Distance Learning at Stark Campus
DEVELOPING FULLY ONLINE COURSES
Fully online indicates that no on-campus class time is scheduled. However, proctored testing may still be required.
- Proctored Testing
- A fully online course must be approved by Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State University at Stark administration and your Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ department. That is, just because you want to teach it does not mean that you will get to teach it.
DEVELOPING HYBRID COURSES
Hybrid indicates that on-campus class time is regularly scheduled but a minimal of 50% of the course is online.
- A hybrid course must be approved by Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State University at Stark administration.
CONSIDERATIONS
- Online and hybrid courses are expected to maintain the same enrollment capacity as on-campus courses.
- Online and hybrid instructors should anticipate that preparation for these courses is very intense.
- Online and hybrid instructors should be comfortable using basic technology, including Canvas tools.
- Online and hybrid instructors should begin designing new online courses a year in advance.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & TRAINING
- Attend faculty training workshops.
- Participate in the Stark Campus Distance Learning Community of Practice (DLCoP).
- Thoroughly explore Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State's Online Teaching site for detailed information before developing a course.
- Take advantage of your colleagues' experience, as well as your instructional designer, before you begin preparing for a course.
