Support as You Prepare for the Semester

Lindenwood Online has continued to offer a course for beginners, Introduction to eLearning, and the Learning Academy has offered guided Professional Learning Community (PLC) experiences for those ready to build on the basics called Taking Online Teaching to the Next Level for those who have mastered the basics. (If you have not had a chance to participate in the course or PLC mentioned above and/or are interested in enrolling in a course about online teaching, SUNY offers this one, which is free and self-paced.) Lindenwood Online is now offering Introduction to eLearning 2.0, a self-paced, professional development course for instructors new to online teaching using Canvas. The skills developed in this course are applicable to all subject areas, course levels, and modalities. To register please email LindenwoodOnline@lindenwood.edu.

The Learning Academy also has collaborated with Lindenwood Online to create and curate on-demand resources for faculty to access as they engage in course design and development. Resources include templates, video tutorials, links to articles, examples, how-to guides, etc.
