This study developed a program to support the faculty of Saddleback College, South Orange County, California, in the development of online courses. Information for program development was gathered through a literature review, a survey of 24 community colleges in California, and interviews with representatives of model programs. The appropriate components, content, and format for the program to support faculty were explored though input from a formative committee of faculty members and the developed program was validated through input from the formative committee and a summative committee. The developed program includes workshops, online tutorials, and mentoring. The hands-on approach of the program, online evaluation, and online discussion should enhance learning. The program includes content that focuses on navigating the technical aspects and learning the communications features of the Blackboard (tm) program used in the online courses. The program also contains tips on revising curricula to be presented effectively in the online format, addressing learning styles in the online environment, and understanding legal issues related to teaching an online course. The endorsements of the formative and summative panels and the thoroughness of the information gathering suggest that the program and the plans to implement and evaluate it are appropriate and valid. Eight appendixes contain additional information and some supporting materials. (Contains 5 tables and 76 references.) (SLD)
