Teaching Online @ NAU (available in Bb Learn)

Workshop description Accordion Closed

This course is designed to help get you started teaching online for Northern Arizona University, and to serve as a refresher (and perhaps provide some new ideas) for those who have been teaching online for some time. It is divided into 5 modules, and you may choose to “test out” of any module by taking the pre-test for that module. Those who complete the entire course will receive a Certificate of Completion which will be required to teach online at NAU by Fall 2019. All instructors are enrolled in the course, as much of the information will be helpful to any instructor, but it will only be required of those teaching at least one online section.
