The Center for Distance and Online Learning will be conducting several workshops during the Spring 2021 semester. Please review the training opportunity details and registration information on our Training Schedule.
Online Instructor Training
Spring 2021: Pedagogy of Effective Course Development and Delivery (PEOCDD) — Registration Deadline: Feb. 5
The online instructor training workshop is for faculty who will teach either fully online asynchronous courses (no set meeting time) or hybrid classes (limited real-time meetings online or in-person) in Late Spring, Summer or Fall 2021. Faculty meet remotely for two hours each week for seven weeks to learn tools and strategies, and in between class sessions they build out their courses. At the end of the workshop, the course build is complete, and an OSCQR rubric is done to ensure best practices. The course is then sent to DC for review and approval.
Remote Instruction Training
Blackboard Basics — Registration Deadline: Feb. 5
The Blackboard Basics workshop prepares faculty to use Blackboard in their face-to-face (F2F) or remote online synchronous (set meeting time) courses for any Spring, Summer, or Fall term. Using Blackboard with your classes can range from providing students with easy access to course documents, grade book, or by integrating new approaches to teaching and learning by using online tests, online assignment submissions, or online discussions. Faculty meet remotely for one hour each week for seven weeks to learn tools and strategies, and in between class sessions, they build out their courses.
Grade Center Training
The Grade Center workshop prepares faculty to use the Blackboard Grade Center for grade record keeping as required by the Registrar’s office. Faculty can request to be enrolled in the Using the Blackboard Grade Center course where training videos, training session recordings and tutorials are available. Additionally, faculty can request one-to-one appointments for assistance. Please use the Request Training Form to access to the resources and set-up training appointments.
