“Okay, but what does it look like?” Building staff capacity in online learning design through role modelling

Abstract

Designing for online learning requires staff to rethink their approach to teaching and learning. A key challenge in this reconceptualisation is envisaging what this new teaching context might ‘look like’. In this paper, we describe the development of a self-paced online staff capacity building resource, which modelled good-practice online learning design principles and assisted staff to reconceptualise teaching through experiencing premium online learning.
