Online Teaching Working Group

The Online Teaching Working Group (OTWG) is a group of instructors teaching online courses for the first time. Through the OTWG, participants will build a community of peers, receive professional development from campus experts, improve their knowledge and use of effective online teaching strategies, and get hands-on experience with the LMS and the online classroom developed by IDD. We seek to shift instructor perspectives on what online learning means. 

Throughout participation in the OTWG, you will learn to:

1. Apply best practices in online pedagogy to your teaching.
2. Enhance your confidence with online pedagogy.
3. Increase your confidence with the IDD online classroom template.
4. Leverage the benefits of online learning to enhance your online classes.
5. Construct module-level learning objectives that align with course content.

Who Can participate?

Anyone who is teaching their first online course in either fall 2024 or spring 2025 semesters can join! Full-and part-time faculty, staff, and graduate students are welcome, though you must be teaching an online course at 麻豆传媒. Space is limited and participants are selected on a first come, first served basis.

what do i have to do?

You are asked to attend all meetings, actively engage with peers, incorporate your learning into your course design and classroom practices, and participate in ongoing program evaluation.
