Many of the hands-on activities can be completed at home. For example, reading a tire sidewall, changing a spare tire, checking fluids, interior/exterior car care, part identification, etc. Internet activities include locating an online safety data sheet, calculating automotive expenses, using an online service manual, etc. https://www.autoupkeep.com/supporting-students-and-teachers-through-covid-19/
From Richard Radclliffe to Everyone: 11:28 AM
Remind is another great way to communicate with students.
Remind is good because it keeps a record of all conversations…if there’s ever a question about appropriate contact with students, it helps (probably more important for high school instructors but still valuable).
From Martin Kamimoto to Everyone: 11:30 AM
FRESNO CITY COLLEGE will be using Today’s Class from Melior, Inc. (David Boyce: dboyes@todaysclass.com) https://www.todaysclass.com and https://www.todaysclass.com/
FRESNO CITY COLLEGE will be utilizing reduced class Caps and using Social Distancing for F2F Lab! We will also be establishing Stations in the Lab very much like the OEM (GM, FCA, Ford, Toyota, Subaru, etc.) Regional Training Centers designed to provide ASE Education Foundation (formerly NATEF) competencies.
ATL Webinar #3: Best Practices for Teaching Heavy Duty Vehicles During Campus Closures
On May 22, ATL hosted a special Heavy Duty Vehicles Webinar which focused on best practices for delivering heavy-duty vehicle training during this time of campus closures. Our faculty panel from across the state discussed the transition to online teaching and options for dealing with lab-based instruction.
Questions addressed were:
- What resources are being used to help with the transition to remote instruction?
- How are campuses delivering lab-based instruction?
- What is still needed to deliver high-quality learning experiences for students?

This is Cummins training. I have attended training for Cummins and these are great Web Based Training resources
From Daniel Willkie to Everyone: 11:16 AM
Do you teach synchronous or Asynchronous course
From Jesse Kosten – SRJC Diesel Equipment Technology to Everyone: 11:18 AM
Google voice is great. I have used it for years and have my office number forwarded to it.

You can forward multiple numbers to google voice
From Daniel Willkie to Everyone: 11:20 AM
Most of our students are tactile learners
From Daniel Willkie to Everyone: 11:25 AM
CDX doesn’t integrate easily to CANVAS
From Sergio Hernandez to Everyone: 11:25 AM
BMP and PNG are the best for images on Canvas.
From JOam Bergstrom Smith to Everyone: 11:26 AM
how do you substitute or accommodate for the actual hands on?
From Dave Brown to Everyone: 11:26 AM
I love the Discussion function on Canvas. I require students to review and comment on others’ responses, as well.
From Jesse Kosten – SRJC Diesel Equipment Technology to Everyone: 11:26 AM
Hopefully for Fall CDX HD will be updated. The Auto side works well with Canvas.
From Daniel Willkie to Everyone: 11:28 AM
It was supposed to be done by now
Our biggest problem the auto service industry is gigantic compared to the commercial diesel industry
From Mark DeHart to Everyone: 11:29 AM
@JOam Bergstrom Smith it is very hard to substitute for hands-on but I have, at times, had my students take videos with their phones and upload them to Canvas
From Daniel Willkie to Everyone: 11:31 AM
Jon, would you please send the slides to the group for reference, ill share them with my adjunct faculty
From Mark DeHart to Everyone: 11:34 AM
@Dave Brown, I too love the discussion function on Canvas. You can set it to where students have to comment before they can comment on other students posts
From Sergio Hernandez to Everyone: 11:34 AM
How do you handle it when students have difficulties with the ISP, are not tech aware or the computer/ iPad has issues that we as instructors can’t help them?
From Dave Brown to Everyone: 11:36 AM
@Mark DeHart, Exactly! One of the best little features. The upside of this crisis is I will continue to use a lot of these features even after a return to whatever the new normal will be.
From Mark DeHart to Everyone: 11:36 AM
@Sergio, Hartnell has IT that holds “Office hours” for these students. This doesn’t help for the “right not situation” but it helps for the upcoming weekly meetings.
From John Taylor to Everyone: 11:39 AM
As for using tools and working on various vehicle systems, our students always wear gloves during their labs. So why do we need to worry about the shared tools and disinfecting the tools and parts? If they break a glove, get a new one and clean whatever they touched. We can’t or shouldn’t use chlorine for a disinfectant with our steel parts. Amonium is an approved CDC disinfectant.

