ILT Project: eLearning Leadership Proposal
IT 5650: Policies and Planning for ELearning Programs

The purpose of this project is to facilitate knowledge building around planning and implementing an e-learning program. This project explored a change effort within my current organization focusing on professional development for K12 online instructors throughout the state of Colorado.

The goals of this eLearning proposal initiative include:

1. Initiate a long-term model for professional development for online teachers in Colorado that will meet the standard for quality online teaching;
2. Support the training of two current online teachers; these teachers will then facilitate the additional training of other online educators in the state;
3. Train online teachers in courses specific to content areas that will improve student CSAP scores. Those courses will include mathematics; and
4. Utilize current technologies to introduce online teachers to Web 2.0 tools, and provide guidance for their use in the online environment for their students.
