    How can we make our online courses more engaging and effective for our students? How can we give students more control over and responsibility for their learning, while still maintaining standards and achieving outcomes? How can we leverage online technology to engage students in new ways of learning?

    In OTC: Innovate, faculty will explore innovative course design strategies proven to increase learning and engagement, then will redesign a course (or portion of a course) with the close assistance of OOL Instructional Designers and peers. Faculty will leave OTC: Innovate with a custom design plan and materials needed to run the course in the future.

    In OTC: Innovate, you will learn to: identify the names and structures of various innovative course design strategies; meet existing course goals and outcomes while using new, innovative course plans; manage student and instructor roles and expectations in novel course designs; implement and manage innovative course approaches in an online environment; create new materials for a redesigned online course; use Loyola's suite of technology tools to facilitate innovative online course designs; and plan engaging and interactive learning materials for online delivery.

    Online Teaching Course: Innovate is an 8-week course intended for faculty with previous online teaching experience and who have completed OTC: Design and OTC: Facilitate. For questions or to learn more, please contact the Office of Online Learning at online@luc.edu.
