The Online Teaching Institute was developed by Bryn Mawr faculty and staff to help instructors who found themselves designing and teaching online courses for the first time during the pandemic. The modules below are a self-paced guides to the pedagogy and logistics of designing and teaching effective online courses.
By the end of the Institute, you can expect to be able to:
- Build and support a community of inquiry in an online course
- Articulate learner-centered outcomes and objectives for an online course
- Identify which learning technologies and approaches best fit their course’s learning objectives
- Design effective online assessments aligned with course objectives
- Plan, organize, and create online lessons on Moodle
- Effectively manage instructor and student workload
Although you will learn about college-provided technologies for online course design (particularly Moodle), this course probably won't answer all your questions or help you with troubleshooting. Please see the links below to self-help training materials and/or to schedule a consultation with our educational technology specialists.
Faculty will need approximately 8 hours over the course of the first 2-3 days to successfully complete the Institute modules that support hands-on development of online course components.
