 Participate in a faculty learning community
Awardees will attend a meeting with an instructional designer during the spring semester for project consultation. Awardees will also attend a oneweek eLearning Institute during the summer. The week-long training, adapted from the engaging Course Redesign Institute in collaboration with Faculty Development, will demonstrate technology tools for teaching and learning in the digital age, with separate tracks for faculty to specialize in different eLearning topics. Each day of training will alternate between presentations and hands-on working sessions.
Faculty are invited to create technology-supported instructional projects such as:
 Create instructional materials: online modules or a full eText
 Redesign Course for Online or Hybrid Delivery: Replace faceto-face sessions with some or all online components
 Online Technology to Enhance Face-to-Face Course: Flip classroom or create technology supported online or in-class activities

 Tablet Technology to Enhance Face-to-Face Course: Use tablet to create instructional materials and/or design activities to be more engaging
If you are interested in an eLearning project but would like some assistance in figuring out what to do, please contact us at ftc@csun.edu to consult with one of our instructional designers.
The deadline for applying is January 8, 2016. Applicants will be notified in Spring 2016.
