About the Course

Are you an educator? Have you ever wanted to understand more about how to design your class to make better use of educational technology – whether fully online or in blended contexts? Would you like to learn from those who have extensive practical experience with online technologies? The Learning to Teach Online (LTTO) MOOC will help you develop a working understanding of successful online teaching strategies that you can apply in your own practice. The course is based upon the multi award winning open educational resource developed by Dr Simon McIntyre and Karin Watson. Integrating online technologies into your teaching can be a challenging prospect, and it can be difficult to know how to approach it effectively for the benefit of both students and yourself. No one knows your own content and teaching strengths better than you, and the “one size fits all” formula doesn’t always suit everyone. No matter what type of technology you are interested in exploring or your level of experience, this course will help you draw on your teaching strengths and find the approach that is right for you, your students and your educational context. This course will guide you through your journey of understanding how online technologies can enhance your course design. You will have the opportunity to develop your understanding of effective online teaching practices and their relationship to the use of different technologies. You will also be encouraged to progressively design and reflect upon your own online learning activity, assessment or resource for use in your own class if you choose to undertake the course assignments....

I found the course to be very interesting. I am not a very techno-savvy person and the course really enhanced my knowledge about the resources available out there. Both the instructors (Negin and Simon) did a real good job with the design and the delivery. Thanks a lot to the entire team which strived towards putting this course up.

Great option to enrich our online teaching practices in terms of contents and assignments: it provides a good combination of visual and written resources as well as project-based learning. Also integrates different kinds of online teaching methodology along the course development

This was a great course in preparing me for the unknown 2020-21 school year, with us being remote most likely. There were links that did not work and would like to see some new articles concerning online teaching models. Thank you for this opportunity to grow as an educator.

This course helped me get an overview of all the things we need to consider for online teaching to work as a whole. It is a course that gives you a perspective of how you are using technology in the classroom and how small activities correlate to your global learning goals.

It was a very thorough course. Very well done for 2010 or whenever it was done. But that is the downside: there were quite a bunch of links with 404. I think in the current times it would be much easier than back then when the course was created to track the error-links.

Enjoyed the wealth of information, numerous short videos, online resources and practical assignments. While I do not work in an educational institution, I feel more equipped now to develop, facilitate and evaluation online webinars at my not-for-profit agency.

un muy buen curso. Requiere autodisciplina y conocimientos previos en eLearning.

Sin embargo, es un curso que derriba varios mitos y a la vez ordena de manera estructurada las áreas del aprendizaje online.

La navegación muchas veces lleva un poco a confusión.

The course is very nicely designed and introduces the learner about the principles behind online teaching. It would be much better if the course gives more overview about the different tools that are used in online teaching and how to use them effectively.

Excellent course material created well before the time of need. The instructors were enthusiastic and brilliant in their delivery. Would be great if the instructors could update the module with recent technologies that became popular during the pandemic.

This is a good course for the topic however it assumes that you are already teaching or have taught.

It is designed to reinforce teaching methods and discusses the options of moving education online.

Lessons are well presented with ample referencing.

Although the content in the videos wasn't rocket science, the wealth of external literature, blogs, videos, and research results, enriched my understanding of the importance of a proper training setup and teaching method for online training.

Hi! This was a useful course. It provided a lot of information and even recommended readings. The assignments are also very good. However, I would like the videos to be more than the lecturers speaking. Overall, it is very good.

I found this course very useful in learning many things to teach courses online. This will, no doubt, help me a lot in designing and teaching courses online during the pandemic scenario of COVID 19 and even afterwards.

It was really a good course which gave me overview of all the open tools and technology used for online teaching. It also upgraded my educational knowledge and skills which will help me throughout my teaching journey.

I really enjoyed being a part of this course.. Suggestion for next run is include more global tools. More tools were restricted to either higher education or something that needs to be purchased by the organisation.

Very good for starting to look into online teaching, It also serves as reinforcement of crucial pedagogical elements such as curriculum alignment. formative assessment and student's engagement and motivation.

Very good for beginners! I hope the course provider can also assign raters for the submitted output to provide balance with the peer review. Overall, I learned a lot and will recommend this to my friends.

This was quite interactive and had a lot of good resources, curated to what you wanted to gain. My biggest issue, however, is some of the resources are either slghtly dated or no longer available.

This was a great learning experience. My only suggestion is that a lot of links shared for resources didnt open it was page not found. I would have loved to take a look at those as well.

A very well explained and thoughtfully designed course that gives one a basic idea and the avenues of online teaching. Each of the module is simple and clearly explained.
