Event: FTEP "How to Create Community in Online Courses?"

Creating an online community
CU's Faculty Teaching Excellence Program has an upcoming presentation that could be of interest to those of you preoccupied with the task of creating a sense of community in the online environment.

On Thursday, September 27th from 3:30-4:30pm (ATLAS 200), Sam Gill, Professor and Associate Chair of Religious Studies will address a very important question in online teaching: How can online courses be developed and presented so that everyone feels some personal connection? This ‘how to’ presentation will offer a number of examples and techniques that help to create community and even take advantage of the distance among participants. Faculty should bring their own laptops for use during this workshop. MAC laptops will be available for those faculty who would like to borrow one.

    Is there anyway this could be recorded and posted for those of us that can not make the class?

    Hi Michael,
    I do not believe that the FTEP records their presentations/workshops. However, there are a lot of recorded presentations from a series that was held at CU this last summer. Many of the sessions were on online education and there may be something of a similar feel to this one from FTEP: http://events.mediasite.com/Mediasite/Catalog/Full/89327f30193643f4ba1b8cfcc310cdc021/?state=qfFwAlNHgtQpBD7jpUpv
