The idea is to offer training to improve online teaching and course design. Their model was an 8 week course (2 hour sessions, once a week for 8 weeks) to cover such goals as Instructional Design Model, LMS Training, Web 2.0, Communication, Learning Modules that work, Assessing Learning, Assessing Courses, Best/Worst practice, etc... They are exploring moving the whole training online.
Faculty at the college developed the checklist used and the instructional design criteria. This has proved rather helpful. The document is available on their website. Might be something we could use as we evaluate different course evaluation tools.
The other passing thought that was mentioned was using Project Management Software in the course development process. I've never really used project management software, but maybe there would be some benefits?
