OETA-5: High 5 for Online Instruction

Outcomes: 

High 5 for Online Instruction is a required part of Phase II of the OETA. This course leads faculty through 5 equity-creating practices that help online instructors build community, connect with students, create clear assignments, and stay flexible within a well-structured Canvas course.

• apply a variety of strategies to use students’ names and pronouns in an online course
• develop a structured online course while applying a flexible approach to address student needs
• apply early intervention strategies to address students’ progress and behavior
• construct and revise assignments using the transparency theory to enhance the clarity of expectations for online students

**Please note: Carefully consider your other commitments before signing up! You must log on and submit the first assignment by the end of the first week of the course. If you don’t complete the assignment by the due date, you will be dropped from the course. You will have the opportunity to sign up for a future offering, but that is not guaranteed. Thank you for understanding!

What Happens After You Submit

Submitting this form does not immediately enroll you in the courses. Here is what happens next:

1. Your registration will initiate a stipend pre-approval for Phase 2 through the college’s administrative system. If you have already registered for another Phase 2 course, this step has already been completed and will be skipped.
2. This process typically takes up to 7 business days, though scheduling factors may extend that timeline.
3. Once pre-approval is complete, you will receive a notification confirming your enrollment in the Phase 2 courses along with your official start date and completion deadline.

Please do not attempt to begin coursework until you receive your enrollment confirmation.

Upon successful completion of all Phase 2 courses within your one-year window, you will receive a $800 stipend. Note: Stipend eligibility varies for some employee classifications. If you have questions about your eligibility, please contact oeta@bellevuecollege.edu before submitting this form.
