The idea of an online faculty-development course in the fundamentals of online course design has been germinating in my mind for years. Finally, this summer, it became a reality. Visit my portfolio for a few samples from this 7-week course.

I am grateful to OFDTE for giving me the space to create and teach FDEV-1, Foundations of Online Course Design, and to my six pilot participants who are hanging in there with me through gap analyses, course development plans, the development of three modules, and 360-degree evaluations.
