DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hands‑on workshop designed to help you make int
 entional\, pedagogy-driven decisions about online course workload so that 
 student time-on-task\, learning outcomes\, and well-being are in better ba
 lance.\n\nWhat to expect\n\nIn this session\, you will map one of your own
  course modules using simple tools to estimate student time-on-task\, diag
 nose overbuilt and underbuilt weeks\, and identify “nice‑to‑have” 
 activities that can be streamlined or redesigned. You will also draft clea
 r syllabus language that makes time‑on‑task expectations transparent f
 or online students and reviewers. By the end of the session\, you will lea
 ve with a clarified workload plan for your module and a set of concrete ar
 tifacts you can adapt across your online courses.\n\nBy the end of this wo
 rkshop\, faculty will be able to:\n\nProduce a clear credit‑hour mapping
  for at least one module\, covering readings\, media\, discussions\, assig
 nments\, and exams.Identify and remove or redesign “nice-to-have” / no
 n-essential elements that do not meaningfully support module outcomes.Iden
 tify and expand or redesign underbuilt (insufficient-engagement) elements 
 that do not provide enough support for the module outcomes.Update syllabus
  and LMS language to document workload expectations transparently for stud
 ents and program review.Who should attend:\n\nFaculty teaching in digital 
 modalities\, such as online and hybrid\, who design or revise courses and 
 want to better align workload\, rigor\, and student well-being.Program lea
 ders for online and hybrid programs who are responsible for accreditation 
 documentation\, curriculum coherence\, or reviewing course-level workload 
 expectations.
