Register for Adult Learning Strategies series
Professional Development offers a series of classes (independent yet related), that help with the process of creating classes, programs, and workshops. The three online classes can be taken independently or sequentially. Join a cohort of learners as you learn about: Writing Clear Learning Objectives; Effective Instructional Design Methods; and Integrating Instructional Activities. The classes are offered in a flipped format, meaning participants learn materials online at their pace (asynchronous) and then come together via video conference (synchronous) to discuss the material. Each class takes about 1-3 hours to complete the asynchronous portion and 1.5 hours for the synchronous portion. See the course information sheets for more specific information about each class.
