Money, Fun and New Teaching Skills
he due date for proposals for our upcoming spring Hybrid Faculty Learning Community has been extended to Monday, January 22nd.
The Center for Teaching and Learning will provide $1,250 in professional development fundsto instructors who fully participate in the Spring Hybrid Faculty Learning Community in Spring 2018 and redesign an established Corvallis campus course as a hybrid course that will be offered for the first time as a hybrid in Summer or Fall 2018 or Winter 2019. If a team develops a course, the $1,250 will be equally split among team members. Preference will be given for large-enrollment Bacc Core courses, though all proposals will be considered.
Hybrid courses designed through the Hybrid Professional Learning Community will serve on-site students, and adhere to the regular on-campus (not Ecampus) tuition structure. It is anticipated that each new hybrid section will replace an existing fully classroom-based section and be offered at least once a year.
The learning community will blend 5 face-to-face meetings with online activities. Meetings will be Weds., 2:00-3:30 p.m., on Apr. 11 and 25, May 9 and 23, and June 6. Instructors and tenured/tenure-track faculty in at least their second year of teaching at OSU are eligible to participate.
The proposal guidelines are attached.
