Developer Certification – Going
Strong!
In 2012, the Online Instructor Certification received
Quality Matters Certification for meeting all of the standards of the Continuing and Professional Education (CPE)

Distance Learning
and Academic Technology celebrates with all of you who
have completed the Online Instructor and Online Developer
Certifications. Since the first sessions were offered in the
spring of 2007, almost 800 Tulsa Community College faculty and staff have completed one or both of the certifications. This number includes the 57 participants who are
currently enrolled in Online Instructor Certification as well
as the 731 people who have participated in prior Online
Instructor Certification and Online Developer Certification
workshops.
Many participants take part in the Online Instructor
workshop to learn about the technical tools with no immediate intentions of teaching an online or blended course.
Full and part-time faculty participate in both workshops to
become certified to teach and/or develop online or blended
courses, or to learn more about the technical resources
available at the College. Administrators take certification to
gain a better understanding of processes. Staff, who support faculty and students, take the Online Instructor Certification workshop so that they can learn more about the systems they support. For some participants, the workshops are the

Participant evaluations have been overwhelmingly
positive. Nearly all participants in both workshops agreed
or strongly agreed that the workshops meet the primary
objectives. In the Online Instructor Certification, 97% of
the 480 survey participants agreed or strongly agreed that,
the workshop was helpful in understanding the online
learning environment. Even more telling is that 95 % of
participants who either agreed or strongly agreed that the
workshop should be a requirement before they are allowed
to teach an online class at TCC. In the self-paced version of
Online Developer Certification, 92% of participants agreed
or strongly agreed that the workshop was helpful in understanding best-practices of sound online course design.
Tulsa Community College faculty find support not
only from the Distance Learning and Academic Technology
department, but from numerously committed staff who
have taken the time to learn about online courses and the
technical tools used in classes at the College. Faculty mentoring faculty is evident and an essential means of support.
The DLAT faculty and staff appreciate the active support
for the certifications and value our relationships with you.
We thank you for making this training so successful.
