The BOLD Institute: Blended and Online Learning Development (Winter 2023)
Are you planning to teach online, but don't know how to start designing an effective online course or learning objects? Perhaps you already have an online course, but would like to improve on it?
Join us for a fully online course to gain both theoretical understanding and practical experience with the design, development, and production of eLearning courses and objects using readily available tools in eClass, Office 365, and Zoom. This course is actively facilitated by a Teaching Commons instructors, and participants will be able to ask questions, receive feedback on their work, and access further support and resources via email, in online office hours, and through the course shell in eClass at any point.
