Description and History
of Internet Based Instruction at SAC
In the fall of 1996, San Antonio College
offered a single course via the Internet.
This first course was created and taught
by Jim Perkins and Michael Berrier. At
this time, San Antonio College faculty
have developed many
courses offered completely on the
Internet.
Faculty also use the Internet to support
videocourses (telecourses) and traditional
instruction.
Further expansion of the Internet-based
course offerings and the increased utilization
of the Internet to support telecourses
and the traditional classroom instruction
depend on faculty interest. To act on
that interest, however, requires a faculty
with the skills necessary to fully utilize
Internet-based resources.
At the request of the San Antonio
College President and Deans, a certification
program was developed to ensure skill
attainment of faculty developing Internet
courses and a consistent high quality
of course materials. Each month
the Instructional Innovation Center
will offer
several courses toward the completion
of this certification. (See below.) Faculty
completing all the course requirements
may be awarded a certificate verifying
their readiness for developing an
Internet-based
course or using Internet based resources
to support videocourses (telecourses)
or instruction
in the traditional classroom. To receive
certification, faculty must also
develop
draft web pages supporting an Internet
course, videocourse (telecourse)
or traditional classroom
course. Certification will be awarded
on completion of the courses, after
a
review of skills and Internet content
by Charlotte Wolf, Fred Kinman, and/or
a committee of the Internet faculty. Courses will be held in the Instructional
Technologies
and Innovation Center, MLC Room 716, unless otherwise
announced. Check the Training
Schedule for times.
For information on developing Internet-based
courses, using the Internet in the classroom,
using Internet to support the teaching
of Videoconferencing, Videocourses (telecourses), or Internet
Course Certification, contact Charlotte Wolf or Fred Kinman via E-mail. Information is
also available at the Instructional Technologies and Innovation
Center at 210-733-2188.
