"A checklist of the best strategies for designing and delivering online courses to train online faculty." Some of the tips are for the facilitator who will be doing the course (model what you want faculty to do), but some are design. I think we're mostly meeting the design strategies in our training now, although we could do more multiple modality training.

Online instructor trainees must get practice with their writing skills. A great deal of communication in an online course happens via the written word (e-mail, discussion boards, chat, announcements, and online text readings). Be sure to include several small writing activities such as mandatory discussion or short reflective essays so your faculty trainees can keep their composition skills sharp.
