In an effort to improve and expand Distance Learning, NJIT has continued our membership in the “Sloan-C College Pass” program for calendar year 2008. Funded by Distance Learning fees, this membership includes enrollments in a variety of 2 to 4 week, on-line workshops in a broad variety of subjects. Sloan-C College Pass Workshops are available FREE to NJIT faculty and instructional staff through December of 2008. Anyone who enrolls and participates in one of the interactive on-line workshops through the remainder of this academic year will be entered into a drawing for a 16 GB iPod TouchWorkshops scheduled for February and March include:
Pedagogy And New Learning Environments - Teaching and learning have vastly changed due to emerging technologies. Personalization, collaborative learning, and social software have produced and introduced perhaps a new paradigm. - January 30 – February 8
Technology Bootcamp- Technology Bootcamp is a 4-week crash course for new cadets who seek to acquire new skills, or perhaps brush-up on old ones prior to the conference. As online educators, mastery of new technologies can help you stay ahead of the curve. - February 6 – March 7
Finding Evidence of Quality in Distance Education: Community College Exemplars - This workshop uses a series of illustrative case studies to describe the particularly effective practices of a small selection of community colleges and discusses a variety of possible strategies for institutions seeking to meet emerging accreditation standards for distance education programs. - February 6 - February 15
Using the Quality Matters Rubric to Improve Your Online Course - Recognizing quality is much like recognizing art – you know it when you see it, but everybody sees something different. And when it comes to online courses, your students, faculty, administrators, peers, and accrediting bodies may certainly not see what you do. In fact, they might not even know what to look for in assessing quality. - February 20 - March 14
