Teaching @ Towson: Preparing Your Course for Online Delivery – June 9 through June 24
This 16 day online workshop will assist faculty to transition an existing face-to face course into a robust, accessible online instructional offering. This workshop is completely online. It is both asynchronous and facilitated; you will have flexibility to complete workshop activities at any time or location you like, as long as you complete activities by each date and time indicated on the workshop calendar. You will not be required to be at your computer at any specific times.
Expect to spend an average of 6-8 hours on the workshop each week.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
? Prepare an effective module of online instruction in Blackboard
? Develop a course plan and gather materials for a quality course as defined by the Quality Matters Standards
? Locate instruction design, library, and technical resources for assistance through the design process
? Evaluate technologies for potential use in online/hybrid courses
