Coming Full circle

At this time last year, I had just accepted a job in the curriculum development department at Cuyahoga Community College. One of the first responsibilities I was given we to give in person training sessions on the curriculum development software we use, and to create video training, as well. Although I had experience teaching as an adjunct, I had little experience with learning how to teach well. The training I had was limited to an active learning faculty group that I belonged to the year prior to accepting this position.

Since then, I was lucky enough to be accepted to the ISLT program at Florida State. Although it has only been (almost) two semesters, I feel like I have a much better grasp on designing training than I did last year. I am currently revisiting my training materials that I created last summer, and I am feeling so inspired to improve them and give a much better training this fall!

  1. That is amazing! I bet they will continue to improve each year as well.

  2. Were you teaching online courses, or face-to-face? I have yet to teach an online course, and I really feel that EME 6414 has helped in my preparation for that inevitable day! Next semester I plan to build embed Web 2.0 assignments into the course to give me practice teaching in this method, but seeing the students face-to-face will also provide me with the opportunity for a class discussion to help me gauge the effectiveness of the embedded component(s).
