During the 2020-2021 academic year, we will continue to offer our semester-long Designing Your Online Courses (DOC) Program that will flexibly meet our faculty’s needs. Some of this program will be adapted/changed to meet the needs of remote instruction for Fall 2020. We will also encourage any faculty who have taken our previously QA-funded Hybrid Development Program and Online Development Program to go through an informal peer-review process and/or take QM's Improving Your Online Course (IYOC) to prepare for possible formal QM certification. Our goal is to get 5 courses through formal QM certification each year. Finally, we hope to get additional CETL staff certified to facilitate QM's IYOC workshop to scale this offering on campus.

Major QA Accomplishments

• CETL launched an Alt-Instruction Certificate program that leveraged past TECH and Teaching Project workshops. We migrated many Canvas workshops into self-paced modules. We also developed a “Low Bandwidth Teaching” webinar that addressed equity issues when pivoting to remote instruction. Since Summer 2020, almost 750 faculty have taken this webinar.

• Over Summer 2020, 612 faculty completed the Alt-Instruction certificate that required completion of 6 or more Alt-Instruction workshops plus submission of an artifact (e.g., Transparent Assignment, Student-Centered Syllabus, etc.) for their Fall 2020 course. Another 981 faculty completed the 6+ workshops and received a Summer Institute Proof of Completion certificate.

• Since July 1, 2020, CETL staff have assisted faculty in 3,047 virtual support calls to assist with Canvas, Zoom, or other academic technology tools for their remote instruction courses. We estimate that we have assisted over 600 distinct faculty in these virtual support calls.

• CETL developed a Remote Instruction Checklist, based on QM’s Emergency Remote Instruction (ERI) Checklist. This has been shared in all recent programming as a checklist to assist faculty as they continue teaching remote.
