This morning I saw 90+ people reviewing my gDoc, HyFlex Course Design - Example 50-Min & 75-Min Class Sessions. I added new resources this week. To make it easier to find, I've published it to the web: https://t.co/diC6Ttgyrp

So proud of the Foothill team that participated in cohort 1 of the Academy, and so excited to hear what our cohort 2 team experiences!

A small step for more equitable online courses is ensuring the imagery represents our students. Check out this amazing resource, then set your bar to ensure your class reflects our amazing diversity--the online team is happy to help you adjust your images!

You are not alone! The Online Learning team is here to support our students, faculty, and staff!

Welcome to the first day of Winter Quarter, Foothill Owls! You are not alone. Reach out! #YouGotThis & #WeGotYourBack ❤️🦉🖤

@landshark805 @FoothillPrez For our Foothill family, I'll clarify: when a group of children are disciplined by teachers two and three times more often than other groups of children, we need to assess the bias affecting disciplinary action. In H.E., we need to understand how that bias affects our students.

[Foothill Online @OnlineFoothill]

When institutionalized racism begins in kindergarten, we need conscious, robust, and effective measures to counter the accumulated effects. Read this report to better understand systemic racism in education:

Suggestion from our brilliant student leaders at Foothill College, instead of an "Office Hour," hold a "Student Hour." an elegant, simple change that shifts to a student-centered model!

[Foothill Online @OnlineFoothill]

The quarter starts tomorrow, Foothill. Read this before you start—a great reminder for teaching with empathy. And for that technology piece? We’ve got your back! https://t.co/jSdooL70j3

[Foothill Online @OnlineFoothill]

@JGlapaGrossklag And, perhaps, by recognizing that the CCCs--including @ONEforTraining--is leading in professional development and equity in online courses...

Hey, Foothill faculty! Want to create a more engaging syllabus? Here's some ideas--let's plan a Syllabus workshop!

[Natalie B. Milman, Ph.D. @nataliebmilman]

1) Motivating students to #ReadtheSyllabus is always a challenge. Admittedly, it's not the most engaging part of most courses. There are welcoming and engaging ways to *design* them. Here are some strategies such as creating:

[Foothill Online @OnlineFoothill]

Hey, Foothill faculty, want to make one of these? Watch the Online Learning PD calendar for a special workshop on using Canva and your bitmoji to build a welcoming graphic organizer for your students!
