For faculty that would like a high contact, structured experience where an instructional designer will collaborate on working through each milestone. Requires one full semester, i.e. fall start for spring delivery
For faculty that would like to collaborate with an Instructional Designer on the general outline and initial concepts for a course, followed by the Instructional Designer providing feedback on the final product.
For faculty that would like to collaborate with an Instructional Designer on the general outline and initial course concepts. This would primarily be conversational brainstorming on the best methods and tools to achieve the instructional goals.
Sometimes things change. Whether it is evolutions in the concepts you teach, the teaching theory you use, or the technology that supports you, it may be time to update an asynchronous online course. This option is for faculty that want to review their asynchronous online course with an instructional designer to collaborate as to what updates and/or changes should be considered.
Requires, at minimum, 4 weeks.
For faculty who have developed asynchronous online courses and would like one or more of their courses reviewed by an instructional designer. The instructional design team uses a version of the Open SUNY Course Quality Rubric (OSCQR) Written feedback using the rubric will be provided to faculty.
Requires, at minimum, one full semester prior to offering
For faculty who would like to collaborate with an instructional designer in creating a hybrid course. Discussion would cover topics such as the mix of face-to-face interactions and asynchronous interactions, brainstorming best methods and tools to achieve the instructional goals.
A hybrid course is one in which Web-based learning activities are used to complement in class work, while reducing "seat time." A more comprehensive description and the full hybrid course policy is available in section 6 of the Faculty and Staff Handbook.
Requires, at minimum, one full semester prior to offering
For faculty who would like to explore the options of creating a hyflex course. A hyflex course includes the following:
According to Open SUNY Online Learning Data Definitions, a hyflex course as one that “combines online and face-to-face instruction simultaneously into one single course section, with the mode of direct instruction determined by each individual student. Students are able to choose how to participate in any given class meeting—online or face-to-face”
This modality is not currently a SUNY Oswego-approved modality. However, it has been piloted by several faculty. Faculty are encouraged to discuss the appropriateness of a course offering in this modality with their department chair.
Example topics include:
The Instructional Design team continually works to create and/or collect up-to-date materials regarding instructional theories, practices, and tools that support faculty in creating asynchronous online learning experiences that engage students. During the Fall 23 semester, many of these documents will become available in the TeamDynamix Knowledge Base. Examples of coming documents and resources include:
