Blended/Online Learning Workshop 2013
The Winter 2013 workshop has concluded. Please check again in May for future offerings, possibly in summer or next winter.
With support from the Office of the Provost, representatives from the Center for Instructional Innovation & Assessment (CIIA), Academic Technology & User Services (ATUS), and Extended Education (EE) conduct a 6-week intensive workshop to interested instructors, entitled Teaching a Blended/Online Course.
The goal of this six-week blended-format workshop is to take the participants through the planning, design, and implementation process of creating a blended or online course, provide an opportunity to experience a “blended format” course, and give them the ability to create blended/online courses on their own.
- Each successful participant for the “certificate option” will receive a $500 stipend and a certificate of completion (see syllabus for additional information and requirements). In addition, all certificate option participants will receive a headset and book on the first day of the workshop.
- A limited number of participants are also welcome to participate without this reward, in the “audit-only” option.
- This workshop is limited to WWU instructors, with priority given to those planning to teach blended/hybrid courses.
- Participants may expect to spend approximately 6 hours per week on workshop-related meetings, activities, and homework.
- We will be using the Canvas learning management environment both for workshop delivery and for participants to have a practice “sandbox” course.
