Summer 2009 Curricular Redesign for the Online Environment

June 15, 2009 - July 10, 2009

Purpose
The purpose of this program is to prepare faculty to teach in the online environment. This professional development activity provides participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop and deliver either a blended/hybrid or totally online course. 

Schedule
The Summer 2009 Curricular Redesign Program is a fully online program.  Participants will meet online for four weeks beginning June 15, 2009, and ending on July 10, 2009.

Participation Requirements
Participants are expected to spend 2 to 3 hours per day (M-F) completing required activities and assignments and participating in online discussions.  Participants must complete all assignments and activities which will result in the redesign of a major portion of one face-to-face course for the online environment. After completion of the online portion of the program, participants will complete development of their selected course and deliver their online course during the 2009-2010 academic year.

Prerequisites

1. Knowledge and use of the internet.
2. Familiarity with D2L.

If you feel that you are lacking in either of the prerequisites above, the Teaching and Learning Resource Network (TLRN) will be happy to work with you prior to the program to upgrade your skills. Please call Mary at x3047.

Reimbursement
Participants will receive a $3000 stipend for both portions of the program. $1200 will be paid after completion of the online portion of the program when the participant has completed all activities and assignments. The remaining $1,800 will be paid upon completion of the delivered online course during the 2009-2010 academic year.

How to Apply
Applications are accepted through April 15, 2009. Proposals will be selected based on the following factors: availability of funds, the course being developed, target audience, goals and anticipated gains, campus wide impact, and availability of the participant to attend all sessions. In addition, each participant will be asked to submit an email or other electronic document indicating support of their department chair to the Center for Academic Excellence and Student Engagement, caese@uwsp.edu. Application decisions will be made by the Provost and college deans. Applicants will be notified by the end of April of 2009.  Participants of past workshops are not eligible to re-apply.
