This one-day session is for faculty who are interested (or staff who are supporting faculty) in planning the integration of the Web into a traditional course.

Are you transforming your course into a virtual course, a hybrid course (reduced seat time), or a supplemented course (Web assignments integrated into a course with routine seat time)? Want to know where to begin and how to be effective in determining where to spend your time and design a sound pedagogical course on the web? This workshop places an emphasis on the course, on the materials, on the students, and on the learning environment. Faculty participants are invited to bring a syllabus and other materials from a specific course to work on during the session.

Planning has to be done in a creative and supportive atmosphere first, where people can talk about all this stuff BEFORE getting involved in HOW to digitize, HOW to deliver etc. For this reason, I think productive planning exercises are best. Concept mapping is good...helping people get a grasp of how to organize online material and how to generate online community and such. I also like having participants complete various small exercises that they can take away with them and use as maps or guides for their work once they settle down to do it.

AGENDA

1. Welcome and introductions of participants.

2. Describe intended outcomes for this workshop.

3. Discuss:

Who are your students? What do they expect from your course? How do they learn? How do you teach? How can you adapt your classroom style and engage the learners in an effective online environment? How can you structure web course materials to take advantage of these differences in learning?

4. Student/Learner Assessment. Discussion of different "Learning Styles" -- Howard Gardner

4. Expectations for course, requirements hw/sw, demographics

6. Differences between fully online and web-supported courses

7. Demonstration of examples of effective "Online Media." What are "Learning Objects"? Visit Merlot: http://merlot.csuchico.edu - (Show examples)

10. What is meant by "course design"?

http://www.csuchico.edu/tlp/webct/4_1_eod_welton.html

The Event-Oriented Design Model, designed by Dr. Tom Welsh. How it might be applied to your course. Pay particular attention to: Synchronous events, Limited Synchronous events, and Asynchronous events.

12. Brainstorm with Event-Oriented Design. Rethink your course using technology:

a. What do you do in the classroom now? You pedagogical style?

b. What are your overall course goals and student performance

objectives?

c. What are you trying to teach? basics, processes, critical

thinking, undergrad. or graduate course?

d. What do you want students to know, think/feel, or do?

13. Exercise: Event-Oriented Design Worksheet (See EOD_handout.pdf)

14. Summary, conclusions, recommendations

PRESENTERS: Kathy Fernandes, CSU Chico and Peggy Lant, CSU Hayward.

Kathy Fernandes is the Associate Director of Chico's Technology and Learning Program (TLP) http://www.csuchico.edu/tlp/, and has led the program since its inception in 1995. She has conducted numerous workshops that focus on integrating technology wisely into the teaching/learning process. Having worked at CSU Chico for 12 years and with a Masters Degree in Instructional Design, Kathy has provided outstanding opportunities for faculty to reflect on the connections between pedagogy, content, and technology.

Peggy Lant currently is at Cal State Hayward and is involved in their on-line Web teaching certificate program.
