Need to brush up on your engagement activities for online learning?
Looking for ideas on how to enhance participation in your online or blended course design?
Want to know how to foster presence in your asynchronous learning environment?
Come be a part of our Online Teaching Certification Series!
Our Online Instructor Certification courses ensure that all Saint Mary’s instructors are up-to-date on the best practices in fully online education so they can deliver fully and partially online courses, or rapidly pivot courses to an online modality when necessary. This series is a great opportunity to learn the basics of online teaching and learning and elements to include when designing weekly engagements.
Participant Expectations: The Introduction to Online Instructor course is an asynchronous 5-week course, with an anticipated workload of between 2-4 hours per week. It is an expectation to log in to Canvas and engage in asynchronous activities multiple times throughout the week. These activities are designed to model relationship and community building to enhance trusting teacher-student and student-student relationships. Participants will be asked to interact with, provide feedback, engage in online conversation using various engagement tools, and do other interactive activities with other members of the course. There are no required in-person or synchronous virtual meeting sessions, however, the instructor may offer one or two with the option to attend.
