Excellent! Online Teaching
A fully-online 12-week workshop; 8 weeks of online engagement and collaboration followed by 4 weeks of practicum coached by an expert online facilitator.
The workshop’s topics are guided by the chapters of the book Excellent! Online Teaching: Effective Strategies for a Successful Semester Online by Aaron Johnson. As a result of this workshop, you should be able to answer these question about online teaching and learning:
- Am I ready? Can my class really become a community?
- How do I communicate well with my students? How do start each week? How do I connect with my students?
- What do I do with failing students? What’s the most important thing?
- How do I grade discussions? How do I give feedback? What sort of feedback do my students need?
- Where do I begin?
- What can I accomplish with the help of the workshop’s practicum?
This experience was created with support from the Endowed Teaching Chair project.
Online Learning Committee
ICC’s Online Learning Committee has faculty and staff membership from academic and student service departments. The committee meets six times each academic year.
