May 20, 2009
Looking for a way to get your feet wet in the online classroom? LEARN NC, Instructify’s parent organization is offering a free professional development course, Introduction to Online Learning, to get you acclimated to virtual schooling. The course begins Wednesday, May 27 (that’s one week from today, folks) and it’s free to up to 15 North Carolina public school personnel on a first-come, first-served basis.
Introduction to Online Learning introduces first-time online learners to the characteristics, requirements, tools, and practices of distance learning. You’ll learn how to use the discussion forum, participate in a synchronous chat, and review both formal and informal online courses in a welcoming, patient atmosphere. Participants who complete the course will receive a certificate for 1 CEU.
LEARN NC will offer IOL again this fall, but if you wait till then it’ll cost you. Don’t miss your opportunity to take it for free! To register, please click here. -BILL FERRIS
