A two-day professional development workshop was held in Boulder, CO on June 13 - June 14, 2013. Faculty and instructional designers from eight institutions participating in the Consortium for Healthcare Education Online (CHEO) grant attended the workshop. Funded through a U.S. Department of Labor Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant, workshop faculty experts presented information on best practices in online course and lab experiment development. Presentations were focused on online pedagogy and course design, creating openly-licensed courses, and a tour of new and emerging technologies and applications for teaching online. Faculty and staff from the following institutions participated in the workshop:
Flathead Valley Community College
Great Falls College Montana State University
Kodiak College University of Alaska Anchorage
Lake Area Technical Institute
Laramie County Community College
Otero Junior College
Pueblo Community College
Red Rocks Community College
The objectives of the workshop were to provide participants an opportunity to:
- Apply the Department of Labor's grant requirements for openly licensed content to courses.
- Apply instructional design principles to course development.
- Build knowledge in selecting assessment approaches, creating effective interaction strategies, and insuring quality in design and delivery.
- Identify new and emerging technology tools that can be used in these classes.
- Determine if the technology used is "not enough," "just enough," or "too much."
- Understand how NANSLO experiments work, the steps involved in designing new ones, and how to integrate them into courses.
- Create a meaningful relationship with the project evaluator by understanding the role of evaluation in the CHEO project.
