Graduate Certificate in Online Teaching is offered to 15 graduate students from the College of Arts and Architecture assigned to assist with an online course this Spring 2021. This non-credit practicum will include 9 required synchronous meetings and 3 activities. After successful completion, students will be awarded a “Graduate Certificate in Online Teaching”.

 

The practicum will provide graduate students with online teaching resources and strategies, which they can implement directly into their own teaching. It will address various approaches to effective communication and evaluation of student work, giving graduate students a platform to demonstrate their personal methods to communication and assessment.

 

Practicum’s objectives will focus on the following:

• Introduce students to the best approaches to providing personalized, encouraging, and constructive feedback.

• Provide best strategies to effective communication with students.
• Collect reflective feedback to better understand their progress and overall experience, which can later be implemented to improve future offerings.
• Create a college-wide graduate student community where each participant brings their personal contribution to the table.
