Semester-long Consultation
Elizabeth Park and a faculty member can collaborate through the stages of transforming a course to a new teaching modality. An initial meeting and possibly two to five additional meetings as touch points will be used to guide faculty through the design process which include things to consider, syllabus, goals and lesson objectives, feedback and assessment, teaching and learning activities, and assembling the components into a coherent whole. Requests or needs are typically identified two or more months prior to the start of the semester.
Intensive Course Designs / Redesigns
Elizabeth Park and a faculty member work together throughout the design, development, and delivery of a course with many touchpoints across the duration of the process both via asynchronous communications and meetings. For requests made one semester in advance.
Course Review
Penn State has created and utilized the Penn State Quality Assurance e-Learning Design Standards for many years in order to provide a measure of quality for courses serving the e-learning needs of Penn State students. These standards are based upon the Quality Matters Rubric for which Penn State is a subscribing member of the Quality Matters Organization. Elizabeth Park can either facilitate a peer review of your course or assist with a self-check of your course.
