Recruiting and Training Online Faculty Members
No full textRecruiting, screening, and hiring high quality online faculty comes with unique challenges: teaching online requires new skills, potential online faculty are located around the country, and adjunct faculty cycle in and out of the role each semester as their availability shifts.
To address these challenges, Columbia University School of Social Work created a five-week Institute on Pedagogy and Technology for Online Courses. This Institute prepares future instructors and teaching assistants (TAs) to become excellent educators with our Online Campus, which offers a fully online MSW degree. 254 participants from 30+ US states, as well as Canada, France, and India, have passed in the first six cohorts, and they lead about 100 online courses each year. The Institute includes weekly live virtual class sessions and several hours of asynchronous homework each week. This session will share the details of this Institute, and how it serves as a tool to both recruit and train online faculty members.
This Institute has been recognized with awards from UPCEA’s Mid-Atlantic Region, the International E-Learning Association, and the United States Distance Learning Association. You can read more in the Journal of Teaching in Social Work and on the USDLA blog.
This webinar will be facilitated by Matthea Marquart and Johanna Creswell Báez from the Columbia University School of Social Work’s Online Campus. Matthea Marquart, MSSW, is the Director of Administration for the Online Campus and creator & co-facilitator of this Institute. Johanna Creswell Báez, PhD, LCSW, is the Manager of Course Development for the Online Campus and co-facilitator for this Institute

Reflection Journals - Examples of using this powerful tool to help students synthesize course content
No full textFor new and experienced online instructors, or those who work with them, this interactive session will share examples of well received reflection journal assignments from online courses at Columbia University. The presenters will open by touching on research on the value of reflection journals, sample uses of reflection journal assignments, and how to provide instructor feedback and grading to deepen student work on future journal entries while maintaining a feasible instructor workload. Next, the presenters will share examples of reflection journal assignment instructions, grading rubrics, and lessons learned from two online courses. Finally, the presenters will facilitate a chat-based discussion to encourage the session participants to share their experiences, advice, and questions.
Most learning management systems, including Blackboard and Canvas, include a journal tool. This session will help instructors share and spark ideas of ways to use this tool effectively in their own online courses, regardless of the course topic or academic discipline.
The presenters will be Beth Counselman Carpenter, Assistant Professor, Southern Connecticut State University's School of Health and Human Services; and Matthea Marquart, Director of Administration, Online Campus, and Lecturer, Columbia University School of Social Work

Converting an experiential clinical skills-based lab from an on-campus to a live online version: A pilot
No full textThis innovative seven-week lab teaches evidence-based clinical skills to MSSW students entering their first year of field placement. The classroom version of the lab was piloted with on-campus students in AY2018-19 with great success and subsequently rolled out to all on-campus students. The lab is highly experiential, with a minimum of didactic teaching, and each two-hour session includes multiple interactive activities such as role plays, discussions, client simulation exercises, interactive exercises with demonstration videos, and pair or small-group activities. Each learning activity is debriefed with students to help them create their own meaning, and students connect the learning activities with their internship work with clients.
In Fall 2019, we piloted this lab with 12 online students as a prelude to bringing this lab to all of our online students. This required converting the weekly two hours of classroom activities to two hours of live online activities each week -- essentially redesigning all seven of the lab sessions.
To do this, we took a collaborative approach involving two areas of expertise: Mary Piepmeier is a content expert and runs this lab program, and Matthea Marquart is an online education expert and runs the online Master’s program. We co-designed and co-facilitated each session, taking maximum advantage of the tools available in Adobe Connect. The end result was a highly interactive online lab experience that engaged the students throughout and effectively taught students the clinical skills.
To assess this pilot, we asked students for feedback in polls and via typed chat during each session, and we looked at the student feedback evaluations after the course ended. Students were enthusiastic about their experience and about how they will use their skills in the future.
The lessons we learned are applicable to any clinical course, as well as any course that uses experiential learning activities.
