Carleton awarded funding to develop 13 new online courses and modules
After submitting 34 proposals to the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities’ eCampusOntario initiative, Carleton has been awarded funding to complete 10 new online courses and three new modules.
As part of the third call for proposals for eCampusOntario (formerly the Ontario Online Initiative), MTCU made $4.5 million available to Ontario universities to encourage online course development. Close to 350 proposals were submitted by 19 Ontario universities. Carleton faculty and staff were awarded the second-highest number of courses of all Ontario universities that submitted proposals this round.
The new courses include:
- Intermediate Programming (BIT)
- Introduction to Computer Programming and Problem Solving (BIT)
- Introduction to Indigenous Studies (INDG)
- Neurodegeneration and the Aging Brain (NEUR)
- Criminal Behaviour (PSYC)
- Organizational Psychology I (PSYC)
- Police Psychology (PSYC)
- Sport and Performance Psychology (PSYC)
- Benefit-Cost Analysis for Program Evaluation (PADM)
- Qualitative Research Methods in Evaluation (PADM)
The new modules include:
- Experiential Learning (Teaching and Learning Services)
- Open Learning (Teaching and Learning Services)
- Journalism Media Tools and Techniques (JOUR)
Teaching and Learning Services will be working closely with instructors to develop these courses and modules for the 2016-17 academic year, in addition to a number of other blended and online courses across the university.
The next call for proposals is expected in Fall 2016.
