University teaching is a complex task. When we first start to teach, nothing is automatic. Everything has to be carefully thought through. This MOOC introduces new teachers to key learning and teaching concepts and strategies in easily studied, two hour modules - just in time, just for you. Modules cover topics like strategies to teach that first class, giving feedback, facilitating group work, and online teaching. Happy teaching.
Peter Mellow's insight:
While it's a longish course for a MOOC (19 weeks) it has a great reputation. It comes highly recommended for any entering tertiary teaching.

Welcome to the course Using Data to provide Personalized Student Support. In this course we will explore the connection between the data captured in learning experiences, and its processing, analysis and use to produce personalized student support actions (in this case, learner feedback). The context is a learning experience for which a rich data set is obtained. The data must first be manipulated to derive insights, and then transformed into actions that are regularly offered to students while the learning experience is being delivered.

Analysis from MIT about the features of online videos used in MOOCs that online learners prefer. Interesting analysis for MOOCs but these features could be applied to videos used in any implementation of blended learning.
Also shows that the slick, production theatre videos with a highly professional look may not be the ones that students prefer to watch.

Australian universities need to be able to choose where they wish to place themselves on the continuum between teaching and research, between transmitting known knowledge and discovering the unknown, between short-term applied and long-term basic research, between cultivating students’ character and deepening their specific expertise, as well as between building international scholarly reputation and building national identity, between serving the professions as they exist and changing their social shape, between partnering with the community and standing apart as its independent critic.

"Education is not the transmission of information or ideas. Education is the training needed to make use of information and ideas. As information breaks loose from bookstores and libraries and floods onto computers and mobile devices, that training becomes more important, not less."
"Educators are coaches, personal trainers in intellectual fitness. The value we add to the media extravaganza is like the value the trainer adds to the gym or the coach adds to the equipment. We provide individualized instruction in how to evaluate and make use of information and ideas, teaching people how to think for themselves."
"Technology can make education better. It will do so, in part, by forcing us to reflect on what education is, identify what only a person can do, and devote educators' time to that."
