Are you interested in online education? Do you currently, or want to, teach courses that use CLEW or other online technologies but you're not sure if what you're doing is effective? Then this course may be for you! Online Education is a half course that provides an introduction to the world of online education, exploring some of the major themes and pedagogical issues in online learning and teaching, as well as the tools available to instructors in the University of Windsor environment.

Is this course for you?

This iteration of the course will be run in intensive mode over the course of two weeks and will require some face to face work (including starting with a bang with a full day of instruction) and independent learning online. This course will also be somewhat experimental in nature in that it is the first time it will be run in this intensive mode, and we will be using, and testing, a couple of tools that are not yet available to the broader campus community. This will include piloting the new version of CLEW due to go live later in the year, and a synchronous collaboration platform that will also be in pilot mode. As with testing any new platform, there is therefore a chance that there may be some technical issues and a learning curve for us all, but we will be doing everything in our power to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible. The plus for you is that you will be ahead of the game when these tools are eventually released for the campus, and will have had an opportunity to have input to the evaluation of them.

Dates: This hybrid course runs from July 11-22, 2011. Learning will occur in both face-to-face classes, and in independent work online.

There will be three in-class sessions on the following dates:

- Monday, 11 July, 9:30am - 4:30pm (whole day with break for lunch)

- Monday, 18 July, 1:30pm - 4:30pm (including a pot-luck lunch)

- Friday, 22 July,  1:30pm - 4:30pm (final course presentations)

Pre-requisites: Undergraduate degree in any discipline, a computer with broadband Internet access, a webcam, speakers/headphones, a microphone (inbuilt versions of these are in most laptops and standalone webcams - no additional equipment will be needed if you have these already built into your computer). Preference will be given to individuals currently enrolled in the University Teaching Certificate Program.

Audience: Faculty, sessional instructors, and graduate students with teaching responsibilities.

Please Note: This course is being run in intensive mode and will be a combination of face to face and online work over the course of two weeks (July 11-22, 2011). If you have any questions about the course, please contact the instructors, Nick Baker (nbaker@uwindsor.ca; ext. 4925) or Lorie Stolarchuk (lorie@uwindsor.ca; ext. 3050).
