the student information system for click-and-pick tracking by faculty.

Assessments Editor
Assessments Editor provides an online integrated quiz and test tool which can link to instructional material, if desired.  Assessments can also be graded in conjunction with the existing Gradebook, facilitating easy administration.

 

Academic Tools
CourseCruiser comes with an integrated Gradebook, Assignments Manager, Course-level Forums & Chat, Shared Files, and an Online Journal, so faculty can easily facilitate collaboration among students and project teams.

  • Improved IT Productivity - Your IT department can remain focused on critical productivity issues, while the Timecruiser technical staff provides all the hosting support your organization will require.   

Course Management Systems from Timecruiser.

“Learning Management Systems have reached an evolutionary point whereby features and functions can no longer suffice as the yardstick by which such systems are measured. The CourseCruiser system is designed to shift the focus from tools to instructional processes and from the management of one to the management of many.  By simplifying and streamlining workflow, instructors spend less time with non-instructional tasks and are able to concentrate on education which in the end is what truly matters.”

John Morris, Director of Academic Technology Innovation at Drexel University Timecruiser Academic Advisor 
“One feature that really helps us is the gradebook feature in the grading of portfolio materials. At UC, all freshmen collect artifacts over a few semesters and are graded by multiple faculty members. Using the gradebook feature, we no longer 'lose' grades for students over time as we did when we collected these items by paper means.”

“By using the Faculty Workstation, I am able to keep better student records and save a lot of time in preparing separate absence sheets for every class. This feature certainly provides more efficient instructor time management. Thank you.”
