Due to the largenumber of faculty members who have completed this training, throughout 2009, 26 new courses weredeveloped during 2009 in an online format. This is a 38% increase over the previous year.Hybrid/blended courses are becoming increasingly popular as faculty utilize the Internet and other formsof technology to augment their lectures and supplemental course materials. In addition to the opportunityfor SFCC students to achieve an Associate in Arts degree entirely online, many of our Associate inScience degree, Associate in Applied Science degree, and certificate programs may also be achievedthrough online courses. This allows many stakeholders in our community to continue their education in amore flexible environment.Faculty interested in using instructional technology may receive training in best practices of deliveringeLearning courses. The eLearning department provides faculty with a series of online, group, and oneon-onetraining sessions on a variety of topics related to instructional technology, androgogy andeLearning. These training programs have been developed to address various levels of faculty competencywhen integrating technology into courses. Master course development policies and procedures have beendeveloped for all eLearning courses and include content mapping to student learning outcomes asindicated by the eLearning Handbook. The course master is designed by a trained faculty member andreviewed by a technology review team as well as a course review team. This course review team includesa faculty member (appointed by the instructional supervisor) as a subject matter expert partnering withan instructional technologist and other experts as the curriculum demands to review the course forquality content and design.
