Professional Development
The program is scheduled for two delivery methods each year and takes approximately 30 – 35 hours to complete. A week-long boot camp style session in May and a separate, your-paced, online version are offered. Completion of the program and capstone project earns instructors NMC’s Online Teaching Certificate and makes faculty eligible to teach online courses. Adjuncts completing the program and a capstone project are eligible for a $400 stipend.
Work in concert with the entire Educational Technology team throughout a semester to build a new, high quality, engaging, and interactive online course. Submit the Online Course Development Form for development cycles beginning in May or November.
Participate in a multi-discipline cohort of faculty members to review, modify, adapt, and improve an existing online course. Learn about current educational technology and best practices used to reach online learners.

Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes are the primary skills, behaviors, abilities, expertise, and proficiencies the learner will “own” at the end of the course. While the learner will need a certain level of knowledge or information in order to achieve the outcome, the emphasis in identifying the outcomes is on what the learner will be able to do with that knowledge or information at the end of the course that they couldn’t do before.
