Graduate Certificate in Online Teaching
Personal Learning Environment for My Online Teaching Certificate Journey at Post University
EDU 632 Course Status Completed
EDU 632 has been completed as part of my Graduate Certificate in Online Teaching program. This page now serves as a completed-course record of my learning, reflections, and LMS-focused artifacts.
Course Overview
EDU 632 – Learning Management Systems is now a completed course in my Graduate Certificate in Online Teaching sequence. This course focused on how learning management systems organize, deliver, support, and evaluate online instruction across educational and training settings. I examined how LMS, CMS, and LCMS platforms support course structure, communication, assessment, learner progress, content delivery, and instructional management. The course also connected directly to my professional work with Canvas, online teaching, HSE Boot Camp planning, accessibility, and adult learner support.
My completed work in EDU 632 built from prior certificate coursework in curriculum design, online delivery, assessment, accessibility, and trends in online learning. After completing EDU 637, I applied my assessment and development experience to LMS evaluation, course organization, and platform-based learner support. The course helped me evaluate how platform design choices affect usability, navigation, accessibility, engagement, feedback, assessment, analytics, and instructor presence. This page documents my completed EDU 632 reflections, artifacts, and applied projects from the course.
