Are you interested in teaching online this summer?
Did you know that Teaching and Learning Technologies (TLT) facilitates a training program for faculty teaching online? The program provides resources and training to faculty while they modify their face-to-face course for the online environment.
Focus
The focus is on acquiring skills critical to online teaching through application activities, pedagogical exploration, and technology mastery.
Training Topics
Topics covered include: syllabus construction, writing effective quiz questions, best practices, assessment, integrating web and library resources, time management, communication, group activities, using multimedia, and rubrics.
Online Course Design Working Groups
The Online Course Development Working Groups (OCDWGs) are casual conversations over lunch sharing course progress.
Support
Online faculty are supported by instructional technologists, multimedia developers, videographers, and e-learning specialists as they modify their course for the virtual environment. This supportive team creates video and multimedia tools for course engagement and trains faculty in technologies for course integration, i.e., screencasting, blogs, and PowerPoint.
TLT is ready and willing to answer questions about the Summer Online program. If you’re interested in teaching online, please contact Cheri Crabb for more information.
