Over the past few weeks, educators worldwide have been forced to shift from in-person classroom teaching to distance learning. If you’re like most, you may be finding it very challenging to do this effectively.
This two-part series, facilitated by award-winning instructor Barbara Houtz, is aimed at early- career faculty as well as high school teachers who want to become—as quickly as possible!—successful instructors of online courses, trainings, or professional development programs.
In these one-hour webinars, Houtz will teach you how to create and implement an interactive online course. You’ll come out of these two hours feeling empowered with online teaching skills, and confident that the level of quality you’re offering your students is equal to what they would have received in a traditional classroom.
