Teachers learn best from one another because the most professionally influential person to any teacher is another teacher.
The seminar begins with an orientation and introductory activities at 4pm Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) on Friday, October 20 and ends at 4pm MDT on Saturday, October 21. Please adjust the Seminar Schedule to match YOUR time zone.
This Great Online Teaching Seminar (GOTS) is specifically for college/university faculty, whether full- or part-time, who teach courses completely online OR who use online learning tools to support their students in face-to-face, hybrid, blended, or flex settings.
GOTS is purposefully designed to be a highly interactive, reinvigorating event, bringing teachers together from diverse disciplines and institutions. Participants share and explore successful teaching/learning methods, strategies, techniques, and innovations, seek solutions to their own problems/challenges in online education, and much more.
Energized by the spirit of the National Great Teachers Movement (founded in 1969), GOTS is based on the powerfully simple philosophy that "properly facilitated shoptalk" is one of the highest forms of professional development. No individual "expert" of any stature or fame can match tapping into the collective knowledge, experience, wisdom, creativity, and genius of any group of teachers actively involved in their profession.
Participants are the "experts" at the seminar, making GOTS a professional learning experience FOR YOU, BY YOU!
Seminar staff will provide structure and guidelines to help ensure effective use of discussion time, but YOU and the other participants will decide which issues are most important and relevant to discuss. Together, we will pursue a quest for the ideal of the "great teacher."
Enrollment is limited to ensure a high-quality, personalized seminar.
