Online Learning Levels

Level 1:

Designing an online course can be a challenging process, but it does not have to be. That’s why we created Online Learning Level One. Together we can help you create a pedagogically-sound, technologically-strong online course for an upcoming semester.

This 8-week online course will give you guidance on how to start and complete the online course design process. A facilitator will give you feedback and suggestions every week of the course. After you register below, you will receive notification that you have a development site in your Canvas account. This development site is where you will create your online class.

Ideal for instructors ramping up to teach online for the first time!

** Note: Completion of Online Learning Level One fulfills the requirements for initial development for online instruction at UNCG.

Level 2:

If you have taught online before you are ready to explore new approaches and strategies, Online Learning Level Two is your starting place. Participants review the latest research about what works in online environments, learn new ways for students to collaborate online, create new resources with media tools, explore new ways to facilitate and create assessments and experience a variety of communication tools from the viewpoint of a student.

Ideal for instructors who have taught online before and are comfortable with Canvas, but want to do more with their online courses!

Current participants emphasize that the course is an important source of accountability as they work on an upcoming course.

**Note: Online Learning Level Two and Level Three fulfill the requirements for continuing professional development for online instruction at UNCG.

Level 3:

If you have taught online before and you are ready to explore new approaches and strategies, Level Three is a great option. Participants are matched up with a colleague for peer review of an online course. Peer review is a formative process that gives UNCG faculty an opportunity to get feedback about a past or future online course. Participants will have their chosen course peer-reviewed by another participant and review another participant’s course. Peer feedback in Online Learning Level Three is based on several validated rubrics for online learning.

Level Three involves a required, synchronous session for facilitating the peer review process.

During the review, a peer uses five common standards to review your course. Participants can select additional standards to review either during the registration process or during the synchronous session.

**Note: Online Learning Level Two and Level Three fulfill the requirements for continuing professional development for online instruction at UNCG.
