For several years, Dee Fink & Associates has been dedicated to helping teachers design significant learning experiences for students in face-to-face courses. With the increased demand for online or virtual courses, teachers have increasingly been faced with the need to design significant online and hybrid learning experiences as well.
Dee Fink & Associates is, in addition to its previous workshops, introducing a new online course, specifically intended to show faculty members how to design or redesign their own online or hybrid courses. This course will teach faculty members how to apply the principles of Integrated Course Design can be, but it will also provide information about tools and procedures that can be used to meet the specific challenges and opportunities of teaching in an online environment.
This online course will be available, beginning February, 2011.
What Will Be the “Take Away’s”?
By the end of this online course, participants will:
- Be able to apply the principles of Integrated Course Design to any online or hybrid courses, so that students have a significant learning experience,
- Be able to use tools and procedures that are unique to the online teaching environment, and
- Have one online or hybrid course already put together.
