Lisa Craft, instructional designer who regularly offers the course at K-State Salina, will teach the class on the Manhattan campus. Participants will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge by working on building or redesigning their own online classes.
"I've appreciated all the information, insight and reading," said Ann Coulson, assistant professor in family studies and human services, and past course participant. "I've loved the discussion board because I've gotten so many good ideas from other faculty members. I think it's been an incredible course. I hope other faculty members get the same opportunity."
Faculty and staff interested in online teaching can attend the Online Essentials capstone event later this year, where class participants have the opportunity to share what they have learned.
K-State Global Campus is pleased to provide educational opportunities for K-State faculty and staff. To take part in a future offering of the K-State Online Essentials course, please contact Ashley Noll at ashley04@k-state.edu.
