Innovative Teaching and Learning Week set for April 8-10
Innovative Teaching and Learning Week brings together instructors from across campus to share emerging approaches, p
On July 28, 2014, the Office of Distance Learning recognized 19 faculty who had completed Course Design Practicum (CDP). At the final CDP event, participants shared the parts of their course designs for which they were most proud, and received certificates of completion.
Course Design Practicum is a 10-week design-build experience during which faculty design online or hybrid courses based on the Quality Matters standards. When placed in the role of students, these faculty gathered valuable experience about the online environment. CDP participants examine the development process for creating an electronic course using QM standards, create an electronic course model that can be updated continuously and imported into future sections of courses with enrolled students, and review a course, compose helpful recommendations, and provide meaningful feedback. To earn a certificate of completion, participants must participate in the peer-review, the final capstone experience of CDP.
