Training Future EMTs Online While Covering Traditional College Curricula
4/15/2004
Using a homegrown "(Almost) Painless Course Design" tool, support staff is able to help faculty define their learners, learning outcomes, and target instructional methods to meet their teaching and learning goals. "WebCT 101" gives faculty the experience of being an online student as they learn how to use the campus learning management system and related tools. The use of these tools is supported by large-group and one-on-one training and development sessions with course development support staff.Like many institutions, LCSC faces challenges in terms of infrastructure and facilities scheduling for classes. Currently less than 10 percent of LCSC's online learning objects support hybrid (blended) courses. The college is anticipating great expansion in this area in the next three years and will apply the same solid principles to redesigning courses as hybrids that have succeeded so well in its solely online courses.
