Thanks Paige and Rebecca for your posts!

Paige, I think you made an important point about incentives: what do faculty at your institution find rewarding. The challenge, though, is that there can be a lot of variation on any campus regarding what faculty value: time, money, certification, access to support or services, etc.

Rebecca, thanks so…[Read more]

Hi Ryan, I am quite impressed with your thorough analysis, demonstrated in the SWOT; your input was both observant and reflective. Please feel free to keep us updated on how the SWOT analysis informs and supports your implementation plan. It looks like your plan currently aligns with your analysis, especially the sections where you noted threats…[Read more]

Ryan,
Thanks so much for attending the workshop and posting your Implementation Plan. I enjoyed reviewing your file, especially your SWOT analysis, and then seeing how it resulted in some concrete steps to implement in the next 30, 60, & 90 days. It looks like those next steps are focused on formative evaluation and continuous improvement. Please…[Read more]

Rebecca,
Thank you for attending the workshop. You have clearly given this plan a lot of thought. It sounds like you may have even come with some very specific goals in mind, which is ideal. Because your questions are so focused on evaluation, I have reached out to Patsy Moskal to see if she would be willing to give you some specific feedback. (Of…[Read more]

Thank you for your positive feedback Jennifer and for sharing your idea for promoting eTextbooks and OER. I think it’s a great idea! Let’s take this offline and discuss in more detail via phone.

Thanks again!

Kyle,
Thanks so much for attending the workshop and posting your Implementation Plan. I’m so glad you were able to attend the workshop with Michael and work on this plan together. You may want to review Sue’s response to him as well. She provided a link to our LMS Migration page that you may find helpful. Also, Page Jerzak and Geni Wright from…[Read more]

Hi Bill!
Thanks so much for attending the workshop and posting your Implementation Plan. Is there anything in particular you would like feedback on?

I noticed you took advantage of the orange action items boxes, and many of those items you’ve already marked complete. That’s great!

We would also like to solicit your feedback and contributions to…[Read more]

Thanks so much for attending the workshop and posting your Implementation Plan. I enjoyed reviewing your file, and it looks like you’re off to a great start. You were very active in the workshop discussions, and I can see you left with some new ideas. One thing I noticed was that you took advantage of the orange action items boxes. Hopefully that…[Read more]

Cindy,
Thanks so much for attending the workshop and posting your Implementation Plan. I just reviewed Sara’s plan, which is pretty similar, so you may want to check out my response to her as well. It’s great that you had the opportunity to attend the workshop and work on your plan together. One thing I mentioned to her was the creative use of…[Read more]

Sara,
Thanks so much for attending the workshop and posting your Implementation Plan. I really enjoyed reviewing the SWOT analysis in your attached file. One theme that jumped out at me as I read through all three tables was time. I think we all struggle with that – never enough time! I know we can’t create more time, but perhaps creative…[Read more]

Marilyn,
Thanks so much for attending the workshop and revising the implementation plan to meet your needs. It looks like you have ambitious but attainable 30, 60, & 90 days goals. I noticed that in Phase 2 you discuss using a rubric to review the current version of your course, which is an excellent idea. I hope you find a rubric that works for…[Read more]

Geni,
Thanks so much for attending the workshop and posting your Implementation Plan. I enjoyed reviewing your file with short and long term plans pre/post 90 days. Sounds like you’re ramping up for a big LMS conversion, and after a recent discussion with Page I believe we will have a follow up discussion to share some lessons learned from our c…[Read more]

Samantha,
I’m so glad you were able to tweak this implementation plan and still make it a valuable exercise for someone in your role. This is great, and it gave me a few ideas for teaming up with our Faculty Center for Teaching & Learning to get more involved in our New Faculty Orientation program. When I first read your post, I immediately…[Read more]

Michael (and Kyle).

This was very exciting to review! Many many years ago I was part of a UCF team that went to LSSC and worked on the design and development of a professional development program with your faculty and for your faculty. It has come a long way (and so have we with online teaching and learning) over the years.

From what you…[Read more]

Heidi,

You’ve done a great job covering a lot of important materials and included some great activities! My only additional feedback (and it might be covered under the “Develop a plan for continued improvement in your…[Read more]

Michelle, thanks for you post, for attending the workshop, and posting your Implementation Plan. (Heidi, thanks for you feedback as well!)

I enjoyed reviewing your file. Especially the course outline and the rubric you’ve created. We use a “short” rubric as well for our professional development course:…[Read more]

Thanks so much for attending the workshop and posting your Implementation Plan. I enjoyed reviewing your file. I have to say, I am intrigued by the excitement of online course quality/rubric initiative that the State has been active with lately. Hopefully the initiative by The Florida State University System, through its 2025 Strategic Plan for…[Read more]
