The Certificate in Online Teaching provides a sound foundation in distance learning history, instructional design, and hands-on development of online courses necessary to prepare effective online teachers. Course assignments are centered on learning new technology skills and tools; developing individual learning objects, courses, and projects; and gaining practical experience in teaching and learning strategies for the online environment. The program is designed for teachers in P-12 and higher education.
Note: The Certificate in Online Teaching courses can be transferred into the Education Master of Science (M.S.) or Education Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree program. Master’s students, working with a BSU advisor and their school official, must take an additional 5-10 credits related to their teaching field to complete a 14-19 credit cognate area. Students in this certificate program also complete core courses in education and a final research paper or thesis. Students using the Certificate in Online Teaching as part of a cognate will add ED 6115 The Psychology of Learning to meet credit requirements of the degree.
