Bobbi,
Hi. Sorry I missed the 2nd life meeting.
Anyway, what did you mean by "Preparation for teaching online or for
developing online, or both" Do you want us to select one of these two
option for every event title we offer to faculty? Are we only collecting
faculty devleopment that is strictly for online instructors. Most of my
topics are open to all instructors. Should we specify that in some way?
Also, I'm familiar with Google Groups for a place to share with a select
group. I'm also aware of Google docs which is a place we can all add to the
same document, but I've never used it. Finally, I think a simple wiki could
do the job, but I've never set one up, just used them. Just throwing around
some ideas for places to collect info, where we don't have to make one
person handle all the compiling.

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

Great idea on how to get us started and organized Bobbi. I'd be happy to
compile the master plan from what we post here. Would it be a good idea to
organize a f2f meeting for interested people, maybe in May after the
semester is over? In that meeting we could look at the master list, I could
share my experience with national tutor certification processes and
logistics, perhaps we could have Joan talk about her experiences in Virginia
and the state grant, Bobbi could give us feedback on MOL, and we could come
up with a plan. I'd be happy to host in Frederick, but I know a number of us
are in Baltimore so maybe that'd be a better area to convene? We could also
try online conferencing...though sometimes it's good to meet f2f for the
initial planning - maybe with an option of conferencing in at a distance for
those who can't travel.
Thanks,
Julie

I am in the midst, and am almost done, creating an on-line training workshop
that will last about 8-10 weeks. It's intense training, but the results of
my f2f version were good. Our faculty have asked for it to be online..... I
agree they should experience what it's like to be an online student before
they go online themselves.
I'm happy to share my course, which is in Blackboard...... it's not done
yet, but almost.
