Once you are recommended by your Dean for a development stipend, you will be contacted by the Center for Online Learning. • Participate in the online training course. • Attend small group face-to-face debriefing.
If you plan to teach an existing online course, you need to address the pedagogical, logistical and technical training to succeed ATOC is designed to model the delivery of existing online courses. This is a self paced, 2 week, fully online course. Upon completion of the online course, you will be assigned an Instructional Designer to assist with any additions or changes that may be necessary for the course.
