Enhancing Online Education

Learn at your own pace

Discover, plan, and create effective, engaging, and accessible instructional materials

In this self-paced, fully online program, you will learn how to create or curate effective, accessible instructional materials for online courses. You will have the flexibility to focus on creating written, visual, and/or audiovisual instructional materials. For each of those types of materials, you will explore research-based criteria and work independently on activities.

The program time commitment depends on the modules and activities you choose, as well as whether you complete the optional final project, which includes feedback from an instructional design expert. The program is open to UW–Madison instructors and teaching assistants at no cost.

Watch for more topics coming later this fall!

“If you want to be a good online teacher, I don’t know that there’s anybody on campus doing it better … You get to see clear examples of effective strategies, and there’s so many resources that you build into the course that I still use.”
