Training
 All faculty members at Daytona State College must receive adequate training to use
Falcon Online, including both technical and pedagogical skills. The 12-hour course
series is facilitated and supported by the Division of Online Studies, and it is required
for all full-time and part-time faculty members. The 12 hours of training comprise
three classes, which include Introduction to Falcon Online, Advanced Falcon Online
and Online Pedagogy, and Regular and Substantive Interaction. All faculty members
who teach in the fully online modality must complete the 12 hours, plus an additional
33 hours, to finish the full 45-Hour online faculty training series. Scroll further
down this page for additional details about the 45 hour online faculty training series,
as well as more information about these distance learning courses. |
Online Faculty Training Series
Faculty who teach fully online classes are enrolled in a 45 hour online faculty training series. This training is the result of a concerted effort to address success gaps in online versus face-to-face classes, support the development of knowledgeable and innovative faculty, and ensure a high quality online educational experience for students.
This 45-hour training is required for all faculty (full time and adjunct) who teach
fully online classes. Faculty will have 2.5 semesters to complete the training series.
Upon completion of the required 45 hours, faculty will be compensated for completing
this series at a non-instructional rate ($20 hr/$900 total). Faculty who have already
taken parts of this series will not need to retake classes and will still receive
the full 45- hour stipend.
