This personalized program matches select faculty with an expert Instructional Designer. The purpose of the training is to redesign a course that takes full advantage of best-practice blended delivery. Blended delivery means a combination of face-to-face and online instruction. The program will begin on 10 February and run through 15 May, 2020.

Next, we need you to walk us through the Moodle course shell you’re using currently by recording a demonstration. Ideally, it would be for the course that you want to redesign, however, it is fine if you prefer to walk us through a different course providing it demonstrates your familiarity with the Moodle Learning Management System.
Here are 2 free screen recording tools you can download if you don’t already have something you can use. Please also include an audio narration of your course so we can hear you describe how you’ve set it up, Jing: https://www.techsmith.com/jing-tool.htmlScreencastomatic: https://screencast-o-matic.com/Please upload this video to a file sharing service like Google Drive or Dropbox and submit the link to this video along with your application.
