Tip of the Week!
There are several types of professional development in which faculty may or must participate. Some of them can be confusing! Here’s a brief description of the different types of training available:
CBTs - CBTs (Computer-Based Trainings) are found in the Training Portal in Campus Connect. Some sessions, such as the Information Security User Awareness Training and the Sexual Violence Awareness and Prevention Training, are required for all faculty and staff. If you are required to complete one of these sessions you will be notified by the College.
BBRD101 - Blackboard 9 Faculty Training, BBRD101, is conducted entirely online through Blackboard. BBRD101 must be completed by all faculty, both online and face-to-face, before they begin teaching. The course is self-paced and takes approximately 2-4 hours to complete. Successfully completing BBRD101 allows instructors to teach face-to-face, however this course does not certify you to teach online.
IVYC101 - Faculty are required to successfully complete the Online Instructor Certification Course, IVYC101, before they may teach online. Faculty who do not plan to teach online may take this course if they wish, but are not required to do so. IVYC101 is a six-week course that contains specific deadlines (not a self-paced course). Participants must complete all activities in the course and achieve at least a 90% in order to be certified.
IVYC201 and 251 - IVYC201 is the Online Course Developer Certification Course and IVYC251 is the Online Course Mentor Certification. If you are hired to develop and/or mentor a statewide online course, you will be required to take one or both of these courses.
Quality Matters - Quality Matters (QM) training is not currently being offered. We will notify faculty when these training courses become available.
