Teaching online requires a set of skills and strategies that are distinct from those used in a traditional, in-person classroom. The Orientation to Online Teaching was developed to help you get the right start in teaching online.
This mini course is for all faculty new to online teaching and is the first step for meeting the requirement to “complete an online teaching certificate program to be eligible to teach online” (University Policy 633).
Available: Fall 2022
Time Commitment: Two to 10 hours, depending upon experience teaching online with Canvas
Audience: Faculty new to teaching online at the University
The Orientation to Online Teaching is an asynchronous mini course that is self-paced and can be completed anytime, prior to teaching online.
The course is organized into five modules:
The Orientation to Online Teaching course is directed at faculty (full-time and part-time) who have never taught online. Faculty who have completed the former Online Teaching Certification (OTC) course do not need to complete this Orientation.
The Orientation to Online Teaching course can be completed in two to ten hours, depending upon experience teaching online with Canvas.
The Orientation is self-paced and will be available for enrollment in the Fall 2022 semester.
