Course Overview
The transition from in-classroom instruction to online instruction is a complex one involving specialized training in the technical aspects of delivering quality learning environment to the students and specialized training in how to foster the students’ engagement within this new environment. Three schools of thoughts have been widely used and explored to provide guidance for instructional practice: behaviourism, cognitive psychology and constructivism. However of the three, constructivism has been identified as the most suitable one for online learning environment. Without proper pedagogical training and online experience, teachers will continue to replicate their best existing practices on to the online medium. This divergence between what works in the traditional classroom within stable cohort of learners communicating synchronously F2F is qualitatively different from an online asynchronous one. The course will enable you to design and execute your teaching in an online environment effectively based on constructivism strategies which will foster the students’ engagements. This course shall be useful for teachers, trainers, and all persons interested in design and delivery of instruction in an online mode effectively with constructivist perspective.

The Faculty Quick Start Guide is an outcome of a project by ISKME, supported by a grant from the Michelson 20MM Foundation, to conduct a study and develop a set of resources to accelerate OER use for distance education, especially the urgent shift to remote learning during the pandemic in 2020. The Guide, created in collaboration with a selection of OER and online education champions across California community colleges (CCC), contains:

- Models and approaches to online learning, and to emergency remote learning in the context of COVID-19;
- How and to what extent OER fits into these models, and local and state-level supports needed for its integration and sustainability;
- Design considerations for integrating OER in online learning, including pedagogical and platform considerations;
- Curatorial practices, such as using OER curation tools and aligning curated OER to learning outcomes; and,
- Starting points and tips for colleges and faculty who want to initiate OER integration into distance education.

Tailored to faculty and campus administrators both in California and beyond, the Guide has the aim is to enable system-wide shifts to meet postsecondary institutions’ long term goals for distance learning, and faculty’s emergency plans for remote learning in response to the COVID-19 and potential future crises.

The Guide is also available as a PDF for download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17AXs30dZeLOrGeNBQ-ISc_OJXIxE9xtB/view?usp=sharing.
