This session will suggest strategies and tactics for preparing a successful proposal.

The OLC is a Faculty Learning Community. A Faculty Learning Community (FLC) is a peer-led group of faculty members who engage in active, collaborative programming, with a curriculum structured to provide encouragement, support, and reflection on teaching and learning. As an FLC, there is an expectation that participants will be active and engaged and bring their experiences, interests, and curiosities to the group. The purpose of the FLC is defined by the desired outcomes: a university-wide community of empowered faculty and staff interested in, and dedicated to, teaching and learning – in this case, it is focused on online teaching and learning. The process should be collective and collaborative and involve all members of the community. Each session will include:
The community will meet on the second Thursday of each month on Teams, while throughout the year engaging in conversation and community, information sharing and discussion using the chat function in Teams. Even if you are unable to attend the OLC meeting, we encourage you to join the community so you will have access to the information shared. The meetings will be recorded for community members unable to attend. For more information about the OLC, go to the OLC information page. For questions, contact Dr. Michael Gillespie, Director of the FDIC at mgillespie@eiu.edu. More
QODi (Quality Online Design Institute) was established to provide faculty at EIU with a professional development opportunity to improve the quality of online education and student learning. QODi incorporates the Quality Matters Standards therefore will help faculty prepare their course for the Quality Online Course Certification. Beginning in Spring 2024, the FDIC will conduct a cohort for faculty interested in completing the Quality Online Design Institute (QODi) but would like additional guidance beyond the asynchronous, self-directed format. After an initial informational meeting, the group will meet to discuss each of the 7 modules in the QODi course. The meetings will be available both in-person and online. In the meetings, the group will discuss the Quality Matters Standards associated with each module and examples will be provided for incorporating the standards into your course. Additional time will be provided for work sessions or one-on-one consultation if needed as you modify your course. Join us on January 23 for an informational meeting to learn more about this new opportunity. Space for the cohort is limited so register for the informational meeting today. Prerequisites for QODi:

This semester's critical reading will be "What Inclusive Instructors Do: Principles and Practices for Excellence in College Teaching."
This book explores teaching that recognizes and affirms a student's social identity as an important influence on teaching and learning processes, and that works to create an environment in which students are able to learn from the course, their peers, and the teacher while still being their authentic selves. It works to disrupt traditional notions of who succeeds in the classroom and the systemic inequities inherent in traditional educational practices.—Full-time Academic Professional, Doctorate-granting University, Education. The book unfolds as an informal journey that allows the reader to see into other teachers’ practices. With questions for reflection embedded throughout the book, the authors provide the reader with an inviting and thoughtful guide to develop their own inclusive teaching practices. More 
The Online Course Development Institute was established to provide faculty at Eastern Illinois University a professional development opportunity to experience best practices in online teaching and guidance in quality online course development. The OCDi is for EIU faculty developing or redesigning an online course and teaching online for the first time at EIU. GOALThe goal of the OCDi is to provide faculty with suggested guidelines and training necessary to develop a quality online course which will enhance the online teaching and learning experiences of both faculty and students and encourage effective engagement and collaboration in the online environment. EIU ONLINE COURSE POLICY“All instructors of online courses must submit proof of having completed the Online Course Development Institute (OCDI), Illinois Online Network’s “Master Online Teacher" certificate or another documented and equivalent training activity before teaching the courses/sections for the first time.” The EIU Online Course Policy can be found at https://www.eiu.edu/eiucaa/OnlineCoursePolicy.pdf. OBJECTIVES
TOPICSThe course contains eight content modules. The topics of each module are listed below.
FORMATThe OCDi Training Course is an online, self-directed course. Participants work through the content modules at their own pace. However, the facilitator is always available to answer questions, provide consultation, review assignments, and post grades and feedback. The course includes online activities, online resources, technology tutorials, and an online synchronous discussion scheduled at the participant’s convenience. TIME REQUIREMENTI am often asked the time requirement necessary to complete the OCDi training which is a difficult question to answer. The training originated as an 8-week face-to-face course followed by the completion of the online course development. The same course components remain but the course has been developed into a self-directed, online course. Because the course is self-paced, completion time often depends on many factors including the motivation, technology skills, experience, and time demands of the person completing the training. More
