CTE MyHelp Ticket System

It’s a new year and with it comes changes in the CTE. What hasn’t changed is the CTE’s goal of meeting the professional development needs of faculty in a timely manner. To assist us with this goal, we have adopted the MyHelp ticket system! This new system will replace our previous Teaching Services Request form.

Resources

Getting Started Teaching Online Courses (GSTOC)

The CTE is offering multiple sessions of the GSTOC program for faculty to receive the training required to teach online. Each session includes 3 self-paced modules followed by a requisite Design Practicum (DP). The Self-paced learning modules provide the framework for designing a quality online course. The Design Practicum (DP) is an integral element where each faculty member is assigned an instructional designer who supports the faculty member’s design and development of one online learning module.



Improving Your Online Course Program (IYOC)

Develop a course improvement plan to enhance your previously-taught online course (required) based on national course design standards and proven instructional design principles.
