DE Faculty Information

This page is meant to be a resource for Compton College Faculty seeking information on teaching with Canvas and the tools available to assist with creating learning experiences.

DE Certification Process

In order to teach online asynchronously faculty must be certified in distance education. You can find more information on course work, demonstration requirements, and the overall outlined process on the Compton College Process for DE Certification.

Below is are the requirements for DE certification:

  • Course Work
    Compton College has outline training that must be completed in order to teach online (asynchronous, Hybrid, and synchronous courses). All training is conducted through @ONE, a professional development organization dedicated to faculty teaching online.

    Once you have completed the above coursework you will need to submit proof of compelteion to the DE Department at distance_ed@compton.edu before moving forward with a course demonstration
  • Demonstration

    Once you have completed the required course work you will need to complete a course demonstration through the Faculty Course Review Committee. Your course demo needs to have a developed introduction module along with three (3) content modules at a minimum for review.

    To get started, submit a review request to the Course Review Request Form. Once your request has been received the Distance Education Faculty Coordinator will assign you two (2) faculty reviewers who will guide you through the demonstration process.

    Should you have any questions regarding this process please contact us at distance_ed@compton.edu or contact Dr. Brad Conn (bconn@compton.edu) current Distance Education Faculty Coordinator.


Professional Development

The DE Department Coordinates multiple trainings each semester on Canvas and other digital tools available. A survey is sent out to the campus community during the Fall and Spring semesters for feedback on training topics of interest. 

Fall and spring semester events are announced at the beginning of both semesters via the departments DE Newsletter, Vision Resource Center, and Professional Development communications.

If you are interested in more information on professional development please contact us at Distance_ed@compton.edu for more details.
