Completion of Online Teaching Program

Teaching face-to-face and teaching in the online environment have similarities, but there are also significant differences requiring a broader set of skills to meet the challenges of the online environment. The Graduate Student Online Teaching Certificate indicates proficiency in effective online teaching with respect to best practices and competencies.
