Faculty Development

Welcome to ITLE Faculty Development Department. We are here to assist early career faculty as they become a successful member of the professoriate, as well as facilitating "life-long learning" of our established faculty. We offer a variety of opportunities, ranging from professional development workshops and conferences, certificate programs, online course creation, technology training, grants, new faculty orientation, to individualized one-on-one consultation.

Professional Development Workshops and Events

We identify and recruit exceptional faculty with demonstrated excellence in one or more aspects related to teaching & learning, pedagogy, and professional development to deliver the workshops and events. The opportunities help faculty enhance instructional effectiveness and establish collegial relations with faculty peers. See current and past events.

Preparing Online Instructors (POI) and Online Course Creation Workshop (OCCW)

These two programs were devised to keep faculty current with the latest trends in online instruction. The POI is an eight-week, online certificate program, while OCCW is a week-long, face-to-face training seminar in summer  through the joint effort of a group of faculty members, librarians, and ITLE professionals. Ultimately, these programs help faculty create online courses which serve as a protocol for OSU’s distance education.

Instructional Design Consultation and Course Assessment

An experienced instructional designer is available to assist faculty with issues related to teaching and curricular development such as selecting instructional strategies and developing instructional materials. The instructional designer consults with faculty in one-on-one or small groups to provide individualized assistance. The instructional designer can also perform course observations and midterm student evaluations for the instructor.

Technology Training and Seminars

We provide face to face training and seminars in instructional technologies such as Turnitin, PowerPoint, podcasting, Flash, Dreamweaver, HTML, Camtasia, Respondus, webcams, and more.

Online Classroom (or Desire2Learn at OSU)

Each month, we offer an array of learning sessions dealing with Online Classroom. From an introduction session to sessions dealing with specific feature such as the grade book, liveroom, chat, online quizzes, or the lockdown browser, these hands-on sessions will help you learn about and become comfortable with Online Classroom. We also provide "one-on-one" sessions dealing with your questions and needs.
