Graduate Certificate in Online Teaching
Personal Learning Environment for My Online Teaching Certificate Journey at Post University
Course Overview
EDU 639 examines trends and innovative practices that are transforming online and hybrid learning across multiple contexts. The course highlights technology supported pedagogical innovation as a core driver of meaningful instructional change. I analyze how trends such as UDL, analytics, XR, and microlearning intersect with equity focused online design. Assignments require me to adapt selected trends to my professional setting and justify those decisions using research. This page serves as a hub for my EDU 639 reflections, artifacts, and conference style final project work.
