Online Instruction Graduate Certificate
Remove barriers of geography and time with a certificate in eLearning
Remove barriers of geography and time with a certificate in eLearning
Our Online Instruction Graduate Certificate program provides a theoretical and practical basis for developing online instruction in a variety of settings, including higher education and corporate training. Structured with the adult learner in mind, the degree allows students to explore online pedagogy and instructional design principles to develop courses and training dedicated to the online environment. Students will also develop an understanding of the ethical and legal standards of online teaching and eLearning.
This certificate provides a more compact version of the degree for those who already have a Master’s degree. The 4-course sequence can be completed in one calendar year.
The knowledge obtained earning my graduate degree allowed me to more effectively teach and handle a larger workload. This increases my ability to instruct up to 30 credit hours a year while still running a freelance video production business and maintaining a healthy family life.
