Show educators how to easily and effectively teach online with technology. This is a short introductory course aimed at helping educators quickly transition to teaching in online spaces. For a more comprehensive course, that shows educators how to teach in a blended learning way (bringing these principles into the classroom) check out the ACT Blended Learning course.
