The Quality Online Teaching (QOT) program provides the knowledge and skills required for faculty members to design and develop their face-to-face and online courses. It includes four 1-hour sessions and is required for all faculty.
QOT 1: Canvas Fundamentals– Canvas Fundamentals provides an overview of The Citadel’s Learning Management System. It teaches participants how to create flow within a course by organizing and structuring content with the Modules tool. Participants will explore the types of content that can be added to modules to enhance student learning.
QOT 2: Best Practices in Teaching Online– Best Practice in Teaching Online is an interactive training session that illustrates theoretical models, best practices, and practical strategies for online course design and instruction. After engaging in a discussion of instructional design principles, participants review the Citadel Online review standards. Interactions with the facilitators and participants provide opportunities for faculty to evaluate their courses, design activities for developing online communities for learners, and reflect on their goals for future online courses.
QOT 3: Best Practices in Curriculum Mapping– Curriculum Mapping, Alignment, and Using the Parity Table is an interactive training session that focuses on aligning course objectives, activities, and assessments using the Citadel parity table. After reviewing the alignment principle and reflecting on their own course design, participants will practice using the Citadel parity table to map course curriculum.
QOT 4: Best Practices in Assessments and Grading– Best Practices in Assessments provides an overview of theoretical models and practical strategies for assessment in online courses. After engaging in a discussion of online assessment practices, participants will discuss ways to align assessments with course and module objectives. The interface of the Canvas gradebook will also be explored from the instructor and student perspectives. Participants will experience SpeedGrader and how it can be used to provide timely and detailed feedback for students while making the grading process more efficient and enjoyable.
