8 Week Course/Instructor Led/Weekly Modules/Earn a Digital Credential

Description

This course introduces an eight-week course about completing a process. In order to do this, you are going to demonstrate 4 skill sets important to teaching online successfully. We will also take time to build upon our own online communication/facilitation skills in this program. The following is a very general overview of the course while specific requirements and assignments for each module will be detailed in the course itself. As there is no required textbook for this course, recommended readings will be available online.

The Practicum is the final course in the Master Online Teacher (MOT) certificate program. The course is instructor-led, eight weeks long, and fully online. Practicum participants will work with a small group of peers and one instructor to develop or improve an online course.
