On-campus institutions are increasingly moving towards blended modes of delivery. In
some cases, these blended programmes supplement existing offerings; in other cases, they
replace them entirely. Regardless of the reasons for introducing blended programmes,
teachers should engage in suitable professional development activities so they can
successfully navigate the pedagogical and technical challenges they will encounter as they
move courses online. The aim of this paper is to present a case study of a workshop, which
equips on-campus teachers with the knowledge and skills they need to design and develop
online courses. The paper first outlines the typical challenges faced by online teachers and
some recent professional development initiatives that aim to facilitate the transition to online
delivery. The paper then describes the initial structure of our workshop, the rationale for the
initial workshop content, feedback received from workshop participants, and how the
workshop content has evolved. This paper presents some planned future developments
and best practice recommendations for other institutions considering moving courses
online, in terms of the pedagogical, infrastructural, and technical needs of new online
teachers and how the institution can facilitate the transition from on-campus to blended
delivery
