Introduction

Faculty developing and teaching courses in an online or hybrid program being supported by the Center for Academic Innovation are invited to participate in the Online Teaching Academy.

Step 1: Online Teaching Academy

The Online Teaching Academy (OTA) is a facilitated learning experience that builds upon concepts covered in the Getting Started with Online Teaching course to provide more in-depth guidance and mentoring through the planning, design, and facilitation phases of teaching an online course. Throughout the Academy, you’ll develop a course design and facilitation plan with help from experts who provide customized feedback and recommendations.

Step 2: Cohorts

Cohorts for the OTA will be starting at several points throughout the year. Participation involves approximately 6-8 weeks of effort; you can expect to spend 2-3 hours per week working through content and developing design and facilitation plans.
