Online Course Design Institute
The Online Course Design Institute (OCDI) is a five-week, asynchronous online experience for K-State instructors who are currently teaching or plan to develop an online course in the next year. Optional synchronous sessions may be offered and will be recorded for later viewing.
We plan to offer the OCDI each term. In Fall 2024, the OCDI will be offered from Sept. 3 through Oct. 4, 2024.
About the Program
This program is based on a Backward Design course building model that walks participants through drafting course goals and objectives, course mapping, and assignment and assessment design. You will be engaging in five modules.
- Module 1: Teaching Persona, Philosophy and Practice
- Module 2: Fundamentals of Online Teaching and Learning
- Module 3: Integrating Technology into Teaching and Learning
- Module 4: Student Success in Online Teaching and Learning
- Module 5: Assessment in Online Teaching and Learning
