Project Background and Acknowledgements

Teaching Online: A Portable Online Workshop for Faculty and Staff Development

Funding for guest lecturers, expert reviewers, the project pilot, and project dissemination was provided by the UW-Extension Cross Divisional Grant in 2005-06. Funding for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning module was provided by UW Sytem Office of Professional and Instrutional Development Conference Development Grant. Additional funding for design, production, and editing was provided by the Office of Outreach and E-Learning Extension. The project was a collaboration between UW Learning Innovations (Outreach and E-Learning) and Cooperative Extension Technology Services in cooperation with content providers and experts from many campuses in UW System.

The funding provided an opportunity to design, create, evaluate, and disseminate a portable training tool that promotes best practices in online teaching and learning. The completed training tool is housed as a course in the UWEX instance of Desire2Learn and will is available for distribution to instances of D2L within UW System.
