Online learning doesn’t have to be a pale imitation of “real” in-person learning. It’s a whole new way of interacting with learners. What if instead of a boring, predictable series of discussion question posts and assignments, your online courses were a dynamic journey that surprises and engages learners? This course will give faculty the confidence to create meaningful online learning experiences. Faculty have the skills to teach; we’ll show them how to transfer those skills to the online classroom – and it’s not about the technology!

Learning Objectives

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Create courses that wow learners with their interactivity and potent learning experiences
• Reliably build online learning experiences that students love
• Forge online connections to build the teacher-learner relationship as well as a peer community of practice
• Apply key principles of online teaching to create social, cognitive and teaching presence
• Avoid alienating or “turning off” your students to the whole online paradigm

Technology Requirements

This online course is delivered via Zoom, a web conferencing platform. All materials and course interactions will occur online. In order to participate fully, each participant must have:

• Their own computer (tablets and mobile phones do not allow full engagement )
• Reliable high-speed internet access (minimum 3 Mbps upload/download speed)
• Microphone and speakers (built-in, headset or from webcam)

Each individual – even those participants who are from the same institution – needs his or her own computer and computer headset (microphone and earphones). We highly encourage you to have a webcam to enrich our interactions.
