Faculty Resources--Developing Online Course Material

IPFW offers its faculty two main ways to develop online course material: VISTA and websites. Below is material to aid you in developing your composition course with either of these methods.

VISTA Development

The main VISTA page is located on the my.ipfw.edu page. This site has general information about how to develop a VISTA site. The Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching (CELT) offers workshops in VISTA. Additionally, Worth Weller has developed a user-friendly ENG W131 VISTA template. If you have questions about developing a VISTA site, contact the CELT office at 481-6354.

Website Development

Information Technology Services (ITS) offers all faculty personal webspace. ITS offers details regarding how to set up your own web space and how to design your own website.

In Fall 2003, Ernie Rufleth and Jenn Stewart presented a PEER session detailing what should be considered when developing your class website. Listed below is the handout highlighting that PEER. If you have any questions about the handout, contact Jenn Stewart.

Many IPFW composition instructors have already developed their own sites. Feel free to peruse these sites for development ideas.
