The top three problems faculty cite when it comes to teaching online:
I don’t have the time.
I’m not a techie.
I wouldn’t know where to start.
Solved, solved … and solved!
But the truth is, getting there is not that difficult. In fact, you’d be surprised how painless the process can be. Especially when you anchor your efforts with Online Courses: Step-by-Step, a program tailor-made for faculty seeking a simple and efficient way to get online.
You'll learn how to teach online ... one step at a time!
In three content-rich modules, Online Courses: Step-by-Step will help you feel at home in the online classroom. You’ll discover:
• How to develop a course that provides academic rigor and strong outcomes.

• How to “reimagine” your regular course material for online use.
• What you can do with learning management systems, wikis, online research and shared document development tools.

Each module focuses on a set of core principles that form the foundation of online success…

At one module per week, you’ll find the course fits comfortably into even the busiest schedule. It also fits into the tightest budget … the course fee, modest to begin with (just $299), drops even further for group registrations, starting at just two people. If there are others on campus who share your interest, you could save nearly $100 per person.
Now, thanks to Online Courses: Step-by-Step, there’s nothing to keep you from exploring the online classroom, making full use of educational technology, and adding an important accomplishment to your professional résumé.
