This March, the Office of Educational Technology is offering a new Online Learning Initiative that focuses more closely on the best practices in online course delivery. The Spring 2022 Intermediate OLI-Methods for Online Teaching is in place for faculty who would like to take a more in-depth look at how they teach online in the context of the Community of Inquiry Framework. The Online Learning Initiative training and certification or the equivalent offered by SPS is a pre-requisite for this training.

You will receive the PD Participation Badge after you complete and provide feedback. This will enter you into the EdTech Innovation Chase, which is a game-based digital badging system to provide badges for participating in professional development activities, mentoring, and innovating.
