FLEXIBLE ONLINE TEACHING RECERTIFICATION
The flexible pathway, originally developed by the design team at Missouri Online, has been adopted and added upon by UMSLs' design team. The Sprint mini-courses are available to any faculty member to enhance their understanding of trending topics in higher ed or to re-certify to remain an active online instructor at UMSL.
The centerpiece of this pathway is the Teaching Essentials sprint, designed to empower faculty to enhance or optimize their courses by integrating materials from both the Quality Course Review (QCR) and the latest trends in higher education identified by the Online Learning Consortium and EDUCAUSE.
Registration remains open, allowing instructors to self-enroll and begin at a time most convenient for you.
