Certificate in Online Teaching & Design

The design of your course has a major impact on student success. Based on the exemplary criteria from the CVC-OEI’s Course Design Rubric, the Certificate in Online Teaching & Design will help you push your course to the next level, whether you’re experienced or new to online teaching.

Participants complete coursework facilitated by experts from across the state covering the four areas of the CVC-OEI Rubric:

  1. Content Presentation
  2. Interaction
  3. Assessment
  4. Accessibility

Participants can choose to complete our 12-week course, Online Teaching & Design (OTD), or the series of four, 4-week courses listed below (4x4). Digital Badges are awarded for completing either the 12-week course or each of the four courses.

Learning Pathways

Participants can choose between two pathways through one of two pathways:

Pathway 1:  Take the 12-week Online Teaching & Design (OTD) course. This is the best option if you want a streamlined experience.

Pathway 2: Take the four-week courses (4x4) listed below. This is the best option if you want to spread out your coursework and complete it in shorter chunks.
