COLP Professional Development Institutes
Because of the rapid growth of Online education, the quality of trained online instructor has become very inconsistent. Comprehensive training of online instructors is important so that they understand the variables that have impact on teaching in an online environment and online students success. The Southern University System (SUS) Professional Development Institutes (-PDI) constitute one of the Office of Online Learning Services (SUS-OOLS) Goals 2018/2019 to design and deliver expert professional development certifications that can lead to the development of online course inventories, building blocks for quality online programs.
The PDI targets faculty affiliated with the SUS college campuses. It intends to support SU colleges and units as they strive to take ownership of their online program offerings.
Instructors will receive Digital Credentials, as a form of badges, upon successful completion of each workshop that is tied to evidence that supports their mastery of each teaching competency.
