Welcome to Foundations of Teaching Online!
The purpose of this self-enroll course is to introduce the basics of teaching and learning in online and blended learning environments.
Some of the topics we will explore include:
- what online learning is and how it is different from other learning modalities
- how we can apply learning theories, instructional design theories and models, and other useful frameworks to create optimal learning experiences for our students
- what tools and technologies we can use to facilitate learning
- methods for enhancing learner engagement, accessibility, student success, and more!
This course is divided into six modules. Each module includes the following:
- Module Introduction
- Video Presentation
- Knowledge Check
- Wrap-up and Reflect
- Module References and Additional Resources
In order to receive a Certificate of Completion, you will need to complete each of the six modules, which includes watching the video presentation and completing the knowledge check with a minimum score of 80%. We also encourage you to take time after each module to reflect on your learning and view the module's references and additional resources.
You can also use the course as a resource and participate in single modules without the option for a certificate.
