Continuing Education shall provide training sessions for instructors designing online courses or hybrid courses that contain an online component. Instructors who are developing an online course for the first time must attend training sessions. Experienced instructors, who have already developed online material and are adding new courses or modules to existing online material, should avail themselves of advanced training sessions on new technologies with other instructors who have experience teaching using online methodologies.

Refer to http://www.ulm.edu/ced/faculty/ to access the training schedule, topics, and application for the training sessions.

The Division of Continuing Education will provide every new online faculty developing a course an information packet providing him or her with:

• basic information about on-campus resources including up-coming workshop and technology events,
• the contact numbers and email of support personnel,
• the contact numbers and email for fellow faculty members who can help them overcome difficulties,
• a complete list of faculty teaching distance courses, and
• web addresses for sites of interest.
