The goal is for you to leave with implementable solutions that can have an immediate and positive impact on your students and your online teaching practice.

As a key component of this micro-course, you will apply your knowledge to design, implement, evaluate, and revise a unit or instructional plan in your own virtual setting.

  • Micro-Course 3 - Leveraging Communication Technology in the Online Learning Environment
