Virtual Teacher Specialization

The Virtual Teacher Specialization is a five course series that covers best practices for online instruction, student engagement and virtual community building; effective uses of asynchronous and synchronous technologies, social media and other emerging technologies; and data analysis techniques and student performance measurements to individualize instruction in an online or blended environment. The Specialization concludes with a final project. Students must design a comprehensive online or blended module of instruction that incorporates the skills developed throughout the courses.
