Online Learning at CWU: Faculty Online Experiences

To provide a framework as a basis for discussion faculty were asked to select several topics derived from an article called, "Seven Principles for Good Practices in Undergraduate Education". The article was originally published in the AAHE Bulletin. The authors, Arthur W. Chickering and Zelda F. Gamson provided a popular framework for evaluating teaching in traditional face-to-face courses. These same principles have been adapted and used by many as a framework for designing effective instructional strategies for online learning. If you are interested in a copy of the CD with Blackboard tutorials, tip sheets as well as the video vignettes please request a copy via email - chinn@cwu.edu. A copy of the article appears at the following web site:
