Upcoming Workshops
TeachOnline@UW
This long-standing, comprehensive, instructor learning community is intended for instructors who are designing (or re-designing) and teaching fully online, for-credit courses. Participants experience what it is like to be an “online student,” while exploring and applying research-based online course design and teaching practices.
The program offers two online courses and webinars. The “Facilitation and Management” course helps instructors explore techniques, strategies and practices to help identify and hone a plan for connecting with students and managing an online course. The “Plan and Design” course is an opportunity to make significant progress on developing or redesigning a quality online course.
Instructors can take one or both courses, in any order, depending on your needs. After completing each course, instructors will receive a digital badge and recognition letter to their dean and department chair or supervisor.
