Early-Bird Subscription: University & College Teaching online collaboration

A limited offer to POD members

Do you need help training your adjuncts and GTAs in how to design and deliver compelling courses to students? Would an online solution co-developed with POD members, help you significantly ramp up quality when budgets are tight, and your faculty developers find it hard to support the whole campus?

Epigeum, the higher ed e-publisher, is launching nine new online courses this summer covering all the basics needed by GTAs and adjunct faculty to deliver inspirational classes.
• The authors include many well known experts in faculty development including Marilla Svinicki (Texas-Austin), Nancy Chism (Indiana), Barbara Gross Davis (Berkeley), Mike Theall (Youngstown) and Graham Gibbs (Oxford University).
• The course development is being supported by an international collaboration of 16 universities including Indiana University, the University of South Florida, Western Kentucky, NYIT and Minnesota State Colleges and Universities.
• Each course is being built to an unusually high pedagogic standard with extensive video case studies and interactive simulations. Topics include designing a course program, lecturing, supervisions, marking and assessment, teaching around patients, and group work.
• The courses can be easily accessed online by your adjunct faculty and GTAs. They can support and enhance current workshops, or be used on a stand alone basis (with or without online tutors) for those who cannot attend face to face sessions.
In this unique offer, Epigeum is pleased to offer POD members a unique opportunity to access all nine new online courses on a campus wide basis at one third of the normal cost, with a further 5% discount if you cite your POD membership in placing the order. We are doing this by releasing a very limited number of 10 ‘Associate Membership’ spaces in the current collaboration supporting the development of the material.

See attachment brochure for full price details. This unique Associate Membership offer gives you a three year campus license for the cost of just one year, and the opportunity to participate in post course evaluation. The 10 places are expected to go very fast and the deadline for confirmation is the 28th Febraury 2011. Please contact us as soon as possible if you are interested in this offer.

For more information about these courses, or to see a sample, please contact wendy.harbottle@epigeum.com, or go to www.epigeum.com/component/programmes/?view=programme&programme=22
