CELT works closely with the Center for eLearning to support Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø faculty who integrate educational technology into the classroom or teach fully online courses. When off-campus, faculty might also want to utilize digital resources to help them as teachers and throughout their academic careers, ranging from viewing Hoonuit's quick videos to reading blogs about higher education.
The Center for eLearning supports individual faculty and academic programs in a number of ways:
One-on-one consultations with instructional designers, who can recommend online teaching strategies and educational technologies that are informed by research and best practices. Call (229-245-6490), e-mail (blazeview@valdosta.edu), or set up appointments in the Center for eLearning. Additionally, stop by their Office Hours in CELT that are visible in their individual online bios.
Assistance with designing an online course in BlazeVIEW, or building an entire online curriculum, as well as making revisions in the following years. Rubrics can be created and will follow standards in online learning, such as this Rubric for BlazeVIEW Course Design. Faculty can also watch videos or download digital BlazeVIEW Guides for Instructors if they need assistance with the Gradebook tool, for instance.
Through infobase, that is available in the list of portals in MyÏ㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø, faculty have continuous access to online professional development videos about teaching. Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø faculty are encouraged to use infobase as a 24-hour resource for improving instruction and which can be embedded into their BlazeVIEW courses. All videos are short for quick viewing.
Sample infobase videos include strategies for critical thinking, cooperative learning, reading comprehension, online instruction, using technology in the classroom, supporting diverse populations of students, accessibility, and academic integrity, as well as there are some modules about course design and assessment.
For instructional support with this tool, see the eLearning website about infobase and contact eLearning's staff with questions.
Check out this archive of websites, advice columns, CELT Tuesday Teaching Tips, and blogs about teaching. They are quick reads. Or, you can even see links to the list of our colleagues who won the highest honor at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø for excellence in teaching, the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), and online teaching.
