COURSE DESCRIPTION
Introduction to Teaching Online is designed for the secondary teacher or administrator who has limited experience with online courses, but who is interested in learning more about pedagogy and methods used when creating online content. Participants will explore: the mindset shift needed when moving from face-to-face instruction to online instruction; standards and good practice for online curriculum development and teaching; and essential tools and resources for online courses. The course concludes by asking each participant to design a unit for one of their own courses to be taught entirely online. COURSE FORMAT
