What do I need to do?

COURSE TYPES ONLINE LEARNING

WEB (GeorgiaVIEW) ENHANCEDGeorgiaVIEW enhanced courses offer faculty the opportunity to supplement face-to-face courses without reducing regularly scheduled seat time.

HYBRID COURSES – REDUCED SEAT TIMEHybrid courses use a mixture of face-to-face class time and web-based Instruction. Online instruction replaces some scheduled seat time.

ONLINE COURSES – NO SEAT TIMEOnline courses are delivered entirely online with no face–to–face course instruction.

PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT TIMELINEBefore a course can be developed for online offering, certain preliminaries should take place in the academic unit. This should happen BEFORE the course/faculty development process begins.

Identify program standards/objectives.

Identify learning outcome measures (assessments), and insure that they precisely measure the objectives.

Map objectives throughout program matrix to individual courses.

Insure that faculty know which specific objectives relate to their course and how they will assess the objectives.

Insure that prerequisite courses are properly sequenced and adequately prepare students for the next, higher course.

Insure that online courses are “equivalent” to the face-to-face versions.

Provide sufficient lead-time for faculty/course development; two semesters would be good, more would be ideal.

What constitutes good online teaching and learning?

Teaching online is more than just hanging content in an online course to have students read it. Instruction and learning are deliberate, and it requires planning constructive interactions between the instructor, the students, and the content.

• Communication of clear and explicit learning expectationsfor the course and for each unit of instruction

• Creating a sense of community for members of the class

• Being open and available to students

• Prompt feedback to students when appropriate

• Prompt feedback to students about their work

• Promoting critical thinking discussions among studentsabout the content

• Cooperative learning among students

• Opportunities for students to practice and get feedbackabout what they are learning

• Provide multiple modalities for learning (text, audio,practice quizzes, guided discussions, other)

• Provide multiple modalities for assessment (quizzes,discussions, assignments, projects, other)

• Consistency in course layout and navigation to promote auser-friendly learning environment

ADOPTING AND TEACHING ONLINE COURSES (ATOC)

“I will be teaching an existing online course. What do I need to do?”

If you plan to teach an existing online course, you need to address the pedagogical, logistical and technical training to succeed

ATOC is designed to model the delivery of existing online courses. This is a self paced, 2 week, fully online course. Upon completion of the online course, you will be assigned an Instructional Designer to assist with any additions or changes that may be necessary for the course.

For more information about ATOC visit: http://georgiasouthern.edu/onlinetraining/

To request participation in ATOC contact the Center for Online Learning at col@georgiasouthern.edu

w“I want to design, develop and deliver an online course. Where do I start?”

If your goal is to design, develop and deliver an original online course, DTOC is the training you’ll need.

DTOC combines and online course with face to face and online consultation to produce a pedagogically sound online course. This training is available 3 times per calendar year.

For more information about DTOC visit: http://georgiasouthern.edu/onlinetraining/

Participation in this training must be recommended by your Department Chair and Dean in order to receive a stipend.

DEVELOPING AND TEACHING ONLINE COURSE (DTOC)

We recommend visiting http://georgiasouthern.edu/onlinetraining/ to determine the pathway that best fits your needs.

GATHER INFORMATIONUsing the information mapped on the web page choose from Basic Training, ATOC or DTOC training to determine the best pathway for your needs.

PLAN AHEADDetermine your time–line based on the information provided. We recommend two semesters from initial training to course delivery for initial course development training (DTOC). Basic Training and ATOC require less time.

MOVE AHEADDiscuss goals with your department chair and gain approval and support.

If developing a new online or hybrid course, ask your Department Chair and/or your Dean about a development stipend.

DEVELOP AND DELIVEROnce you are recommended by your Dean for a development stipend, you will be contacted by the Center for Online Learning.

• Participate in the online training course.

• Attend small group face-to-face debriefing.

• Consult with your assigned Instructional Designer during the development phase.

• Attend GeorgiaVIEW training.
