DE CERTIFICATION AT GCC

Register for the @ONE DE Certification Course - IOTL!

GCC is proud to offer Faculty free DE Certification in partnership with @ONE Train-the Trainer Program

Great teaching can happen anywhere, but teaching online requires different skills, strategies, and tools than in a traditional face-to-face classroom.

In this 6-week course, fully-online course, you will gain proficiency in the unique qualities and perspectives of masterful online teaching, including powerful ways to support the success of online students, how to lay a foundation for a productive learning community, and infusing your course with your distinctive presence.

We'll walk you through the pertinent federal, state, and local regulations impacting online teaching, and set you on a path to designing success for you and your students!

  • Identify and discuss federal and state regulations that impact online course policy and practice

  • Identify local support for online teachers and learners

  • Design introductory activities that support an online learning community

  • Develop clear and supportive online course policies 

  • Your Role in IOTL: The Student and the Teacher: Throughout the IOTL course, you will wear two hats -- the student taking Introduction to Online Teaching and Learning and the instructor of your own course. As you move through each module, we want you to immerse yourself in Canvas and online education from the perspective of an online student, then apply that experience to your own class. This will offer invaluable insights into how it feels to be an online student, developing empathy for your learners and your growth as an online instructor.
