Similar to what James shared, using RSI as a baseline may support what you are looking for in terms of high impact/good teaching. SUNY has incorporated RSI into the OSCQR rubric.

These courses include four self-paced asynchronous online Microcourses and a four week facilitated online course. Instructors ...

Hi Rachel, We're currently on Moodle but about to migrate to Brightspace. During the height of the pandemic in 2020 we experienced all sorts of problems with the Zoom Moodle plugin. For example, an instructor would start a meeting in Zoom and even though her students would join, it appeared that student ...

Hi Jen, Yes, I should have been clearer. My apologies! Each Microcourse is designed to be completed in 3-5 hours. So, for all four courses the commitment is 12-20 hours. We also encourage instructors to take their time and not rush through them in a couple days. It's probably obvious, but those who ...

Hi Jen, We don't run a boot camp for course refresh (although I love that idea!). We have, however, developed a set of four asynchronous Microcourses, as well as, a 4 week facilitated Capstone course for the purpose of instructor training to teach online. We are an office of two professionals, and we ...

For what it's worth, the contract ID position postings I have seen in private industry pay anywhere from $35-$55 per hour, with ...

RE: Training isn't enough... How do we convince faculty to do more than "pass a check" in making their courses accessible?

Hi Celine, At my institution we use Ally which integrates into the LMS. This makes it easy for faculty to see an accessibility score, and understand what parts of their course are inaccessible and in need of remediation. It also helps that Ally provides links to the "how"; that is, how to make the content ...

Hi Jenna, I appreciate your reply! As we dive deeper into our migration, I may take you up on your offer to meet. Thank you! I think our goal is also to allow faculty to migrate only select courses unless they choose to do the self-serve option for migration. We've been told by D2L that for courses ...

Hi Brian, We've been using Panopto for several years and we're happy with it. We currently do not have it integrated in our LMS (Moodle) but we may head that direction when we migrate to a new LMS (Brightspace) in the summer.
