Bootcamp Course Outline

The purpose of FLO Bootcamp is to support BC post-secondary educators to review and tweak an existing online course.  

The approach is meant to be “surgical”, i.e., specific, applied, and practical. Bootcamp does not cover everything, nor even everything that is important about online course design and facilitation.  But it WILL help you get in front of the problems we have heard about MOST often, particularly lately. Bootcamp was created as a response to COVID, but it’s ultimately about good online course design and facilitation practice generally.  

Bootcamp is designed to provide a variety of supports within a very flexible structure on a few specific course design issues. Central is the idea of completing individual challenges that are to be applied immediately to your course. We also aim to sneak in a variety of tools and ways to do things in case you want to pick any of those up along the way. 

There are scheduled, synchronous events each day for those who like to gather to ask and answer questions and discuss issues with other smart colleagues. 

Besides a brief daily check-out post, nothing is required, per se, but we assume you are here to work - it's a Bootcamp, after all!
