I have taught for a number of years online. Are you interested in developing a course for a live online class or a Blackboard type platform?

Professional Development for Online Instructors

Hello! I will be working on a new professional development program that will offer CE courses for online instructors. I would love to get some input from other online instructors about what they think is important in the training of new online teachers and topics that would be of interest to more experienced online teachers. Does anyone have some ideas?

Hi Pat, Boy, I sure agree with you! It does take some new skills to teach online. Many of the instructors we will be working with have taught in the classroom but are new to online instruction. Kathy

Hi Mandy, Thank you for referring me to Nlowell's post and the conversation that you had there. He did have some good ideas. It sounded like his courses would be for teachers who are learning how to integrate technology into their instruction.…

For online professional development you could take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.

I focus on volunteer involvement in non-school tutor/mentor programs reaching kids in high poverty neighborhoods. On http://www.tutormentorconnection.org I post my own ideas, plus links to information, articles, forums, etc. that people can use to help build more and better tutor/mentor programs, and to help volunteers and kids succeed in these programs.

The people I'm trying to educate are not just the kids, but the adults who need to be more consistently involved, with time, talent and dollars, to help kids have the age-appropriate resources needed. This aims at expanding the "public will" that is missing to fund these types of activities in all the places where they are needed.

I'm trying to connect with universities and curriculum development people who might apply their talents to helping educate this adult population. If you know folks who already do this, or phd students who might want to make this their career, please connect us.
