What it is about
“The obstacle is not in the path. It is the path.” – Zen proverb
Online teaching and learning are here to stay. Despite deep confusions and strong resistance among many educators and educational institutions, colleges are highly likely to continue to provide online education in synchronous, asynchronous, or blended format. With this, teachers who have been teaching in physical classroom settings have both challenges and opportunities ahead of them. Challenges, because teaching online requires completely different resources, mindset, and skill-set. Opportunities, because teachers can now embrace technology so that they can educate and empower more students.
The purpose of this course is to help teachers transform their current skills and beliefs, and become amazing online teachers. The course will take teachers into a deep exploration of various aspects of online pedagogy, learning frameworks, and learning science. It will also challenge the teachers’ existing beliefs and teaching philosophies and will make them question everything.
On a concrete level, the course will help teachers learn, unlearn, and relearn to plan lessons, implement online tools, design activities, and keep students engaged in online learning.
