Tenure and promotion to full are tremendous accomplishments，but what comes next? Once the celebration ends，service committments tend to build-up. Many faculty have overextended themselves for so long，they have habitualized the prioritization of work over other important persuits. Whether you have just achieved tenure or are nearing retirement，it is important to reflect on your body of work with an eye toward legacy-building. Participants in this workshop will identify how to leverage what matters most to build a fulfilling academic legacy. – January 26, 2018

Come with ideas and we will move through the process together，from identifying the goals of the session，planning the activities，and determining how student learning will be assessed. – January 25, 2018

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.

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 processesOutline 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 (January 24 - 10:00-11:00) Information will be emailed to your kennesaw.edu address closer to the date of the webinar.
