Description:

Learning Outcomes Addressed in the Workshop - participants will:

• Address design/framing factors to be considered for effective course design in an asynchronous learning environment.
• Explore pedagogical models that promote student centered teaching and active learning.
• Identify the conceptual and practical steps involved in putting a course online.
• Identify course learning outcomes, and select instructional techniques and evaluation methods that support those learning outcomes.
• Learn how to incorporate meta-cognitive outcomes such as critical thinking and information literacy into a course.
• Review and develop rubrics to assess learning outcomes
• Receive a Quality Checklist for online course design
• Address issues of reflective practice

The workshop will be segmented into three parts. At first, key concepts and design aids will be explained and examples will be provided. Second, small groups will then work through a small sample conversion to reinforce the key concepts and become familiar with the design aids and rubrics. Groups will be able to compare/contrast their results with others groups for additional understanding of the concepts and practices. Finally, individuals will be provided the opportunity to develop a course of their choosing and receive feedback from other workshop participants and the presenters.
