Description & Audience
Are you interested in developing quality blended or online courses, but lack the resources to pay for pre-packaged content or outside support? In this session we highlight an innovative quality control initiative through which graduate students in an online program in instructional technology at the University of West Georgia have served as course reviewers of blended and online courses offered at two schools in Henry County Schools, Georgia. In this session, we will explain the course review model used, discuss how it has evolved based on stakeholder feedback, and share the results of this ground-breaking partnership. The session will conclude with discussion and questions. //Audience//: school administrators, K-12 teachers, teachers of online and/or blended courses, university professors and administrators, and other education professionals
