Webinar Description
View authors, Zala Fashant, Linda Russell, and Karen LaPlant for this informative, future look at the Cycle of Course Design as a process for designing future dual-delivery courses to better respond to academic and environmental challenges.This design process has helped 500+ faculty during the pandemic who have participated in the Online Course Design Institute and several international conference workshops as they used the content from their book Designing Effective Teaching and Significant Learning (Stylus, 2020) as a text for step-by-step redesign.
COURSE DESIGN INSTITUTE: GREAT FACULTY, GREAT COURSES –SUMMARY
Design one course for multiple deliveries! Facilitators have been working with faculty and instructional designers nationally to redesign courses for dual delivery in the Online Course Design Institute. Each faculty member chose one course to redesign by:
- aligning the learning outcomes, assessments and activities;
- creating a communication plan for online and face-to-face communication
- ensuring course material accessibility;
- integrating learning technologies;
- assessing course quality; and
- planning for the measurement of program and institutional assessments;
This highly-rated, three week workshop is design to develop courses that produce effective teaching practices and significant learning experiences. Since the beginning of the pandemic, facilitators have worked with over 500 faculty and instructional designers through the online course and a variety of online teaching and learning conferences. Your institution can benefit as well. Learn more.
“The instructors are incredible. The knowledge they possess and their ability to communicate the information to us in a meaningful way with clear precise steps for applying the course materials is modeling the significant learning I want in my own courses. The book is a wonderful and has dynamic information in it.”
“Thank you for the course. It was really nice to see a quality online course that I can try to duplicate. The information and quality of the delivery was really impressive and I hope others will take your course to get the benefits I have received by taking it.”
