ODEL Offers New Courses for Instructors Seeking Online Teaching Certification
The Office of Distance and Extended Learning is pleased to announce the launch of two new courses designed to provide Texas State University instructors with additional opportunities to obtain their Online Teaching Certification.
- The first course is an asynchronous, self-paced course consisting of several modules through Canvas, the institution's new learning management system (LMS). Faculty can enroll in the course through August 31.
- The second course is a hybrid course in Canvas consisting of both asynchronous and synchronous learning opportunities. Topics covered in the synchronous session, held via Zoom, are meant to complement the modules completed in Canvas prior to the synchronous meeting. Synchronous sessions, along with Canvas course enrollment, will occur in June and August.
More information about both courses can be found on ODEL's Online Teaching Certification page, including information on how to signup for either course.
Texas State Faculty: Get Ready to My-GREAT your course!
Now that the new LMS has been identified, the ODEL faculty development team is busy designing a suite of resources, workshops, and webinars that will prepare you to turn your blank Canvas into a work of teaching and learning art. Learn more about these exciting new opportunities on the ODEL website!
