Session Description
The School for Professional Studies (SPS) at Elmhurst College was chartered on 07/01/12 with a goal of having online programs offered for non-traditional students by the Elmhurst College Online Center in Spring 2013. Faced with a challenging timeframe for the implementation and set-up of a learning management system and development of faculty training, courses, student orientation, and appropriate processes and policies to support faculty and student success, SPS married best practices in online learning, course development, and student affairs with the mission and core-values of the college to create a high-touch learning experience for students and faculty members.
Interactivity
The session will incorporate the use of polls, a running chat for sharing additional ideas and best practices, the ability to ask ongoing questions, and an opportunity for participants to connect with each other after the event to continue the discussion.
