Accelerated online courses (8-week courses, for example) are being offered at an increasing rate due to non-traditional students’ desire to complete courses more quickly and utilize the flexibility and convenience that online learning affords. With this condensed format, it is natural to worry about how to get the same content across in a limited amount of time. Rather than focus on the limitations of this structure, we’ll consider the strategies necessary for student success and satisfaction in this ever-growing format.

What is the experience of students in your online course? Creating quality learner experience is often viewed through the lens of “presence” - social presence, teaching presence, and cognitive presence. What do these mean for your instruction? What is the practical application in your online course? Join us as we look at both research and practical experience examples to collaboratively put together a plan for practical teaching applications to create excellent learner experience.

Join your OSM facilitators along with a community of peers to take a deep dive into the theory and pedagogy associated with student-centered online teaching and learning, while developing skills and strategies for your personal teaching plan.

As we explore digital pedagogy together, you will simultaneously begin the development of an online course that’s infused with your perspective, passion, and expertise.

Added bonus? You’ll get to experience an online course from the perspective of a student, gaining valuable insight into the opportunities and challenges felt by online students every day.

This is a fully-online, 8-week facilitated course, focused on the fundamentals of online course development and delivery. As a member of the OSM community, you will want to plan for active participation and interaction each week.

OSM participants can expect to spend around 2-3 hours per week completing weekly assignments, collaborating with colleagues, and learning advanced Canvas functionality. New Canvas users may spend additional time learning basic Canvas functionality.

We look forward to exploring with you!
