  • 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]

    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]

  • 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?!?

  • We have just started working on implementing an Teaching Online course at Seminole State. Though our course framework is over 12-weeks, I wanted to see how our frame work would look in the supplied 5 week model from TOPkit. It was interesting to see what to scale back on and what to combine.
    Excelsior!

  • This guide has been helpful for us at Seminole State as we look to update our current training for faculty development and teaching online. The two days at the workshop helped us to find some clarity within our ideas and focus some of the scatter. As we move forward in the next few months, I’m sure this implementation plan will continue to be referenced!

  • Hello Michelle,
    Thanks for sharing your Solo checklist. This looks like a great way to help faculty look objectively through their course. I like how you’ve simplified some items to help the review process feel a bit less “overwhelming”.

    I noticed that you included quite a few links to resources that faculty can access if they find that they…[Read more]

  • Attached please find my TOPkit implementation plan.
    On pages 15 – 20 I included the outline for a new Faculty Professional Development course that we are developing. We plan to complete the development process by the end of April and run our first session (online, 6 weeks) during May and June. Our main objective with this course is to help…[Read more]
