This six (6) week online course is designed to provide professors with the skills needed to deliver a high-quality online/hybrid course. Successful participants will also be able to teach effectively online through active facilitation and a variety of student engagement techniques and technologies. Prerequisite: Canvas Foundations. Please plan ahead to ensure you have the time to complete all of the required course activities. This training is much more than "Canvas training", as it includes elements of instructional design and strategies for building, developing, sequencing, and delivering online content. When you are done, you will have a template for your online and/or hybrid course. Each participant will read parts of the required textbook, participate in discussions, and complete learning activities designed to reinforce each topic. One of the greatest lessons you will probably get out of this experience is how it feels to be a student. You will be required to log on and attend, meet minimum standards for participation and submit assignments. Communications will usually be asynchronous (not at the same time). Enrollment in this course is through Teaching, Learning, and Distance Education and includes a maximum number of 16 participants. If a participant drops the course at any point throughout the course, they can re-enroll into another training session. However, they will be placed on a waitlist and only permitted to re-enroll if the course has not reached the maximum number (first-time participants who have met the prerequisites have priority). Re-enrolled participants will need to complete the entire course again.
This is an asynchronous online course that can be complete anytime between Monday, May 5th to Sunday, June 15th.
