Instructionally-Sound Strategies for Faculty Workload Reduction in Online Courses: Getting Some Shuteye Revisited

• In Event: DDL - Program Development

Short Description

Faculty are a key component of any effectively facilitated online course, but they often feel overwhelmed by the workload. In this session, we will describe instructionally-sound “workload reduction” strategies that faculty teaching online courses may use to be more selective and purposeful about their time and energy. We will share our experiences with these strategies. Finally, we will talk with the audience about their workload challenges, and collaborate as a group on strategies for addressing those challenges. Audience: faculty, eLearning designers and specialists, instructional designers/technologists.
