This course is designed to help you learn the basics of the online teaching and move to more advanced topics, such as digital learning environment, different Learning Management Systems and delivery technologies, ADA compliance, social inequality in a virtual environment, online pedagogies and their application in the classroom, and virtual office set up.

It will address ADA compliance and accessibility management, as well as disadvantages that students overcome to succeed in an online classroom. The course will cover time management strategies, and peer support services available online, especially mentoring, coaching, and certification programs.

Audience: This course is aimed primarily for K-12 teachers, instructors, and faculty that have no experience in teaching online, or the experience has been limited and related to the COVID-19 crisis. It is also for college students that intend to be teachers.
