Getting
Started
In
Online Courses..
Online
courses are delivered via
the World Wide Web and require no face-to-face meetings.
Faculty
who are interested in developing an online course should call the
Office of Online Learning at (201) 200-3449 to schedule an appointment
with an educational technologist. During the initial appointment
(which generally lasts from one to two hours) the educational technologist
will discuss best practices in online pedagogy with the professor
and will provide hands on training in WebCT to assist the faculty
member in transforming his/her course from a face-to-face to an
online format. Subsequent appointments will be scheduled as needed.
WebCT course
shells will be automatically generated for faculty teaching fully
online courses - i.e., courses that have been scheduled by department
chairpersons as online offerings that are coded as "online"
in the Peoplesoft student information system.
In Web-Enhanced
or Blended Courses..
Web-enhanced
courses are face-to-face courses which utilize a web-based
component (e.g., WebCT) to enhance regularly scheduled course meetings.
Blended
courses are courses in which the content is distributed
between online and face-to-face instruction.
Faculty who
are interested in teaching web-enhanced or blended courses should
follow the same procedures noted above to request assistance.
Faculty may
request a WebCT course shell for web-enhanced courses by completing
the WebCT Course
Request Form . Requests should be initiated at least two weeks
prior to the start of the semester. The staff of the Office of Online
Learning will contact faculty with access information once the shell
has been created. Please allow forty-eight hours for course creation.
