Designing Professional Development MOOC For Community College Computing Faculty: LighthouseCC MOOC [CL]

• In Event: DDL - Professional Development & Adult Education

Short Description

While computing (CS) occupations increasingly dominate the workforce, the discipline fails to attract sufficient and diverse students (i.e., women, underrepresented minorities) to meet workforce needs. To address this issue, Lighthouse projects provide CS instructors in community college (CC) with professional development (PD) MOOCs. In this paper, we present how a PD MOOC has been designed with relevant instructional design principles and theories to suit CC CS instructors’ learning needs.
