[Idag] ($PAM) Question about Online Cert

[Julie Shattuck]

Hi Suzi,
I think there are possibilities and a potential demand for certification at the national level, though it's always good to pilot on a smaller scale first (but that doesn't have to be limited to MD). I know the tutor certification I was involved in was at the national level - any tutor trained through the CRLA (College Reading and Learning Association - http://www.crla.net/tutorcert.htm) could take their certificate(s) to any of the over 1000 colleges and universities that ended up involved in the process.

One of my colleagues just came back from the League of Innovation with information I want to explore further on adjunct training modules developed by the League (this training is for adjuncts teaching f2f classes I think). The workshop was "Incorporating Getting Results Into a Statewide Basic Training Course for Adjunct Faculty" presented by Ivy Tech CC and the "Getting Results" modules can be found at http://www.league.org/gettingresults/web/ - at first glance it looks like a great (free) resource.

Hey, all, 

Definitely still interested, but had a question about the scope of the
online certification. Would this ultimately just be something for
Maryland Online schools, or would it be something that folks outside of
MD could participate in, and possibly QM-wide?

For example, I know a school in Philadelphia, PA that's really intrigued
by the idea. :)

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?
 
Bobbi
