A course must achieve: “Yes” on all 17 of the 3 point “essential”

standards A minimum of 72 out of 85 points 72/85 = 85% The course under review does not have

to be perfect, but better than just “good enough”.

My courses are improved.Alignment of objectives, learning

activities, and assessments is much easier to recognize.

I have connected with other online instructors within our state and across the country.

Aids my teaching online and in the traditional classroom setting.

Basic Premise: Start simple and build on skill sets

Session 1: Introductions Session 2: Collaborative summary

writing Recorded Sessions: (interactive)

lectures Session 3: Collaborative midterm Session 4: Collaborative (timed) essay

Recorded instructions more time-efficient (but less personable?)

Can be more student-centered than I imagined (no “creepy treehouse.”)

Include equipment requirements (headphones/speakers & microphone) on syllabus w/ advance-notice email.

Gets very easy with practice!!

“students in our classes learn only to fill up those templates and fill in those electric boxes. . . . Students will not compose and create, making use of all the possible resources thereto; rather, they will complete someone else’s software package; they will be the invention of that package”
