Description: |
Interested in online learning? Want to know what it takes? Teaching students from a distance requires adapting your current teaching skills to reach out to students via email, online conferencing and other written communication. During this inquiry based hands-on course, participants will review and reflect upon examples of “best practice” online learning. This process will take place in an online learning environment using the course management system, Moodle. Participants will have 1 day of face-to-face training and 3 weeks of online training where they will participate in, and facilitate, threaded dialogs and online chats. Participants will also be expected to begin developing their online curriculum including course description, syllabus, and standards alignment. Completion of the course allows teachers to participate as instructors in SOCRATES online courses. Participants should bring a laptop to work on exercises. |
