Achieving Certification

As part of the Quality Enhancement Plan, SCF committed to the development of a certification program for faculty who teach either web-based or blended courses. Online programs and workshops have been established to assist eLearning faculty in mastering the competencies to achieve certification. For more information about the current workshop schedule, go to the SCF Faculty Development Website.

Definitions:

An online course is one in which 75% or more of the course is delivered online. Students may be required to come to an onsite meeting for no more than 12 hours in a 3-credit course.

A blended course is one that combines both online and face-to-face activities. The online activities are regularly scheduled and replace seat-time. By definition, no less than 30% and no more than 74% of the course is delivered online. Therefore, a 3-credit blended course could require from 13 to 36 hours of in-class time, with the remainder of the course delivered online.

eLearning Online/Blended Instructor Certification Course

The goal of this training is to certify online/ blended Instructors. eLearning Level 1 will train you to use the online tools needed to deliver online and blended courses using our LMS (ANGEL) . eLearning Level 2 will train you to design high quality online and blended courses aligned with today’s research supported “best practices” and an emphasis on Quality Matters standards.

Upon completion of the steps above, the eLearning faculty member will receive SCF eLearning Certification

Full-time faculty receiving eLearning certification can count this as 3 hours of course credit in the Faculty Promotion system.
eLearning Certification will count as meeting the criteria for Adjunct Certification for adjunct faculty.
