Throughout its history, the College has encouraged and supported faculty efforts to explore and integrate new methods and technologies to improve instruction and enhance learning. Effective ways of integrating the Internet and other technologies has been a major focus of the professional development program.
The first courses delivered fully online were offered in the spring semester of 1999. Since that time, online course offerings have continued to expand. Some of these courses have been entirely produced by Oakton Community College and others were customized from pre-packaged materials, from either publishers or educational program purveyors.
The Center for Professional Development offers a variety of programs to support faculty in developing and maintaining online and web-enhanced courses. Workshops focus on using software tools and on effective teaching strategies in the online environment. Individual consultation can be arranged by stopping by the CPD or by setting up an appointment.
