Session Description
Designing online and hybrid courses requires dedication to the subject matter, a passion for teaching, and attention to detail. Our interactive presentation will illustrate the tips we’ve gathered as we help faculty members through this process. We will demonstrate the course mapping process we employ, the best practices we’ve learned through trial and error and by gathering faculty feedback, and the step-by-step procedure used to ensure our faculty create quality, polished, and comprehensive courses that are sure to engage our students. Come prepared to discuss your own thoughts on faculty development and course development.

Interactivity
Participants will help to design a short course map during the session by offering their ideas on learning outcomes, competencies, assessments, and learning activities. The presenters will put the map together and share the finished product with the participants once completed.
