Graduate Certificate in Learning Technologies, Concentration in Blended and Online Learning in Schools
Teachers are increasingly being tasked with teaching courses that blend online and in-person instruction as well as fully online courses. The Graduate Certificate in Learning Technologies, Concentration in Blended and Online Learning in Schools (BOLS), is designed to support teachers within their current contexts. We provide a foundational understanding of the online and blended teaching and learning models as well as a focus on tools and technologies that enable online and blended teaching and learning to happen.
By offering the certificate program fully online, students also experience effective online instruction firsthand as learners. The program models a variety of online practices and instructional designs that promote excellence. For instance, online learners can feel isolated and anonymous in an online learning environment, so students in the program receive a high level of communication and feedback from their instructors, and most of the courses incorporate student-to-student communication and collaboration.
