[Idag] IDAG - Professional Development Question

[Bobbi H. Dubins]

Wow...I'm so excited to see this idea rearing it's head again.  I am going to speak to MOL about helping us to pull this project together, and put some kind of MOL "official" stamp on it.  Since MOL is already a consortium of Maryland colleges, that political animal is already taken care of.  That will also make it much easier to call it a "certification"...if we could get all MOL member institutions to agree that a particular set of trainings would qualify someone to be a "certified" online instructor. 
 
Perhaps this time there are enough of us interested in participating that we will get things rolling.  The idea of sharing our online faculty trainings has been discussed before, but it didn't seem like enough people were interested and the idea just sort of drifted away.
 
In the mean time, it might be a good idea to start collecting our ideas and thoughts in some organized manner.  Why don't we start by sharing the titles/subject of faculty trainings we already have developed?  Would someone like to volunteer to keep a master list for us?
 
I suggest that we include in the list all trainings that are offered to faculty to help them prepare to teach online.  I think it should include both f2f and online trainings...we can always convert the f2f to online trainings later.  So when we put something on our list it should include:
 
Training name
Delivery format (f2f or online)
Preparation for teaching online or for developing online, or both
Institution
 
Sound like a plan?

I'd be very interested in this as well.  We are redefining our program which in the past prepared faculty to develop their online course as well as prepared them to delivery the course.  This summer we are about to embark on separating the program a bit for those faculty who just need to deliver and those who will both delivery and develop. 

We also incorporate the QM Rubric into our training program.  Please let me know how I can be involved as I am very interested in this concept and very willing to share many of the materials that were developed for our program.

Sounds like a good idea, I'm interested.  We here at Morgan are required to
use the QM rubric....so I have created an online workshop based on those
standards.
