Training for Online Course Design, Development and Delivery
This message to faculty and staff has been approved by Robert J. Fuselier, Director of the Office of Distance Learning.
As a new semester gets underway, the Office of Distance Learning provides training to help instructors enhance the quality of the design and delivery of online courses.
New Webinars
We're offering new webinars this spring on how to make Word and PDF documents accessible and how to use templates to enrich course design:
- Make Office Documents Accessible. Learn about making headings, image descriptions, text columns, and tables accessible in this hands-on session.
- Make PDF Documents Accessible. Format examples of PDF documents in this session, which addresses common accessibility issues found in PDFs.
- Use Templates to Make Your Course Site Pop! Use the DesignPLUS editor to customize templates to meet individual course needs.
Quality Course Design, Development, and Delivery Series
We continue to provide training to help you incorporate elements of quality design into your online courses. Webinars in this series review the Quality Matters rubric, objectives and alignment, and the principles of universal design. You'll also learn about delivery strategies for effective communication, ways to engage students with online activities, and approaches to online pedagogy.
Skill-building Sessions
We offer skill-building webinars that highlight instructional tools such as Ally, Kaltura, Zoom, and the Canvas Gradebook. From making content accessible to creating engaging media, these tools can help you enrich your online course and your learners' experiences.
