So, today I decide to go back in and post some more in my learning log. Unfortunately for me, I have too many passwords rattling around in my brain, and forgot the one for this site. Easy fix, but frustrating!
Anyway, summer term at UMUC starts in one week. I am taking three classes and have already gone online to print out the syllabus for each class, mark due dates on the calendar, and generally get a feel for what is going on in each class.
DETT 607 Instructional Design and Course Development in Distance Education. I have been looking at this class with longing for the past year--it is the "meat" of what I am interested in regarding distance education.
OMDE 610 Teaching and Learning on Line in Distance Education. This too is a greatly anticipated class. One of my first career steps in the field of distance education is to BE a DE teacher online. I have applied to teach EDCP (Introductory courses) for UMUC, however don't have my Masters yet and will probably not get the job this year. I am not easily discouraged and will find some institution that will allow me to teach something online.
DETT 615 Assessment and Quality Assurance in Distance Education. Yes, I am a nerd and I love it. Very much looking forward to this course. Two of my main frustrations with my previous life as a corporate trainer was quality and measurable outcomes. This is a fairly new course in the OMDE program, and should prove to be extremely valuable in the future.
I will be posting my musings regarding these classes throughout the summer in the hopes of gathering thoughts that will be helpful with my capstone course OMDE 670--which I will take in the fall.
Oh--lunch time, bye!
