| This
four-part module is intended to help faculty consider the transition from
"traditional" to online teaching. It does this by covering learning theory
and styles, good teaching practices, building online communities, and dealing
with hot topics. If you're interested in learning more about online instructional
design issues, this may be a good starting point.

Step One now. |
This
module might be "just a brushing up" of your computer skills, or something
more involved. This section will help you self-assess your needs (or we
can complete it together) and get you focussed on the essentials for online
productivity tools and getting organized. From here, we can help you get
the training you need.
Go
to Step Two now. |
This
module is intended to get you started using Cambrian's online course management
tool, called WebCT (Web Course Tools). If you just
want to try a few tools, such as Grades, E-mail and maybe a small Quiz
that automatically grades itself, this is the place for you! Your students
will love it, and you'll "get your WebbedCT feet wet" gradually.
Go
to Step Three now. |
This
module is intended to help you develop solid pedagogical themes in your
online courses, which require comfort with many WebCT tools, and an applied
understanding of online instructional design. For example, we'll help you
incorporate a communication-rich scenario and help you assess its effectiveness.
