Graduate Certificate in Online Teaching
Personal Learning Environment for My Online Teaching Certificate Journey at Post University
Course Overview
EDU 630 introduces the principles of online teaching and learning across multiple digital environments. The course examines the history of online learning and key shifts in delivery, access, and instructional practice. I investigate similarities and differences between synchronous and asynchronous formats, focusing on learner experience. Research based best practices in e learning and online pedagogy guide how quality curriculum is designed and evaluated. By the end of the course, I am better prepared to recognize and create effective online teaching environments.
