The Anderson University Center for Innovation and Digital Learning (CIDL) and M.S. Instructional Design and Learning Technology faculty are providing professional learning experiences for educators and administrators across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Two self-paced certificate courses are available: “Fundamentals of Remote Teaching and Learning” and “Supporting Remote Instruction.” Participants will earn a certificate recognizing ten professional development hours for their selected course.
Fundamentals of Remote Teaching and Learning Course Description:
Most teachers had to move to remote teaching and learning at the flip of a switch. Looking ahead, many teachers want to be more prepared with a resiliency plan to keep students engaged and learning as seamlessly as possible. This certification course will help teachers explore the importance of community as well as content in a remote learning environment. Teachers will develop a resiliency plan that accounts for engagement, assessment, and feedback.
Supporting Remote Instruction Course Description:
As an instructional leader, you are likely accustomed to seeing and hearing the needs of your teachers and students in the hallways and classrooms. Remote teaching and learning, however, requires a different set of tools and a different approach than is typical. Throughout this certification course, instructional leaders and support staff in both K12 and higher education will develop a remote instructional support resiliency plan that takes into account the variety of needs and tools to develop a resilient faculty.
FAQs:
How are the courses organized?
Each course is divided into five modules with an overview, resources, and an application assignment in each. The application assignments build upon one another, so each module will open upon submission of an assignment.
How will I be graded?
Assignments are graded as complete or incomplete by a facilitator within 24-48 hours. The facilitator will look for an understanding of the assignment's purpose in accordance with the course and individual module, but we expect there will be a a variety of ways for these assignments to be completed depending on your individual needs.
How long does it take to finish a certificate course?
You have as much time as needed to complete this course, but we have set the time expectation at ten hours, which your certificate will indicate.
When will I receive my certificate?
Your certificate will be automatically awarded upon earning a completion grade for all five assignments. It will be available to download and print in your Canvas Dashboard.
