| G-12: WebCT Online Training: A Three-Step Model | |||
| Detailed Description: | Faculty come to WebCT training with differing levels of technical knowledge, intentions, and many questions. At JHU, the model for training is a three-step, fully-online complement to our in-person training and contains: Orientation to WebCT, Requesting a Course Site, and Building your Course. Training is designed to be “just-in-time” while also allowing for the varied pace of users. It encourages faculty to work through training at the same time they are building their own courses. | ||

| Abstract Text: | When developing WebCT training for faculty, it's important to start with the faculty-members' needs. Johns Hopkins WebCT Online Training has been developed to address three specific faculty issues. -Faculty are usually too busy to attend eight hours of training -Training is usually too broad to meet the specific needs of faculty, and -Multi-divisional training and support is needed for a decentralized institution like Hopkins To meet these needs, the online training was organized to: -be self-paced -modular (focused on specific tools) -contain relevant and timely activities -suggest relevant pedagogy, and WebCT best practices. | ||
