Along with Hawes, the faculty personnel for the project are Dr. Thomas Cassidy, co-director; Dr. Yvonne Sims and Dr. Karey Perkins subject matter experts; Dr. Reginald Rampone, syllabus developer; and Josalyn Woodruff-Lee and Joná Hodges, syllabus and course consultants.
In addition to compensation for faculty project personnel, the NEH grant provides funds for outside online course development consultants, who will work with CODE and the project personnel to ensure that the courses provide active and interactive learning opportunities within the asynchronous context and to ensure that the program meets accessibility standards.
The online course development consultants will also ensure that formatting aligns with SC State branding and with best practices in using Blackboard, the university’s learning management system.
