This 5-week online seminar for University of Minnesota instructors is set up in Canvas so that you can explore, experience and analyze pedagogical practices from a learner’s perspective in order to consider what you might adapt or incorporate as you (re)design your online or hybrid courses.
You’ve taught an online or hybrid course in the past and have experience creating activities and interacting with students in those environments. Now what? If you’re interested in building your online teaching skills with a supportive group of colleagues, this seminar is for you.
The modules in this online seminar will address:
- creating community, engagement, and instructor presence in your course
- using video and multimedia effectively
- creating learning-centered online syllabi
- strategies for gathering and providing feedback in the online environment
In addition to exploring the topics mentioned above, you’ll have an opportunity to develop and present a new or revised teaching strategy that you’d like to pilot in a future version of your course.
Successful completion: Participants who are active in all online discussion forums, who regularly participate in Zoom sessions, and who compose a VoiceThread presentation highlighting a new or revised teaching strategy will be awarded $200 in professional development funds.
