[Okfdc] Online Instructor Course

[James "Jym" Brittain]

The Center for Teaching and Learning at Northeastern State is pleased to
offer the Fall 2007 session of the Online Instructor course. This semester
we are going to open enrollment to include faculty from Oklahoma
institutions of higher learning to participate in the completely online
course. Registration will be limited to 25 so please consider acting as
quickly as possible. The course will begin October 3rd and will last 7
weeks.

 

This course is designed to prepare faculty to develop and teach effective
and engaging interactive online courses. It provides a foundation of
distance education theory and application through hands-on experience of
being an online student. Completion of this course will provide participants
a menu of online teaching tools and techniques, as well as a course
blueprint from which a complete course can continue to be built after the
course is over. A primary result of the course will be development of the
online learning framework specific to your current teaching purpose with an
enhanced syllabus with assignments and interactions.

The framework will be developed within the online environment and will
include identification of engaging and effective activities, interactions,
and resources to meet the course goal(s), learning outcomes, and assessment
strategies specified for the targeted audience for each course.

 

Performance Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

*	Use an online course delivery software for asynchronous and
synchronous learning activities 
*	Design and support a learning community utilizing the best practices
of teaching and learning with technology 
*	Apply a sound instructional design process to the development of
your online course 
*	Construct an online course environment that balances instruction,
collaboration, and just-in-time learning methods 
*	Select media and technologies to maximize effectiveness of learning
activities 

Course Length
This course is divided into four seminars, with each seminar's assignments
being posted in an agenda that covers one week. Print out the agenda, it
will make it much easier to know exactly what needs to be done. Time
required to complete course assignments is a minimum of 5 to 7 hours per
week.

It is very important that you have at least the minimum amount of time to
devote to this course. This is a "student centered" model that requires your
contribution in participation, peer review, and feedback to achieve the
course objectives. Clear out enough time on your calendar for the next
several weeks, because - We learn from each other in this model-- it's not
just an "information download!"
