The Online Course Development Workshop is a two-week online/f2f workshop and is one pathway to online teaching certification at KSU. (See below for the all online three week option).
This training will explore aspects of online pedagogy，effective practices for online course design and introduce the Quality Matters (QM) Rubric for Online Courses which provides a framework for designing，developing，and improving online courses. This is the only CETL workshop that will lead to online teaching certification at KSU. You must be a current KSU instructor to register for this workshop.
Since this workshop is delivered in a hybrid format，you will participate in synchronous and asynchronous online activities and one face-to-face session. You will have the opportunity to experience online instruction from a students' perspective，complete activities at your own pace，and explore various course tools. Please note: Alternative online coursework can substitute for the f2f segment，if scheduling issues exist for you.
By registering for this webinar，you are responsible for completing all 3 components of the workshop described below. This is part 1 of a 3 part workshop. You will not see a Part 2 on this website，as it is the asynchronous part of the workshop. Please read below for more information.
After completing this training，you should be able to:
- Identify the underlying principles & essential standards of the QM rubric
- Use the Quality Matters rubric to develop and evaluate your online course
- Recognize and integrate effective practices in your online course design and delivery
- Identify the KSU groups that support online learning
- Describe the KSU online course submission and peer review processes
- Outline a potential module to use in your course
Participants will be required to complete all three components of the training. This includes:
- a live webinar (Oct 30 - 9:30-10:30am) Information will be emailed to your kennesaw.edu address closer to the date of the webinar. This is recorded for those who cannot attend.
- an asynchronous online component available for two weeks (Oct 30 - Nov 13)
a 2.5-hour，face-to-face interactive segment (Nov 13 - 9:30-12:00)

This workshop is asynchronous. The workshop dates are 10/16/18 through 10/30/18.
One of the factors that affect the quality of online courses is instructor facilitation. There are many aspects of facilitation that contribute to a successful online course. This workshop is designed for faculty members who are teaching a course they developed or one a colleague created. We will look at why it is important to focus on course facilitation，what successful facilitation looks like，ways to provide effective feedback，creating a sense of community，time management strategies，and how to ensure instructor presence in an online course. This workshop would be appropriate for anyone getting ready to facilitate an online course，or in the beginning stages of doing this.
This CETL workshop will lead to online teaching certification at KSU. This workshop will be delivered completely asynchronously over the course of two weeks in Desire 2 Learn. Information will be emailed to your kennesaw.edu address closer to the start date. Working knowledge of D2L is required prior to taking this workshop.

Are your students unprepared for class? Do they fail to turn in simple assignments? Do they seem disengaged? Resentful? How can we get our students to care about our class as much as we do? How do we spark motivation in students who seem “entitled” and “uninterested”? – October 09, 2018

Alexander Astin contends that higher education is biased toward students who are perceived as smart. As a consequence，the curricular structure and individual courses are designed to reward students who are "smart" and penalize (if not pose insurmountable barriers to) students who are not. This book club will discuss how a bias toward "smartness" affects our own teaching and limits what our students can accomplish. We will also consider Astin's suggestions for what we can do to change our mindsets as instructors and improve the success of more，equally deserving，students. Sign up to receive a free book and a discussion fitting for the USG's "Momentum Year." – September 24, 2018
