CITL's Master Course in Online Teaching (MCOT) is a deep dive into online teaching strategies that extends what was presented during previous teaching academies. Prior participation in an instructional development series is not required but professional experience with university level instruction is strongly encouraged.
This synchronous version of MCOT will be limited to a small cohort to form our supportive learning community. The course contains 4 modules which have a modest weekly time commitment of approximately 4 - 5 hours. We will explore the following topics:
- Module 1 - Designing Your Online Course
- Module 2 - Developing Your Learning Community
- Module 3 - Adapting Best Teaching Practices to Your Online Course
- Module 4 - Motivating Your Students to Excel
Certificates will be presented to those who complete all course requirements.
