WELCOME BACK! What a whirlwind of a Summer we all have had! In fact, it seems like I haven't even had a summer and it's still March! I'm sure some of you feel the same way and I know this semester isn't ideal, but, we have so much to be thankful for. I have been in awe of the great teamwork we have at Heartland - everyone - has been exceptional and gone above and beyond to ensure our students received the best quality of learning possible. Thank you for your dedication and for going the extra mile for our students.
This semester, while we are mostly all online, I'm going to be providing a variety of workshop opportunities to help you keep that quality in your online courses. Nearly 90% of all of our faculty, including our adjunct population, has been certified to teach online through Heartland - almost all of you! That was an amazing feat and so, I know that all of you have the principles of instructional design under your belt and feel comfortable with course maps, universal design for learning, instructor presence, authentic assessments through active learning and accessibility...so now, we are going to build even further on these founding principles this semester and focus on tools that will enhance your instruction. Take a look at the wide variety of opportunities available (download complete schedule below image):
All of these workshop opportunities are available via Zoom by joining me at https://heartland.zoom.us/my/acatterson.
I look forward to work with you this semester! Please reach out if you have questions about course design or Canvas, always willing to help support. It's going to be a great semester!
Take care and see you soon,
Anna
