Have you wanted to incorporate online teaching into your course? Are you interested in bringing your passion for teaching into the virtual world … but uncertain how to get there? Are you concerned about a long and painful learning curve? Or are you teaching online now, but the experience is less than what you expected? If so, you’ll be pleased to discover there’s a program developed especially for you. It’s called Online Courses: Step-by-Step, and it will help you make the transition online easier than you ever thought possible.
It’s focused, it’s practical, and it’s virtually painless.
You don’t need to be a technology whiz … you don’t need to be a programmer … you don’t need a sophisticated understanding of the online world. You simply need to be a committed educator interested in reaching students in this exciting new way.
Online Courses: Step-by-Step is a three-module program we’ve developed in partnership with program designer John Orlando, Instructional Resource Manager of Norwich University’s School of Graduate Studies and a ten-year veteran of online faculty training. The focus is on the three areas critical to your success in moving online:
• The pedagogy of online teaching.
• The “tools of the online trade.”
• How to get your course up and running.
You’ll complete one module per week for three weeks, developing a thorough understanding of virtually every aspect of the online teaching experience. Here’s just some of what will be covered:
• The history of the virtual classroom.
• Best practices for online teaching.
• Reconceptualizing your course.
• Guidelines for course development.
• Content delivery methods.
• Use of blogs, wikis and other social tools.
• Integrating video and other media.
• Managing class discussion.
• Creating and administering assignments and quizzes.
• Grading.
• Communication–peer-to-peer and teacher-to-student.
• And much more.
The program brings it all together into a manageable, easy-to-follow process. You’ll learn how to work in partnership with your institution’s tech support resources, your distance learning staff and your own departmental leadership to achieve the same level of excellence in the virtual classroom that you do in traditional classes.
