To participate in this training, contact your Department Chair. Each Department Chair will submit a list of names to their respective Dean, who together with the Provost, will determine who needs this training to teach an online and/or hybrid course. A final list of names will be sent to the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) approximately 10 days prior to the beginning of the training. Once the CTE has received a list of participants, we will be in touch to confirm your participation and address next steps. If you have any questions regarding this training, please contact your Department Chair and/or the Center for Teaching Excellence at (517) 483-1680.


As online enrollment continues to rise, so too does the need for faculty who are prepared to teach online. Designing and teaching online courses requires skills that differ somewhat from those required of teaching face-to-face classes. To that end, this six week online seminar has been designed specifically for faculty who will be teaching online and/or hybrid courses. Upon completion, the successful participant will be able to:

  • Apply basic skills and knowledge relevant to teaching in the online environment.
  • Create an ANGEL course site which is easy to navigate, has a comprehensive and clear syllabus, and uses effective strategies for creating a community in the online classroom.
  • Compare and contrast the appropriate and potential uses of Web-based applications and educational technologies (E.g. discussion forums, PowerPoint, chats, blogs, social networking, etc.).
  • Distinguish among and employ a wide range of assessment strategies.
  • Identify resources and strategies available to LCC students to help them be successful in online courses.
  • Identify strategies and resources available to help faculty manage their time and workload when teaching online.

Participants can expect to spend a minimum of 10 hours per week engaged in this six week seminar. Prerequisite: The "Introduction to ANGEL" workshop offered through the Center for Teaching Excellence, or evidence of the equivalent. Faculty members will receive a $550 stipend based on participation and completion of requirements.
