The Course Developer Workshop (Online)

 

Dr. Paul Swan

What Is It?

The Course Developer Workshop Online will help you develop meaningful courses in less time. Dr. Paul Swan, your facilitator for the lessons, offers detailed feedback to you personally… one-on-one.  The feedback can range from confirming feedback, when the assignments are right on the mark, to corrective feedback  and even consulting where he shows what he would do in that situation.  If you need more feedback, he will ask to schedule telephone calls to discuss the assignments to be sure that you are successful.

Dr.Paul Swan is an excellent facilitator and I would not have been able to complete this certification without his guidance. His objective feedback coupled with encouragement and expert guidance helped me complete this program successfully. His availability on the phone and his quick response with feedback helped me learn from a real-time perspective.
