Getting Started with Online Teaching
Open registration.
Contact udonline-design@udel.edu to enroll.
Getting Started with Online Teaching is a short (4-6 hour), self-paced course that tours the competencies required to be successful in teaching online. Participants will understand the scope of skills necessary to create and teach a high-quality online course, including course design, communication, time management, and technical competencies. The course is open to both credit and noncredit instructors teaching at UD.
The DLEO course introduces you to tools, tactics, and strategies for online teaching. It is especially helpful for someone looking to make their online classes engaging.
I highly recommend the course!
