Online Faculty Training Course Description: Faculty watch a video orientation before starting the Online Faculty Training Course. The Online Faculty Training course consists of ten self-paced fully online Training Modules, which take approximately 15-20 hours to complete. The ten Training Modules are completed online, with the faculty member enrolled simultaneously in two training course sites: one as a student along with a cohort of other faculty trainees and one as an instructor to demonstrate proficiency in the training objectives. Trainees progress through the self-paced modules with guidance and feedback provided by SDCCD Online Learning Pathways.
For faculty at the SDCCD, this is an opportunity to not only learn the new Blackboard Learn 9.1 tools and features for online instruction, but also to be updated on the latest Distance Education State and Federal regulations. Course Outline (pdf)
