INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING AN ONLINE CLASS?
The Educational Technology Department supports faculty in the development of all credit online classes offered at CCSF. There are several steps in the development of an online class.

Before exploring online classes, make certain that you have been trained in and use CCSF’s learning management system, Insight. You are encouraged to use Insight for at least one semester before applying to develop an online course.

1. Talk with your Department Chair and identify a course for online development. Identify an existing course that is currently taught face-to-face. The course must have been taught for at least two semesters. It is strongly recommended that faculty develop courses that fulfill CCSF graduation requirements, meet CTE requirements or transfer to the California State University and/or the University of California systems.  Also, courses that are severely impacted are more likely to succeed online. Without Department Chair support, the course cannot be developed.?

2. Complete the Application to Develop a Class for Online Delivery. You will signatures from your Department Chair and Dean. Please check the deadline.

3. The application is brought to the Distance Learning Advisory Committee (DLAC), a Shared Governance Committee. The DLAC reviews the application and gives final approval for a faculty member to develop a new online course.

The Educational Technology Department funds the development of new online classes per the AFT 2121 contract, Exhibit O.

4. After the class is approved for development the faculty member is added to the next cohort of faculty developing online classes. Development begins in fall semesters only.

The faculty member works closely with the Educational Technology Department in the development of the online course. Faculty are trained on the pedagogy of converting a face-to-face course to online delivery by participating in the Online Teaching and Learning Course. Face-to-face workshops are required where faculty learn how to use the various tools in Insight. One-on-one meetings are required as faculty build content in the new online class. At various stages of development the new class is reviewed by CCSF’s Alternative Media Specialist for accessibility and by Educational Technology faculty for deliverability. Final approval is done in collaboration with the developing faculty member, the Department Chair where the course is housed, the Alternative Media Specialist and the Educational Technology Chair. The process takes between one to two semesters.

If you have questions please contact Cynthia Dewar, Chair of the Educational Technology Department, at cdewar@ccsf.edu.
