This is the resource that was shown in the live Week 3 session - demonstrating how to create a magazine style syllabus

Several professors at UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy have embraced the flipped classroom model. View this video to see The Flipped Classroom: Innovations in Teaching and Learning in action by all of the divisions in the school.

This goes to the UNC Eshelman SOP site and there are a lot of interesting, practical links here. I thought it was very useful and I hope even those of you who are teaching less science-based content will find it helpful.

January 2014 Tracking Online Education in the U.S. report

This is a provocative article (even more enjoyable reading the blogs concerning it) regarding faculty online "public presence". I know I am struggling with privacy versus connection in trying to establish an online presence.

Stumbled on this as I'm trying to find a way to develop an online simulated lab experience this week. It may be geared more for science and math

faculty development specialists must pay close attention to the aspects of course development that are critical to the success of student learners. The likelihood of success is greatly increased when instructional design is integrated with the course's delivery tool. At ISU such integration is facilitated through the use ofWebCT, the course management system (CMS) supported by the university. Does Emory have such a tool?

The focus that I respond to is on UDL being an expansion of the way we learn and teach, not a separate idea.

Georgia Tech Research on Accessible Distance Education (GRADE) is a research project at the Georgia Tech Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access (CATEA). Provides actual modules showing how courses that present challenges due to their nature (engineering, mathematics) or inclusion of rich media can be designed to increase accessibility.

Lot's of interesting charts and worksheets on creating assessment tools. Worth taking a look.

The article discusses the online virtual library, Pop Culture Universe: Icons, Idols, Ideas that provides unique historical perspective of culture and events over the last century in the U.S. As stated, high school students, teachers, and school librarians can access content which is taken from over 400 print reference titles published by the Greenwood Publishing Group. Reportedly, the content presents a comprehensive look at American entertainment through movies, TV shows, music, and awards.

This report offers some observations on the use of multimedia resources in online courses. The focus is more on course development (both time investment and quality of materials produced) than on student experience or learning outcomes, but this can still be a valuable tool for instructors thinking about whether (and how) to use multimedia in their online course designs.

These guidelines focus specifically on hybrid course design and instruction beginning with Fundamental Questions, moving through Best Practices and also covering pitfalls and practices to avoid.

Hey, Ginny, I liked this post. It is bulleted and right to the point. It also brings up something that concerns me for our students, specifically tidbits for what to do (and NOT do) when students are enrolled in multiple hybrid courses. Thanks

This is a very helpful resource, as it is presented for the novice learner and has lots of basic details that I'm trying to make sense of. Thanks for sharing.

In the time I do not have, I am keeping an eye (and only that) on a Coursera online course on how to create an online course. Nowhere as exhastive as this one, but it does provide me with hunting ground for sites to suggest in this forum. Here is one of two I will post on writing SLO's

Nice article with an excellent Bibliography to take you further into the rabbit hole of this discussion.

Winona State University - Winona Minnesota has made it their mission to collect rubrics and make them available to all.

Thank you, Judy. I'm considering using rubrics for the first time and this is going to be a great resource.

This is a special report that features 12 articles from "Online Classroom" that offers some insight into how to assess online learning at the course, program, and institutional levels.

M4 Slides for live session

Leah, Thank you for this - it was a lot to absorb in the hour-long session and this will make it easier.
