Online Learning Level One – Fall: October 19 – December 4, 2020

Online Learning Level One – Spring: January 4- February 6, 2021

Designing an online course can be a challenging process, but it does not have to be. That’s why we created Online Learning Level One. Together we can help you create a pedagogically-sound, technologically-strong online course for an upcoming semester.

This 8-week online course will give you guidance on how to start and complete the online course design process. A facilitator will give you feedback and suggestions every week of the course. After you register below, you will receive notification that you have a development site in your Canvas account. This development site is where you will create your online class.

Learning Outcomes

After the course, participants will be able to:

1. Demonstrate the key principles of online instruction.
2. Develop an online plan of action for your first online course.
3. Create learning activities/assignments that prepare students to complete summative and formative assessments.
4. Demonstrate the basic concepts of universal design.
5. Create a basic outline course layout.
6. Locate and create online resources that assist your students in completing your assessments.
7. Develop a student engagement plan for our online course.
8. Create a course syllabus and support documents for your online course.

Ideal for instructors ramping up to teach online for the first time!
