ORIGINAL ANNOUNCEMENT SENT TO ALL FACULTY
----- BEGIN INSERT ------
The University of Miami is developing new on-line courses and degrees that will be offered this year. What do on-line courses look like? What is it like to teach on-line? What does it take to develop an on-line course?
The Provost's Office invites all University of Miami faculty to an On-Line Education Open House. At this session, Laureate Education, Inc. will demonstrate the design and features of some of the online courses that they have developed. This should answer many of your questions and give you a preview of what University of Miami on-line courses could look like. Laureate representatives will discuss:
- Various on-line classroom styles, approaches to content, organizations, and features
- Various types of media that can be used in on-line classrooms such as videos, simulations, and interactive media
- Course activities that challenge and engage online students
- Current technologies for Student Identity Verification, industry standards and what Laureate is investigating and piloting in this area
The open-house sessions will run three times on April 16th to maximize the number of people who can attend. Space is limited, so if you plan to attend, please register.
When Wednesday April 16, 2014 from 9:30am to 11:00am, 11:30am to 1:00pm, and 2:30pm to 4:00pm (Each session will be a repeat of the same presentation)
