New DOTS Session
28/09/11 08:33
The DePaul Online Teaching Series (DOTS) is a faculty development program that trains and assists faculty to become successful facilitators of online learning. The program has been operating since 2008, and empowers DePaul faculty via an immersive, hands-on training experience. Faculty are introduced to online-learning best practices, innovative use of technology, quality standards for course development across all delivery formats, and are guided through the development of exemplary course sites for online and blended instruction. Numerous Commerce faculty have used the DOTS program to launch highly regarded online and hybrid courses.
The program also provides faculty with:
- Technology Kit that includes a tablet PC or MacBook, web cam, headsets, and software
- Knowledge and skills to facilitate online learning
- Stipend of $500 at beginning of training and $1000 at completion of online/blended course delivery and course review.
- Certificate of Completion with letter of commendation from the Provost
- Course design support from Faculty Instructional Technology Services (FITS)
