Online Instruction
If you have taught more often in a traditional (bricks and mortar) classroom, then the online environment may look like the landscape on an alien planet. How do you really reach the students when you can’t see them? How do you get them to participate…and how do you accurately grade the efforts of an online discussion forum? Most important, is there any way to translate the assignments and activities already designed for the traditional classroom to the online classroom, or do you have to start from the beginning and create everything all over again?
These and many other questions related to teaching online are answered in our series of 6 courses dedicated to online instruction. And the best news is that you CAN translate the traditional activities and assignments to the online environment. The skills you’ve already built can now be put to work in this new medium and you can learn to successfully navigate between the traditional and online classrooms.
Integrating Media
You’ve been told to make your courses more interesting, more engaging…and you feel like you’re competing with MTV and Facebook! The good news is that you can integrate media into your classroom and the process is relatively painless. Let this course show you how to enliven your lectures with meaningful media, keep the students involved, and successfully address a wide variety of learning styles in the process.
Blended Instruction
Today’s schools are pressed to make the best use of limited facilities and teaching resources, while also required to accommodate the students busy lifestyles. This juncture of student and institutional needs has given rise to blended (or hybrid) instruction…some combination of online and traditional learning. Our courses on blended instruction will help you make the transition, assure that the content is presented effectively, and help your students get the best out of both approaches.
