Invitation to Participate in USD's First MOOC on course design

Hi folks, 

The CTL is excited to offer you a brand new way to learn about teaching.  “Don’t Panic!  The Professor’s Guide to Teaching:  Course Design” is a four-week MOOC that will help participants develop interesting, engaging classes that will provide students with opportunities for truly significant learning.  Information for this course may be found at  https://www.canvas.net/courses/don-t-panic-the-professor-s-guide-to-teaching-course-design .  The course will run from September 8 through October 7.  We anticipate that successful completion will take about 2 hours a week.  Participants who finish the course within the specified guidelines will receive a Certificate of Completion.

Although this MOOC is available worldwide, we have developed it specifically as a way to help USD distance faculty and graduate students.  We will host additional on-campus “meet-ups”, and are always available to you for greater information or 1:1 pedagogical and technological assistance.

This is an exciting first for the CTL, and we look forward to sharing our experiences with the rest of the university community.

Sincerely,

Bruce (and the whole CTL Team!)
