WORKSHOP POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Meeting Times – Individual and Group

During the design phase, we will meet for THREE 1 ½ hour sessions. During the development
phase, we will meet for FOUR 1 ½ hour sessions. Participants must attend these required
sessions. These sessions will be a time for sharing ideas and information with other
participants in the workshop. I understand that emergency situations may require a participant
to miss a session. In this case, the participant is responsible for taking the initiative to get back
on track with the rest of the class

Individual sessions can also be scheduled at the request of the participant. The individual
meetings can be held online using Blackboard or face-to-face.

Participation Policy
Please actively participate in the online learning process and complete all Learning Tasks on
time as it is critical to the success of your online course. Keep in mind that the goal is that
once the development process is finished, you will more than likely be 95% finished with your
course. The other 5% is “wiggle room” for you to update and make last minute changes before
the semester begins.

Cheating/Plagiarism Policy
All participants are expected to demonstrate academic integrity as they design their courses.
The definition of academic integrity for this course requires that participants submit their own
work.

For this class, it is permissible to assist co-workers in general discussions of techniques.

General advice and interaction among classmates are encouraged. Participants are welcome
to share ideas, formats, and teaching methods with the consent of their fellow faculty member.

Code of Student Conduct

Each participant is responsible for adhering to the Code of Student Conduct as stated in the
college catalog. All participants are expected to show honesty and integrity in the classroom
including consideration for other participants and the instructor.

On-Going Assessment for Learning Activities

The goal of the workshop is for faculty to develop the skills needed to effectively teach online
or in a blended learning model. For this purpose, we will use the following mastery
assessment scale for all learning tasks:

• 2 points = Learning Activities meets the learning outcomes

• 1 point = Learning Activities are developing towards the learning outcomes
• 0 point = Learning Activities are incomplete

3
The mastery assessment scale was developed through the consultation with and approval by
Moraine Valley faculty who has completed previous iterations of this workshop. The goal
offered through the mastery scale affords participants the opportunity to always meet their
learning outcomes. If a activity does not meet learning outcomes, it will be returned to the
participant for revision until the learning outcome has been achieved.

WORKSHOP FORMAT AND COURSE SCHEDULE

The Instructional Design Learning Series Workshop involves designing for a live online
class. The content that you are creating (format, activities, and assessments) will be of
actual use your online class. We will work on creating the class from start to finish, but
focus on designing the introduction AND the first module of instruction during the Design
component. All workshop modules will follow the following format:

• Introduction of Concept
• Examples of how to apply the concept
• How you currently apply the concept to your face-to-face class
• How you will apply this concept online

At the end of the entire workshop (design and development), you will have completely
developed your entire course.