Great Job Mr. DeHart and Mr. Rubio!
From Mark DeHart to Everyone: 11:40 AM
my email is mdehart@hartnell.edu for everyone
From Katie Mishler to Everyone: 11:42 AM
@John gloves can be tricky, because as they touch various things through the shop/class they are cross-contaminating everything they touch. IF they touch their stuff or their face, gloves are really useless, unless they change them constantly and are aware of what they touch
From Daniel Willkie to Everyone: 11:42 AM
That’s assuming they have base line skills before class starts
From Mariano Rubio to Everyone: 11:43 AM

From Gene Choe to Everyone: 11:45 AM
Has anyone found a good online program for demonstrating Voltage drop? I used to have a Caterpillar program on Laserdisc, but the player is broken. It had a circuit, and showed a virtual DMM and the students had to set the DMM and choose where to place the probes.

Electude has a set on lead placement for testing with meters, played with it a few years ago. It was “K”

Excellent wiring diagram simulator with available voltage and voltage drop exercises and bugs.
https://www.itp-training.com/
From Gene Choe to Everyone: 11:49 AM
Great, thank you.
Dave Brown to Everyone: 11:49 AM
It only has a couple circuits, but multiple bugs for each one.
From Mariano Rubio to Everyone: 11:54 AM
Good point Dan. We have to think of access to technology.
From Mark DeHart to Everyone: 11:55 AM
Hartnell College opened the parking garage for students to park and use the WIFI. This has seem to help
From priscilla englert to Everyone: 11:58 AM
@genechoe voltage drop can be done on circuit simulators too. Check out https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/category/physics

You would have to use the FSIMS 8900 guidance for approval of online in a standard program. That computer access specified can only be overcome by issuing student computer hardware and having a dedicated network.
From Rob Newman to Everyone: 01:47 PM
Is this session purely focused on aviation maintenance programs? Will there be any portion devoted to pilot training programs?
From Don Woods to Everyone: 01:48 PM
Part 91 pilot training. Any suggestions?

Good protocol. Can we make those kinds of terms as syllabus conditions?
From Robert Pettyjohn to Everyone: 01:59 PM
Probably HIPPA considerations as well
From Melissa McPeters to Everyone: 02:03 PM
Maybe a school nurse or RN student nearing graduation can take the temperatures each morning.
From Jack Little to Everyone: 02:04 PM
Chaffey faculty have proposed the same concept for the fall semester. We have a large lab environment that would promote social distancing, therefore holding lectures in the lab, temperature monitoring, regular cleaning/disinfecting throughout the day, etc.
From David Casillas to Everyone: 02:06 PM
Link to a story on an A&P school that opened up again with social distancing.

Question: Our FAA emergency TCO deviation specifically states that the deviation is not an authorization to start any new entrants into the program. Is that the same as what is coming from the FSDO’s?

Reports
Industry Building Momentum to Eliminate Aviation Maintenance Technician Gap, but Opportunities to Fill Pipeline Further Are Clear, Report Finds
By: Aviation Technician Education Council
Industry is making measurable progress developing a sufficient, sustainable pipeline of aviation maintenance technicians (AMTs), but clear opportunities remain that can increase momentum, led by filling available slots in technical schools, a new report on AMT career development finds.
The report was developed from data collected by Aviation Technician Education Council (ATEC) and includes findings from a broad survey of accredited aviation maintenance technician schools (AMTS). The data was compiled and analyzed before the novel coronavirus pandemic triggered a significant decline in commercial air transport. While the near- and medium- term implications of airline capacity cuts on maintenance demand remains unclear, demand projections made as of February suggest that industry must focus on continuing to fill the skilled-worker pipeline to meet the long-term need for technicians.

FAA Issues Revised Deviation Memo for Temporary Distance Learning Approval
