For New Instructors
Please familiarize yourself with the roles and responsibilities of the course coordinator role, lead faculty role and section instructor role.
The institutional FERPA training is required for everyone who will be teaching with the MPH@UNC program. If you have created your ONYEN, you are ready to do the FERPA training. This will allow you to be added to the registrar’s approved “instructor” list in ConnectCarolina. You have to score 100 % in order for the training to be considered “complete”; you can take it as many times as you wish. Make sure you’re using your UNC email address and are connected to the VPN before you try to access the training. If you need to install Duo, see the following for more information: https://its.unc.edu/2-step/. If you have any trouble installing the software on your computer, there are IT contacts on the page. You don’t need Duo or VPN for access to the 2U platform, but you will for ConnectCarolina (entering grades) and accessing Course Reserves.
Use your UNC email address
All official communication will go to your UNC email and it is the only email address used by the Registrar, Dean’s Office, grad school, and MPH@UNC program, etc. So if you plan on using another email, please set up a forwarding rule in your email. Both students and faculty are asked to use their UNC email within the LMS system.
Please fill out the following Qualtrics form with your PID, ONYEN, and UNC email address.
Complete the Learning Track that is specific to your role (Section Instructor, Course Designer, or Course Lead.) All learning tracks consist of two components: self-paced courses and live training sessions. The self-paced asynchronous courses include how-to videos, detailed instructions, and checks for understanding. The synchronous live training sessions provide an opportunity for you to apply and practice what you have learned in the courses with a Faculty Trainer.
Additionally, 2U offers 30 or 60 minute Online Educator Consultations with an Instructional Consultant to focus on the specific topics you would like to discuss related to 2U technology or classroom engagement strategies. These consultations are available to schedule at any point throughout your time teaching in the program.”
All live session instructors teaching with the MPH@UNC program are asked to set up a weekly reminder on their calendar for the day after their live session to complete Feedback/Iteration Tracking document. This weekly tracking sheet helps instructors document changes identified in the course. At the end of the term, instructors are expected to share the sheet with the course coordinator or lead faculty. The lead faculty will review the items recommended for iterations and will consider them in the course iteration process.
We would like everyone teaching with the MPH@UNC program to be showcased on our faculty web site Please send a short bio and a headshot to Jennie Saia (jsaia@unc.edu), and let her know you are a new adjunct with MPH@UNC.
