CEI Online Seminar: Developing Effective Online Learning Spaces

Apply by September 28, 2018
Seminar runs October 11 to November 16, 2018.
Canvas site opens October 4, 2018

The Center for Educational Innovation is pleased to announce the Fall 2018 Online Participatory Seminar: Designing Online Courses. This seminar will take place from October 15 until November 16, 2018 via Canvas. This guided experience will familiarize instructors with key ideas and principles for designing and teaching online courses. Applicants should plan for 15-20 hours of engagement from start to finish (approximately three hours per week).

Participants who are active in all online discussion forums, who regularly participate in WebEx sessions, and who share a presentation will be awarded $200 in professional development funds.

This five-week online seminar for University of Minnesota instructors is set up in Canvas to explore, experience, analyse, and try out pedagogical practices that you might incorporate as you (re)design your online or hybrid courses. In this way, you will experience Canvas as would a student.

Throughout the seminar, you will explore ways of applying course design principles with support from CEI consultants, experienced in online teaching and course design, who lead four synchronous WebEx practice-oriented conversations, and who will join you in discussion forums throughout the seminar. The discussion forums provide opportunities to interact with readings and peers as you thoughtfully develop your ideas about creating online experiences that are fulfilling for you and compelling for your students.

The seminar closes with each participant sharing a recorded presentation capturing their ideas about the “something new” they will implement in an upcoming course.

You must apply to participate in the seminar by September 28, 2018.
