On Friday, February 10 at 11 am, the College of Arts and Sciences Office of Distance Education will host a Teaching Forum to discuss gauging student workload, planning for an appropriate pacing of course content, and other aspects of designing online courses that are challenging, yet accessible and transparent. 

 

Making design choices about anticipated student workload, and how that will translate to an estimated weekly work time that aligns with the appropriate amount for the course credit hours, is an essential part of developing a plan of instruction. Faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences and the ASC Distance Education Coordinator will share their experiences designing and reviewing courses with student workload estimation in mind, and discuss balancing direct and indirect instruction to create an effective and cohesive learning experience.

Panelists:

Michelle Everson (Department of Statistics)
Christopher A Reed (Department of History
Ila Nagar (Department of Near Eastern and South Asian Languages and Cultures)
Jeremie Smith (ASC Office of Distance Education)

 

ASC ODE Teaching Forums are intended to be interactive spaces for instructors to learn from and inspire each other. Please bring your questions and comments about organizing your course in Carmen to engage the panel and fellow participants.
