“We’ll figure it out as we go along” might have been an acceptably adventurous approach to online education in the early days – but as more schools, faculty and students commit themselves to Internet-based learning, it really is important to determine, codify and implement best practices. It’s the best way to ensure that online programs consistently support a school’s commitment to quality, a faculty’s desire to teach effectively, and students’ need for the best possible learning environment.

How can you ensure your online programs are fundamentally sound, and consistent across every department on your campus?

One effective way is to work from a campus-wide template. Templates take the guesswork out of course development, and give everyone involved a clear roadmap to success.

With this seminar CD, you can learn more about the benefits of using a template, and how to apply one on your campus. In Using a Template to Assist Faculty in Online Course Development, you’ll find out how a template-driven approach can:

• Create a consistent look and feel for courses within your program
• Help adjuncts or faculty new to teaching in an online environment
• Enhance your program branding
• Aid in program accreditation by providing a rich and continuously updated learning environment
• Provide an environment where students focus on course content rather than on using the technology
• Reduce faculty and student anxiety by clearly stating expectations and providing resources needed for success
• Help faculty adapt face-to-face content to online use
• And more

Led by Renee M. Cicchino, M.A., of Seton Hall University, this content-rich, 75-minute presentation will demonstrate how to build your template, from tutorials and navigation instructions for students, to policy guidelines and other administrative materials. In addition, you’ll learn how to identify the institution-, department-, and program-specific resources needed to implement a template campus-wide.
