Challenge: The program director for an established online nursing program was looking to update curriculum and provide faculty with ideas, tools and best practices for online facilitation.
Solution: In coordination with the on-campus instructional design team, we developed and facilitated a series of on-campus faculty workshops delivered over two months. These highly interactive workshops covered topics including authentic assessment, cognitive load, providing feedback, and best practices in online course facilitation.
Results: Participation was high and all attendees, including the instructional designers and program director, provided rave reviews and noted in post-workshop surveys that their expectations were met or exceeded.
