Notes for Course Facilitator
Summary:
This page provides participants with the opportunity to hear from other faculty who have developed online courses and/or have taught online.
Suggestions:
Gentle reminder: Update all content highlighted in yellow to reflect your institution.
We have often found that faculty prefer to hear from other faculty with online teaching experience rather than listen to the instructional designers discuss online strategies and pedagogy. We have heard "I want someone talking with me and not at me." A harsh statement but some times true.
A nice way to do this is to bring in experts from the field. This also puts participants in contact with experienced faculty that they can then call on for future advice.
This section should be reserved to host messages/videos/sample courses/best practices from your faculty having taught online in either a blended or completely online course. If it is possible/applicable, get a blended instructor and web-based instructor to participate. It is suggested that you use a video but a facilitated discussion board or content page could also be used.
