Online Course and Faculty Development Program (OCFDP)
Boise State supports offering academic courses in flexible delivery methods in part through the development of high quality, successful online courses and programs. This requires the investment of resources that ensure: faculty have the opportunity to learn teaching skills, strategies, and best practices that are effective in online education; faculty receive expert support in developing courses for the online environment; and sufficient resources are available for the ongoing instruction of the new online course/program.
The OCFDP is a collaborative program between Academic Technologies (AT) in the Center for Teaching and Learning, the Distance Education (DE) Department in the Division of Extended Studies, and the University's academic departments. This comprehensive program supports the development of online courses and programs as well as the faculty members who develop and teach them. The elements of the program recognize that the development of an online course can take 4-6 months.
