Center for Online Learning Workshops

Module-making camp is a 2.5-day event on building or refreshing your hybrid or online courses. We will work intensively to support you as you design one online learning module for a course that you will be teaching. We ask that you to set aside the time to attend all the sessions, complete the creation of an online module at the end and present it to your colleagues. Participants who attend all sessions and build a module will receive a stipend.

A learning module is a collection of subject-related teaching materials that is carefully sequenced and chunked. In addition to course content, modules contain learning outcomes, directions for use, learning activities and ways to ascertain whether students have understood the material. Learning modules are the building blocks of hybrid and online courses and usually contain one week’s worth of work for students to complete.

Times and Presentations

In this adaptation of module-making camp, participants will build an orientation or welcome module for their students. With these “week-zero” materials and activities, students can learn course information or begin to introduce themselves to each other and the instructor before the first day of class. This allows the instructor to begin the first day of class with a focus on course content and helps students better understand the goals and structure of the course. The camp is 2.5 days long and includes time for individualized support and for hands-on work with tools such as VoiceThread and Padlet and skills such as preparing students for hybrid/online courses, recording a welcome video, designing ice-break activities and creating plans to communicate and interact with students. At the end of the camp, participants will be required to create and present the materials and activities in the week-zero module for an online course that they may teach in the future. Participants who attend all sessions and build a module will receive a stipend.

Times and Presentations

Faculty working groups are cohorts of instructors who meet together to develop their online or hybrid syllabi and activities for Fall 2020 or Spring 2021. Each group will have a different teaching focus and be led by experienced Hunter faculty who will help participants share ideas, problem-solve, and support one another through their syllabus design process. Groups will meet online at least four different times with meetings including a mixture of whole-group discussion, individual consultation, individual work time, and whole-group presentations. At the end of the last group meeting, participants will share their course syllabus and some of the activities they created. Participants who attend all sessions, complete their course syllabus, and present to the group will receive a stipend.

Group topics, times, and registration information are listed in the table below. Please register for the group that you wish to attend. After registration, you will receive details about how to join us.
