What does it take to build a sustainable strategy for online education?
First of all, developing a strategy is a process/journey where you need to collect data information and have ways of interpreting/framing that knowledge with tools as well as time for reflection.
Secondly – it is not a one man show- good strategies are developed by teams and involve the wider community.
If colleagues are involved from the start, they are more likely to buy into its direction and implementation.
Finally – the key aim of a strategy is to ensure that colleagues are all working in the same direction and that resources are used to best effect, it’s an useful tool to sense check any action you take to see if it contributes to your objectives.
This workshop “Developing a Sustainable Strategy for online Education” guides you through this process. The aim is to create a supportive community who can learn FROM each other and learn WITH each other.
A range of tools have been developed that you can use through the process including an institutional questionnaire, a learning journal to capture your thoughts in systematic way and a PowerPoint template that you can use to develop a presentation for use within your institution.
You will need to assemble a support group within your institutions who you can work with between the modules.
During the Online sessions you will have opportunities to share your thoughts, ideas, and problems with fellow participants using action learning principles.
Overall the programme is there to provide shape and impetus so that over the course of the three weeks you can have made real progress in developing your own institutions strategy regarding online education.
Structure of the learning journey
There will be one free Introduction session familiarizing the participant with the tools and frameworks required for the following 3 live modules, in between these participants will be working asynchronously together with their own internal support team on projects which be central to their learning process in order to start building an online strategy.
