Online Course Design and Instruction University of California, Riverside

Overview

The sudden and widespread changes to traditional teaching have required teachers of all experience levels to be more agile while still meeting their institution's and district's standards of quality. 

But for educators who aren't as tech-savvy or have never taught an online course before, where do you start to set up, let alone keeps students engaged and learning? While some lessons and skills can translate to an online learning environment, others need an adjustment or a new approach altogether. Online Course Design and Instruction is offered at University of California, Riverside.
