Landmark GCSU Faculty & Teaching Staff Learning Event: Designing Your Online Course (DYOC) & Improving Your Online Course (IYOC) 

Are you teaching online this summer and need support developing your course for the first time or improving upon an already-developed course? If so, the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is excited to announce the launch of two (2) new courses, Designing Your Online Course (DYOC) and Improving Your Online Course (IYOC), offered through Quality Matters (QM) for the first time ever at GCSU!  

Held in CTL's Learning Space, hosted by CTL and facilitated by Simeco Vinson, Ph.D., completing either of these face-to-face courses leads to a QM certification. And we have designed a schedule for these courses that may fit your varying teaching schedules.  

Nationally recognized, Quality Matters is the global organization leading quality assurance in online and innovative digital teaching and learning environments. It provides a scalable quality assurance system for online and blended learning within and across organizations. QM designed the professional development to help educators deliver the promise of quality online learning opportunities to every level of learning. 

The DYOC & IYOC will be offered over two (2) days for three (3) hours each session from 10 am to 1 pm. Here are the dates:  

• DYOC - March 20 & 22 OR March 21 & 23 
• IYOC - March 27 & 29 OR March 28 & 30 

You must complete both three (3) hour segments to receive your QM certification.  

I hope you can join us for the launch of this landmark GCSU learning event!
