Working Together
Faculty members work together to design and develop online and hybrid courses. Online Teaching InstituteIf you are planning to deliver course in an online or hybrid format consider joining an upcoming online/hybrid course development workshop cohort. The cohort meets partly face-to-face and partly online. The workshop provides faculty members the opportunity to examine learning theory and approaches to teaching in online and hybrid learning environments. A portion of the workshop will be devoted to developing learning activities with appropriate technology tools to help students meet intended learning outcomes. By the end the eight-week workshop, faculty members will have developed a peer reviewed online or hybrid course. View the Schedule for the next Online Teaching Institute for Summer 2010

Are You Considering Teaching in a Online or Hybrid Environment?Designing learning for a hybrid or online environment allows us to explore the unique relationship between technology, pedagogy, and your content. You may have your own perception of what these environments looks like, what students expect, what challenges that exist, and potential rewards. As a subject matter expert you already have a deep understanding of your content area and the concepts from your field that are important for students to understand . Likewise, you are familiar with specific pedagogical strategies that lead to student learning in your particular discipline. Although there are specific technology skills needed to survive online, please know that acquiring new technology knowledge is an evolving process especially as technology expands. Deciding how technology can assist student learning requires special consideration. Sometimes we adopt technology without aligning its use with our educational objectives Reviewing the Design of Your Online CourseThe University of California, Chico developed a Rubric for Online Instruction which is available free under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States License. Used as a development tool, this rubric provides suggestions for designing a course for an online or hybrid environment and encourages continual development and improvement on a scale ranging from baseline to effective to exemplary.
