Thanks so much for attending the workshop and posting your Implementation Plan. I enjoyed reviewing your file. You were able to tweak some of our resources/artifacts and also incorporate your own! You did LOTS of higher order thinking and planning in a quick two day workshop. Congrats on all your hard work!

Hopefully you received some great…[Read more]

Thanks so much for attending the workshop and posting your Implementation Plan. I enjoyed reviewing your file. It is always nice to set aside time to focus on professional development. Hard to do that in the office when other needs are always coming up!

As I told Michael, you’re right around the corner, so please keep in touch and feel free to…[Read more]

Thanks so much for attending the workshop and posting your Implementation Plan. What a great idea completing the “scaled back” activity for yourself (and your course). Thirteen weeks is longer than our ten weeks but I can see why it is needed! So much to teach… so little time! 🙂 We even pulled out our LMS training from it and made it an online…[Read more]

Thanks so much for attending the workshop and posting your Implementation Plan. I also appreciate the feedback on the SWOT analysis activity and the workshop experience in general. So glad you were able to collaborate on the orientation class outline!

Your draft is incredible! You’ve thought out not only content but several of the logistical…[Read more]

Thanks so much for attending the workshop and posting your Implementation Plan. I enjoyed reviewing your file. Also, thanks for letting me know the page numbers for your specific feedback request! Very helpful. 🙂

Your PHSC Model Course Rubric is great! It is simple in format (some become beasts!), easy to follow, and comprehensive. I guess my…[Read more]

Hi Michael.

I love hearing that you are able to require your professional development offering. It makes such a difference in the impact and quality of online teaching and learning at an institution (from my experience).

Thanks for sharing your course outline! What a great layout of content and activities. I’d love to see what is created for…[Read more]

Thanks so much for attending the workshop and posting your Implementation Plan. I enjoyed reviewing your file. Sounds like you’re on your way to increasing your professional development offerings.

We just finished piloting and are now delivering an advanced professional development course for our faculty. Here’s a link to a short…[Read more]

Hello.

Thanks so much for attending the workshop and posting your Implementation Plan. I enjoyed reviewing your file. You have a 5 week course with 25 hours delivery time reserved. I’d love to see how that ends up being mapped out. I know that is one of the areas you requested some feedback on in the post. I’d like to see what your final outline…[Read more]

Alexandra,

Thanks so much for attending the workshop and posting your Implementation Plan. I enjoyed reviewing your file. You’ve have some great short term goals to keep you busy!

Your course outline looks well thought out and comprehensive. UF Standards and Markers of Excellence will be useful to set expectations and keep your desired outcomes…[Read more]

Krista,
I’m so glad you enjoyed the workshop. It was such a great opportunity to share and connect with our colleagues throughout Florida!

When I started to read your first takeaway I was going to encourage you to connect with Allison, but then I realized you’re both from UNF. It’s good to know you’re both on the same page! Lol!

Allison,
We certainly share some of the same concerns regarding participation in an online community and sustained engagement. One thing you listed that I think we could do a better job of on this site is “explaining the theory and research supporting learning communities.” Please let me know if you come across some resources that we might be able…[Read more]

Wow, this is a short post full of BIG plans!

First let me thank you for your Phase 1 goals that involve sharing TOPkit with some many groups on your campus. I hope they find it equally useful, and encourage them all to participate in the community. Even though we’re neighbors, it can be challenging to get out of the office and see each other…[Read more]

Hi Geni,

I, too, find the Quality Matters (QM) rubric to be very comprehensive. (In full disclosure, I am a QM Face-To-Face Facilitator.) The rubric is based on a comprehensive literature review, and the annotations provide excellent rationale and examples for meeting the standards outlined in the rubric. The QM process is equally impressive.…[Read more]

Hi Jennifer,

The Quick Guides you provided model exemplary practices in online communication and interaction, instructional methods, course accessibility, course content, and technology guides. Faculty can follow the methodology and examples provided to ensure quality standards are met. Thanks for providing the link to these “job aids” for faculty.

Hi Otis,

Using social media is a great way for faculty to engage students, as it is undoubtedly part of our culture. Students increasingly socialize and network through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, SnapChat, Pinterest, Tumblr, Google+, and other social media platforms on a consistent basis. Why not meet students where they are–right?!?
