The podcast consists of 10 - 15 minute long episodes that feature interviews with expert online instructors who can describe these small, actionable steps that every online instructor can take to enhance their online or blended learning courses. This way, EFTO can accumulate a library of content that is free not only for members of the PLN but anyone searching for strategies that can help them to enhance their online course.

The blog will supplement each podcast episode by summarizing the main takeaways, i.e., actionable solutions that listeners can apply to their situations. Blog posts will be published immediately following the release of an episode and will include “show notes”, which consist of links to articles, tools, websites, and other resources referenced during the episode.

As part of the concept-testing phase, I recorded a podcast with Dr. Vanessa Dennen, professor of Instructional Systems & Learning Technologies (ISLT) in the Department of Educational Psychology & Learning Systems at Florida State University. In this episode, Dr. Dennen shares her wealth of knowledge about teaching online for faculty who are just starting to make the transition from the Face to Face environment. She explains why instructors should think "People first. Content Second. and Technology Third."
