Pedagogical considerations
For each delivery mode, there are
pedagogical considerations to be made
with regard to content delivery,
interactivity, and assessment.
The UWMLTC faculty development
program and pedagogical consultations
with our team guide instructors in
making decisions about these
considerations.

Six main outcomes are highlighted as central to the faculty development program. First, faculty start with concrete development of both broad-perspective elements of their new course, such as a course redesign plan and a syllabus, and the development of more specific features of the course such as learning modules. This is especially appropriate in disciplines or areas where “learning modules” are not typically the unit of course redesign, thus requiring faculty to re-examine their conceptual basis for instruction from the bottom up. Second, faculty must acquire new teaching skills and knowledge appropriate to a blended learning frame, such as how to facilitate a peer learning community both face-to-face and online, and how to assess student learning in a manner that is quite distinct from the usual “three exams and a term paper” of a traditional face-to-face course. In the latter context, it is important to note that faculty are often committed to the use of summative assessments such as exams and term papers without ever having questioned previously their efficacy. The prospect of a blended course redesign thus holds out the possibility of a paradigm shift from modes of instruction that once seemed satisfactory to a model of teaching and learning that problematizes everything that has once been taken for granted. This is a source of considerable skepticism and anxiety for faculty who have been teaching for many years in a more traditional manner, often unreflectively.
GOAL: UWM will lead the state in MOOC delivery.The means to do this will be built off of the knowledge of blended and online faculty development and course design, upace model, and flex programming.
We need a way for students to self register (username, password), self-enroll, and potentially pay for courses or assessmentsWe need to encourage Lorna Wong, UW Systems, Learn@UW Exec Committee, Common Systems, etc., to make sure our new D2L contract and technologies facilities MOOCs, users that are not UWM students – future UWM students. Further, what is the load on d2L? Efforts need to be harnessed to explore.Oracle has a solution as well (CUNY, Long State CC) price tag starting at $100,000We also could develop a D2L LTI integration for facebook possibly…mobile developers initiative…UWM needs more programming development initiatives that re entreprenuerial and innovative AND interdipsclinary
