Moving Rapidly to Remote Instruction"},"content":{"rendered":"

We\u00a0<\/strong>want to give a huge shout out to all instructors who made the shift to remote instruction with lightning speed so we could finish out the spring semester! As the parent of a graduating senior, I am so appreciative of everything you are doing so all of our students can complete this term.\u00a0 Has it been easy?\u00a0 No!\u00a0 Has it been comfortable? No!\u00a0 Are you making it work? Yes! If you’d had more time to make this move are there some things you would have done differently?\u00a0 Absolutely!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Guess what? We DO have more time to prepare our summer courses that were going to be offered in person, but now need to be moved to remote instruction. And we DO have the workshop to help you do just that!<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving Rapidly to Remote Instruction<\/strong> (MRRI) will help you rapidly develop your face-to-face course for remote instruction for this summer’s semesters. If you are planning on teaching a summer course that needs to move online quickly, attend this three-week online workshop that will walk you through an intentional course design process and provide the expertise of the Coulter Faculty Commons and experienced WCU online faculty in designing and facilitating remote instruction.\u00a0 This is not the full Online Course Design Institute, which is for online courses that will be taught next Spring.\u00a0 Instead, we have more time to prepare for the summer courses and design them to be more enjoyable by you and your students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dates<\/strong>:\u00a0 May 11 – May 31<\/span>
\nWhen<\/strong>: There will be a combination of live Zoom sessions, recorded tutorials, content and assignments\/deliverables.\u00a0 You will have the opportunity to have 1:1 conversations with CFC staff and experience online faculty. Expect to commit 8 – 10 hours each of the three weeks to complete this process and be ready to teach.<\/span>
\nWhere<\/strong>:\u00a0 Fully Online through Blackboard, Zoom, and Teams
\n<\/span>Outcome<\/strong>: By the end of May, you will have your online course designed and developed, in Blackboard, with a teaching\/facilitation plan in place.\u00a0 You will also have the support of colleagues and the CFC throughout the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The workshop is free and open to all instructors, including adjuncts.\u00a0 Please register<\/a>, to let us know you are joining us and to allow us to ensure that we have enough facilitators to make this workshop successful!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
