“Technology Mentorship Program” Overview �A holistic and personalized approach to professional development in online/blended learning and teaching �Multiple opportunities for feedback and evaluation while developing and teaching a new course �Faculty get to know one another better across disciplines
Program Goals � Mentors (Guides) work with faculty Course Developers to create/recreate and deliver an online, face-to-face, or hybrid course � Each course is reviewed with the Quality Matters rubric � Overall goal is to increase technology use as well as course quality in delivery � Non-punitive, collegial environment
Guides �Complete Quality Matters or commensurate educational technology training/experience �Initiate and attend regular meetings with protégés (at least once monthly) �Informally review courses with Course Developers at the end of the first semester �Review courses with the other Guides at the end of the second semester and certify passing faculty �Stipends provided
Course Developers �Agree to complete development of a course that will be taught in the second semester �Any department , full-time or part-time �Any type of course – new, existing, online, traditional, hybrid �Guides can choose to work with faculty across multiple departments (up to 3 Course Developers per mentor) �Stay in regular communication with mentors throughout the academic year �Stipends provided
Informal Quality Matters Process � Mentors provide continual feedback on all areas of course Objectives Assessments Interaction Course Navigation Accessibility � Formal review at end of spring semester is performed with all mentors together – collaborative effort
Ongoing Training and Support �Monthly workshops each semester on various topics chosen based on faculty interests and feedback (see http: //www. pnc. edu/distance) �Faculty encouraged to use the tools and strategies that work best for them �No specific tool required other than the use of the LMS (Black. Board)
Lessons Learned �Guides have learned a lot about their own teaching as well as supporting others �Gaining greater respect and building community �Ensuring that it’s not all about “online” encourages wider participation
Ongoing Challenges �Time �Consistent participation �Providing constructive criticism �Helping faculty choose the tools best for their courses �Taking things one step at a time
For the Audience �Have you tried/participated in course development programs similar to this? What has worked? What hasn’t? �What have been the major hurdles to implementation of formal training programs for online/hybrid/technology-assisted teaching?
