| Abstract: | A primary concern with Information Technology (IT) training has been that IT-based training focuses upon the technical or
point and click aspects of learning management system (LMS) platforms and pedagogy-enhancing software without any concern
for the content of the courses. The Digital Course Training Workshop (DCTW) approach examined in this article addresses this
concern by supporting a content-first approach. The DCTW approach—an initiative at a Midwestern University—is aimed at supporting
faculty through the process of transitioning from face-to-face (F2F) courses to online teaching. Participating faculty enter
the week-long seminar with traditional course content and leave with digital content transitioned into the appropriate LMS
platform. This article is intended to stimulate reflections on the need for systematic faculty professional development programs
and activities to help higher education faculty in the transition process from traditional to online courses. |
