Instructors who complete the CLT’s Faculty Orientation to Online Learning gain basic familiarity with theoretical and practical aspects of designing an online course, starting from either the adaptation of a traditional course or the creation of an entirely new one, as well as with the resources available to them at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. The series covers three basic skill areas–Content Development, Interaction, and Technology–and progresses through six face-to-face sessions supplemented with online content and interaction. Each of these sessions, scheduled every two weeks, provides guided, hands-on practice and consultation opportunities to develop a fully online course.
