Acquire the necessary skills to
deliver online instruction
effectively and successfully! This intensive five week CoP offers
methods and strategies for teaching online,
based on Walter's extensive experience!
Teaching online is more than just taking traditional content and posting it on a web site. The new technologies of the Internet challenge educators to re-examine their most fundamental assumptions about teaching and learning. Once you have developed a pedagogy for Web-based instruction, you are ready to master the skills and strategies necessary to facilitate online learning. This CoP examines both online instruction and online coursework in conjunction with face-to-face classroom instruction. It is intended for teachers working with colleagues and/or students online.
Teaching and Leading in a Virtual Classroom provides the tools and skills necessary to deliver instruction in a web-based environment. You will consider different kinds of online environments, asynchronous and synchronous forms of communication, approaches to online collaboration, assessment of student participation and projects, and more. Based in the Blackboard learning environment, you will learn how to manage all the course facilitation tools Blackboard has to offer.
In this CoP you will work with me to maximize the full online instruction has to offer you and your students. Join us and acquire the knowledge and skills you need to extend your classroom instruction into the virtual age!
