myCourses Training
In order for faculty members to receive access to a myCourses course site,
they must first successfully complete the myCourses Online Teaching & Learning Strategies Course. This 2-week
course, which is conducted online with two face-to-face meetings, takes place
several times throughout the year. The course requires a 5-6 hour time commitment
per week from faculty, an optional one hour start-up meeting before the class
begins to receive user names and passwords and a two hour meeting in the second
week of the course for a hands-on lesson in creating course content. The policy
of the Instructional Development (ID) team at CITS is that each faculty member
must participate actively in the training course and learn to be a self-sufficient
user of myCourses before receiving course sites for class use. If a faculty
member is not participating in the class, the ID Team reserves the right to
remove the individual from the training course and to deny access to the
myCourses learning management systems.
