Online Instructor Training
For about 20 years now HVCC has had a Quality Assurance protocol that required online faculty to be trained in best practices. Additionally, the faculty contract requires it. And SUNY research has documented that it takes about 150 hours to build a course. Because HVCC is committed to Faculty academic freedom, we train faculty using a minimalist template and spread the training out over a full semester to allow faculty to experiment, build multimedia, and otherwise design a robust course with the help of instructional designers. This is called the PEOCDD or Pedagogy of Effective Course Design and Delivery.
Pedagogy of Online Course Development and Delivery (PEOCDD)
The online instructor training workshop for faculty who will be teaching a fully asynchronous (no set meeting time) online course or a hybrid course in Spring or Summer 2021. Faculty meet for 2 hours each week for 7 weeks to learn tools and strategies, and in between class sessions they build out their course. At the end of the workshop, the course is complete and it is reviewed with the OSCQR rubric for best practices. It is then sent to Department Chairs for review and approval. This is excellent training for media-rich courses, for complex course builds, course revisions, and building more sophisticated courses, as well as just an excellent way to really learn the tools and structures.
