Which would you rather have? A great teacher with no industry experience? Or a solid industry expert with no teaching experience? At our top-five public university, we'll take
the industry expert with that 423-page PPT every single time. Think about it - who would you take?
You know the drill: here is my 423-page PPT. Now just turn it into a course,” so says the optimistic industry rockstar SME before asking the ID, “And, can you do it by Monday?”
Many industry rockstars are hired as adjunct teachers and as subject matter experts. It's true they have the industry experience to be "experts," but what about the teaching experience? And, what about experience in developing engaging higher-ed courses? Well, the truth is most of our SMEs are experts in their field, but not in teaching or course development. Which would you rather have? A great teacher with no industry experience? Or a solid industry expert with no teaching experience?
At our top-five public university, we'll take the industry expert with that 423-page PPT every single time. Why? Because we have a well-defined, collaborative process used to coach them on course development, plus we design our courses to meet or exceed QM standards. So when our courses are both quality assured and QM certified, teaching is the easy part. In this session, we'll present information on a top-five public university's course development process and learn how our multi-member ID team uses it as they onboard
SMEs for new builds. We'll explain how our ID and Instructor support team work together to coach up new instructors no matter their industry, teaching, or curriculum
experience. And, we'll walk through the steps and documentation we use throughout the course building process.
Next, we'll take your questions and answer them to the best of our ability. Finally, you'll leave our conversation with a solid course development process that you can implement
or tweak to fit your organization's course development needs, plus information on tricks, tips, and tools to coach up your instructors during the development phase, as well as in
post-development.
