Remembering the “Online Teacher Certificate Program”  (http://ecourse.sl.on.ca/OT/ot1.htm). We were so ahead of our time! This article talks about the SLOAN-C Conference and some of today’s faculty development models for preparing faculty to teach online:
I think our model was excellent. It was entirely online and faculty devoted a lot of time to completing the program. The spin off of the “Online Teacher Program” were two similar programs where faculty were off-loaded and we worked as a cohort in a blended learning environment. The best part was that the program was sustainable in that the skills and experiences, which faculty developed as a part of the program, are still being used today. We had fun, too!
